2016’s used the spin on oil filter. This had rumors of loosening up, Ford changed it to a Canister style in 2017. The lack of the extra coolers (no track pack in a 2016) isn’t a problem if you don’t plan of any performance driving, but why buy the car if you don’t? This car is a performance car designed to track, no track no fun. I think shopping for a 2017 saves a lot of disappointment down the road. Ford just comitted to making the car til 2020, Deals should be able to be found out there ona 2017 or later, good luck.I know the basic differences - I think I can get the Technology package and get everything a 2017 has except for the diff and transmission coolers. My question could have been more clear. Does anyone know if there are any specific problems between the 2016s and 2017+s? Also, how big a deal is the lack of the extra coolers if you are not tracking often or at all?

Thanks, Johnny!Have a 2017 with spin on filter. Filter will not loosen if gasket oiled and torqued to proper specs.
post a pic?..Thanks, all.
As an update, I bought a new '18 with convenience package for a couple grand more than what my dealer wanted for a 2016.
