GT Oil Filter part # number?

[Carter1776]

I went to buy an oil filter for my 2024 GT first oil change, and the parts store doesn't have the 2024 part number in their system. Does anyone know what part number the oil filter is??

I found it in the owners manual, FL-500-S Motorcraft.

Should be in the owners manual in the dash. Just search "oil" and it should show up. The FL2127 is a new number I had to order some from my dealer for my Escape. It is like the FL910 but has metric threads like the FL500

See pic, thanks for the help though.

I'm wondering why it's showing that one the ford parts website but the manual has the fl500s. I'm about to do the change so we will see if this one fits, I imagine it will. I'll come back and confirm in a little bit.

Ok I can confirm that the FL-500-S oil filter fits good. It is a little longer than the stock filter but that's no issue at all.

I can also confirm the oil pan is metal with a metal oil drain plug.

You'll need a 15mm socket for the drain plug and you will need a 9/32 socket for the 12 ish small bolts holding the splash shield on. The oil filter can't be reached without taking it off. There is no access door to get to the oil filter like previous years.

I added 2 bottle of Ceratec to my full synthetic 10qts, since 1 bottle treats 5qts. All went smooth just plan on a little more time to take the shield off.

What is Ceratec and wouldn't that be overfilling the oiling system if it already had 10 quarts in it? Did you use jack stands and where all did you put them or did you have it on a lift instead?

Ceratec is an oil additive, a ceramic based additive that’ll essentially “fill” and repair any scratches or bedding issues within your engine. The wording isn’t great but look it up, it’s highly recommended by a lot of people to add with every oil change to keep the engine healthy.

for 1 bottle it equals .3 qts of liquid, so .6 qtsis what I added. It is directed to add to the full amount of oil, not to use it as a substitute for the amount being added. .6qts over recommended amount will not hurt anything.

I used jack stands and a jack. I put the jack stands at the furthest forward point of the pinch welds on each side of the car, the stands were not on the punch welds themselves but on the inside edge of the subframe. How I always did it with my S550, never had any issues with it that way.

CeraTec is a high-tech ceramic wear protection product for all motor oils.

From the manufacturer, Liqui Moly:

CeraTec reduces friction and wear due to ceramic compounds that withstand extremely high chemical and thermal loads.
Prevents direct metal-to-metal contact, thus increasing the engine service life.
The low-friction effect reduces fuel consumption in gasoline and diesel engines.
CeraTec provides wear protection for engines, transmissions, pumps, and compressors.

Owners manual is your freind! First place I go for answers.

What did you use to get the oil filter off? All I have right now is one of those old wrap around style filter wrenches with the thin metal band. Is that what you used or did you use a cup style filter wrench of a certain size? Any special swivels or extensions involved?

I used the crab claw looking oil wrench but I'm sure yours will work fine. No extensions needed, just the sockets I listed and a snap clip removal tool if you have one, there are 4 alongside the screws I listed holding the splash shield on

Cool, I do have a panel clip removal tool. Were you able to reuse the clips or did you have to buy new ones?
