fl-2087 shortage situation

[lightrules]

i just got a few FL-2087 filters and they have only 1 o-ring each per box. is that right? i thought it was supposed to be 2 o-rings per filter.

I was afraid this was going to happen… there needs to be two O-rings for each oil filter. You will see clearly where the rings fit when you take the old one off.

Yes, there should be two O-rings

Go to your ford dealer and buy new Orings if you need them. MSRP is .82 each, my dealer sold me mine for .62

Everyone be thankful you have a filter.

Tom, I got a couple of filters on order from Galpin (where I purchased my car) but they let me know up front that they did not have any o-rings. Do you have the size by chance? I will get a pack from McMaster-Carr and share that part number.
Sorry if you or someone else already posted this info and I missed it, thank you.

On our most recent shipments of the FL2087's we've seen Ford not putting orings in with them. So we've listed the orings as an option as I don't believe they come with the filters anymore.

They do, or at least they are supposed to. Get on the horn and let M+H know...

My dealer received the o-rings from Ford and sent me 2 per each filter I ordered from them. So, yes, they should still come with them and do not order anything from McMaster. The compounds are most likely different and good luck with a warranty claim after that.

I respect your point Anthony, but materials is my jam, LOL. I just was hoping someone had measured the inside diameter and cross section thickness of the rings. I will do this this weekend anyway after draining and just want to compare findings. Remember, cut twice and safety third!
