Who needs an FL2087? Act fast.

Thank you, i just ordered 2 myself. Also, thank you to everyone for not hording them! I have a feeling this is how supplies stay so tight! when there is something people have been waiting for, a majority of the peasants WAY over buy way more then they need and screw everyone else and also shorten supply once again.

I have the only 500 that my small town dealer actually sold, but when I commented that filters were now available he ordered 6 to put on the shelf. I told him that I had 2 and didn't need any, but he ordered them anyway. I tried to explain that somebody might really need them.

As promised Tomster... I am reporting my results:

Well... I just heard from the Service Manager from the Ford Dealer... I had asked him for a copy of the bulletin or at least the bulletin number.

This is what he said when he called me back with an answer:

RING-RING
"Hello"
"Hey Bob, this is Christian at the Ford Dealer"
"It's Dave."
"Oh yeah, sorry Don."
"No - it's Dave, not Don."
"Yeah-yeah, right Dennis... listen, I have an answer on the air filter bulletin."
"No, no, it's the oil filter O-rings"
"O-rings for what?"
"The oil filter Christian."
"Yeah, yeah that's right Darren."
"It's Dave!"
"Who's Dave?"
"I am... what's the deal with the oil filter O-ring bulletin info...do I need to replace or inspect?"
"Well Derrick, there are NO O-rings on air filters, so you have nothing to worry about... glad I could help, please leave a positive review on an e-mail we'll be sending."
"Uh............. Christian.......... ?"
"Yes Dan?"
"Dan...? ... it's Dave....!!!!!!!!"

But seriously, this is what was said:

"I misspoke, when I told you there was a bulletin, there was actually a hand-written note in the parts catalog since there was now two separate part numbers. The lead tech wrote replace if necessary."

I specifically asked if there was anything from Ford stating that the O-rings can be re-used if not damaged... he indicated NO, their "thought" was that there was two separate part numbers now, that is what they would do.

BLIND LEADING THE BLIND.

And I'm taking my Shelby here... at least the Ford Performance mechanic has his head on straight and was not involved in this silliness.

BUY O-RINGS WITH YOUR FILTER FOLKS....!!!!!

??.Ford Performance has mechanics working in dealerships??? Are you sure about that?

The dealer only has one mechanic who was reportedly trained to work on the Shelbys… I didn’t know what else to call him.

"A guy with a printed certificate with a snake on it" is probably more appropriate...

Success! Ordered yesterday morning and delivered within 24 hours; 2x filers and 2x dual O-ring packs overnighted (SoCal to Tampa Bay) for $117.73

My local service adviser couldn't "find" them last week, so big thank you to Tom and Don at South Bay Ford!

Mike,

Glad it worked out. You are a class act and glad I could help.

Called my dealer to see if they had an FL-2087 and they said they did. Next day I took the GT500 in for an annual warranty service. Receipt states they installed a Ford KR3Z-6A832-A. I received a new OEM Filter Cover complete with a new FL-2087 Filter!

I know that this has been mentioned before, but I thought I would share to help others broaden their search.

Filters are still available

Feel like I just won the lottery!

I personally wouldn't try something that isn't recommended - especially since it doesn't mention that we can use an equivalent filter in our cars. Since you're in CA, it shouldn't be hard to get an FL-2087 filter in a couple of days or less.

They continue to be available.

They also suggest to use also only motorcraft oil 5w20 for the mustang...
