Motorcraft Oil Filter Question for 2.3 Ecoboost

[2024S650]

Has anyone had their Oil Filter changed or changed themselves? The owners manual calls for a FL-2127 which I cannot find locally. I have not contacted the dealer, they were closed when I started trying to find one.

There is a lot of conflicting info online stating a FL400, FL500, or FL910 would or would not work but Im not one to chance sticking something else on.

Thanks.

My manual says FL500, for a DH.

Thanks for the feedback, Ive got one of those from my old GT but Im not sure if it will fit the 2.3, I was hoping to hear from someone who has changed the oil or taken it to be changed at the dealer and has an invoice. I posted this in the 2.3 section but will change the Thread title as like me Im sure most don't realize the forum section.

Yes, for a 5.0 the FL500S is prescribed. 2.3 takes a FL2127

They are available on RockAuto.

Im guessing the local dealer will have a FL2127, was just wondering if like most FL’s theres another option that may be a little longer etc. Thanks for the replies.

I changed my Ecoboost oil a week ago and used the FL-2127 filter. I got it from my local dealer... something like $8. I have read that the FL-500 will fit, but I have to beleive that there is a reason that Ford specified the 2127. Something must be different besides physical size (the 500s is longer).

I used the larger 500s one on my old ecoboost, i think its just a bigger and maybe better filter? but it fits and you can use it. more capacity in the filter is usually my preference on all my cars and bikes. I find my oil doesn't stay nice for long on my motorbike when im using the stock yamaha small filter. When i go to the K&N larger 50% larger, filter it seems to keep oil nicer for a thousand or so miles longer.
