Good question I would like to know also How hard it is
Thanks Bob, will be interested to see which filter mine comes with...if I'm understanding correctly it should be the canister type (build date of 9/12/17). I'll post once it arrives.I posted on the GT350 group on FB so if I get a response there I'll post it here as well.
Awesome let us know how it goes.Yes, it should be a canister type. BTW, I ordered the conversion kit from JEGs this morning. $419.99. Ford Performance told me that they will likely not ship until the end of October. Then to Ford to get it installed.
Ouch, sorry to see the expense...would have thought it was less that that!!Yes, it should be a canister type. BTW, I ordered the conversion kit from JEGs this morning. $419.99. Ford Performance told me that they will likely not ship until the end of October. Then to Ford to get it installed.
Hey Bob, I've read about Ford sending out the oil filter wrench to new GT 350 owners, was this for the prior or current filter removal? Just wondering if I should be expecting anything?I think you might be able to find it for a few bucks less if you look around although not everyone is carrying it yet.
Thx Bob for the confirmation, what I thought but wasn't certain. I did see the you tube vid so s/b good to go!It was for the spin on filter. The canister needs a 1 1/16 socket, if memory serves me correctly. FYI, I saw a video on how to change the canister filter on you tube.
I believe that the supplemental information from Ford says that under track use, sustained high RPM, the spin on filters can loosen even if they are initially torqued properly. So the need to periodically check. Additionally if someone else does the installation you're left to wonder if they torqued the filter correctly. For me the bottom line is I just don't need the worry of getting stranded along some country road by a blown motor.There isn't any thing wrong with the spin on oil filter as long as it is torqued to specifications and you oil the gasket on installation just like the owners supplement says to do (not put on dry like one fool was telling every one the manual said to do)
If Ford does a recall at some point then people who have already paid for the conversion will likely be reimbursed. That's how most recalls work.I think anyone with a Spin on filter should politic Ford for a Canister Replacement. If spin on’s are indeed loosening under engine vibration (why Ford sent the wrench...) and probably changed production to Canister type, I think Ford should contribute?
