So a few weeks ago I went into a local Ford dealership to burn up my remaining Ford Pass points and decided to get a few oil filters. The parts guy came out with 3 FL-2121-B12 filters instead of the usual FL-500S I’ve always used and told me the FL-500S had been discontinued and this was the new part number/filter. I called around and none of the other dealerships in my area said the same thing, they actually said that had tons in stock. After doing some digging around on the mustang forum I came across this thread https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/is-the-parts-guy-at-my-local-ford-dealer-an-idiot.183798/
I also came across this chart on that thread that shows it as being compatible https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/attachments/oep-pdf.725003/
Just curious if anyone else has ran this filter yet? I know there’s multiple Ford vehicles that spec the FL-500S so this is more encompassing than just the Mustang forum. I have no issues at all running it and plan to use the three I picked up for my next few OCI’s. However, the FL-500S is easily findable at all auto parts stores and even back on the shelves at Walmart after a year or so hiatus (surprise). Just a weird encounter is all.
