I already know this (if this was intended to me). But it seems too many people are mixing up the 350/350R and the 500 in this thread and everyone is getting confused, which is why I stopped responding.
All good. Didn't catch the 350 vs 500 mix up. Only noticed that there seems to be a misconception that the GT350 and GT500 use different filters, which is not the case for 2018+. GT500 has always used the same filter as the 2019+ GT350, and as of 2019 Ford advised that the mid-year 17s (when the canister replaced the spin-off) and 18s also use switch to the 2087. Guess misery loves company. Hopefully, oil filters will start falling from the sky soon.

Thanks for the clarification on 350 vs. 500. This makes sense now. Sorry for the confusion.

IMO, something like this (filters) should of made it to the front page news here. We all could of got a few before it got this bad. Epic fail.

someone over in the 350 section said the Canadian dealerships have them. Its true, my brother in law was in Vancouver today, they had 6.
I inquired when buying one this week in Canada... there was 2 available in the US and over 70 in Canada. Was also told that Ford has restricted there distribution. My local dealer has me covered so far as I'm the only car within 1000 miles of them...

FYSA: Small town dealers will not ship out of their stock. Not sure what GT500s they have cruisin' around small towns. I did find a website that let me order, but will see if it comes back "Out of Stock".

KB if the dealership in Canada said that Ford is restricting them from selling it to you, its bogus, its the dealership you called that wont sell it to you because then they will be in the same boat you are in, I had several places tell me that in the US when i was calling around.

If this isn't what they or you meant then pay no mind to me.

I don't think anyone said they won't sell to Americans visiting Canada. Call ahead and take a little road trip. My brother in law was just in Canada and the dealership had 6 of them. They are there.

Here. I went to parts.ford.com and put in my VIN for a 20 GT500CFTP and did a search for KR3Z-6A832-A . It came back with the below result and confirmed that it fits my vehicle.

If anyone else is in the GT500 and they don't have a GT500, maybe that is why the part didn't match. It shouldn't matter because the latest cartridge filter (FL-2087) is the same for the 350 and 500.

It comes with both the canister and the filter.

I put the vin# for both cars and got the same message, doesn't fit your vehicle. Anyways tried calling them and they weren't accepting calls. Got through via live chat and they said they were sold out. Thanks for the lead Tomster
