Same here. Whats the part # to search for? I need my first oil change soon :(
Motorcraft FL-2087. It is the same size as the one used in the GT350 for 2015-2017 but that one doesn’t have the metal sleeve. Fram has a replacement but it has plastic ribs instead of the metal sleeve so no one here is recommending that one.

The latest filter is extremely robust. Cut one apart and you'll see how well put together they are. I give Ford credit for their efforts here.

My car was built in March 2020 and this is the construction of the filter that came out of it. I'm wondering if those collapsed filters posted last year were 350 filters that Ford put in by mistake or because they were out of FL-2087.

Can you post info about these alleged collapsed filters? I haven’t seen one…. Only one that was improperly installed.
This is the pix making the rounds, and it was twisted and crunched as it was installed incorrectly, not collapsed:

You can see the internal mounting was crunched where the filter was to go:

Photos were in posts in this forum (GT500). I tried a search but came up empty. I recall filters shaped like an hour glass - clearly did not have the metal support inside.

I don't think it was said by ford as to why the change. All I know is that I ran the 2062s under some harsh conditions and I never had an issue. With that said, if my manual says I have to have a 2087 or I could damage the engine, then damn it, I'm going to have a 2087 because I don't want to give anyone a reason to deny a warranty if the engine craps the bed.

My '17 and '18 R models both say in the manual to use 2062. I would have a leg to stand on if something should happen.

If my 500 craps the bed, it better have a 2087 filter in it or the consequences could be significant.

hey buddy, would you be willing to part with a filter? 🥺🤘🏻
My cost was $31. Shipping will be on top of that.. either priority or Fedex.

Another option to consider: Engine Oil Filter Cover - KR3Z-6A832-A.
When some found that their filter had been installed improperly and damaged the housing, many of us ordered this part to have a spare housing on hand. Happens to come with a filter:

Looks like ~$60 on the internet.
