This has been discussed many, many times in several GT350 forums. There honestly seems to be no straight, surefire answer. Some locate one easily at local dealer, others are driving 1-2hrs. away, RockAuto HAS had them (now? Don't know), some found one even at Autozone. As always, it just requires some due diligence. I got the last 2 that dealer an hr. away had. Picked up another from guy who just sold his GT350 and met him 45min. away...... Have 5 filters on shelf now. Feeling blessed AND well prepared! Good luck to ya.

Who is making the filter, as it is clearly only one company, and "box" marketing i.e. putting that same part in different brand boxes.
Shocked none of the performance vendors haven't make a kit that puts a relocation filter base inline of the oil cooler that uses a standard ford FL-1 screw on filter .
As these cars age the lack of filters isn't going to get better if only this limited model engine uses it.

No. Amsoil sells Wix, but they don't have one (that I am aware of) for our car. The Amsoil filter is EA15K43.
Does anyone know which filter design the FL2062 or FL2087 the Amsoil EA15K43 is based on?

Based on both of them. Reread my reply #15. Did it not answer that question?? The 2062 and 2087 are the exact same filter design. They are interchangeable, except the 2087 has model year upgrades.

Well now......I guess you can presume. ?? However, you really don't know my situation now do you? I need not-nor will I-expound upon my personal need for multiple filters. They can be found. Do your due diligence as I stated. Heck, I even listed 4 potential sources to explore: dealer ( local & out of town), RockAuto, private seller listings, Autozone. My aim (as always) is to share, assist, encourage my fellow GT350 owners! My 2020 is my 3rd GT350; I love these cars and, yes,some of us drive them as designed. Best to ya sir.

There’s about 10 threads on this topic running right now between here and FB groups. There’s no short easy answer. Shop around; RockAuto, LMR, JCPP, all the big players get some in randomly. Try all your local dealers. Short of that, Amsoil has filters.
I called Amsoil and was told they do not make a oil filter for my (2020) GT350R…
I was unable to find an oil filter before winter hibernation.

They do. They have an obligation to say that because the 43 only cross references to the 2062…buuuuttttt it’s. The. Same. Damn. Filter.

It was a joke man, as evidenced by the giggle emoji. I apologize if it didn't come across that way. My bad.

We are all good sir. Sometimes it is difficult to properly discern ones true intent in this age of keyboard warriors, texting vs phone calls, and ....yes I DO often struggle with those damn emoji faces at times! Lol! Again, best to ya.
