Ok sorry folks I had to jump in a meeting really quick and wanted to put out an urgent warning before anyone bought the plastic insert FL2087A filters. They are supposed to be a replacement for the GT350 OEM filter. They contain a plastic insert that will stand up to the pressure of the GT350 BUT NOT the pressure of the GT500. The FL2087 is the correct one.

There have been several dealers who used the wrong filter and caused damage to the engine.
Ford sent out an internal bulletin to All Ford Dealer service centers about the problem.

I hadn’t seen the cap-less filter yet but They use to look like this before the part number change.

I am still waiting for a reply from Ford on the Raptor R 5.2 to see which filter it’s supposed to be using. I suspect that with the detuning it might be using the FL2087A.

Here’s what a GT500 does to a GT350 plastic core filter with the caps holding it together.

ALWAYS use the metal core FL2087 filter. I suspect that the caps being removed would cause the filter to fail and break apart causing plastic to be sucked into the crank case. That would be catastrophic.

After reading this chain regarding oil filter Crush I contacted Shelby America directly I was concerned about my GT500 that I readily use for track only
They stand by their filters they've seen this in their performance builds Crush metal or plastic they resolve the issue by redesigning and switching to a Billet type housing instead of the stock housing this apparently eliminated the problem we are seeing, They were confident in using new filter A prefix with plastic liner Along with a new Billet type housing if you want the part number reply
or call Shelby America Parts directly the outer casings approximately $170.00
So Drive hard and fast with confidence again

So a bunch of us bought the MMR before Shelby started selling their version. Not sure how it would stop a filter collapse but hey if it makes you feel better.
