avidShelby Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 That's what is says on page 19 of the 2008 Shelby Performance Parts Catalog... We've discussed this topic before and the general consensus was that no one actually received a Ford Racing Oil Filter on their SGT, in other words, the Ford Racing Oil Filter wasn't original equipment. So why would SPP say that it was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 They say it - but it is a false statement. I will assume they are misinformed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reino Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 My guess is they either got a discount on the kit or they have 7000+ Ford Racing Oil Filters laying around the shop cause they didnt want to change the oil on each car (and have to charge us another $500 for the oil). Id be inclined to go with #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why would SPP say that it was? My guess is the person that wrote this at Scott Drake, or their catalog contractor, took the FFRP package description and went with it vs. what is actually installed in the car or provided by Ford to SAI. That said I do use them on my car, which I suspect has some small benefit, but I admit for me is more for looks. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shel-b001 Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 All these cars started out as G.T Mustangs & unless SAI changed the filter to the Ford racing filter they would all have the regular Ford filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avidShelby Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Front Royal, work in Fairfax though so I know just how beautiful Springfield is. Hmmmm... Are you one of the guys in those snappy grey uniforms I see every once in awhile standing on the side of the road wearing a lime-green safety vest and pointing a laser speed-measuring device at my SGT?
