AgentIan Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Isn't the OEM 2010 filter a dry element, while the FRPP is oiled? They did not mention it to me if it is, or if it needs any special maintenance compared to the std filter. Although I do not know for sure, I do not think that there is any difference in the care routine between the two - the Ford Racing filter looked to me like more or less the same filter material (gloss, feel, consistency etc), but in a more robust designed housing - and of course it was a different color. I believe that it is the std filter from the KR, and as such I do not think that it needs any special oiling beyond it's normal service life (perhaps a KR owner could confirm?) Anyway, I wouldn't worry about it, I have had oiled cone K&N's before on other cars, and I usually replaced then before needing to have them re-oiled. From memory I think that they usually last 50-100K without re-oiling anyway - notwithstanding any heavy off-roading that is Megs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2010KonaBlueGT Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Anyone know about this? If it's a paper filter it doesn't use oil. If it's a cotton filter (e.g. K&N style), it does. Easy way to tell is if it has a screen on the filter element. Cotton filters have screen, paper filters don't. And DO NOT oil a paper filter.

Chris Chris, Did you have to pay for it and order it yourself? Or did the dealer order it for you based on the problems they'd been having locating a replacement for your standard filter?

ProntoTonto Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Chris,Did you have to pay for it and order it yourself? Or did the dealer order it for you based on the problems they'd been having locating a replacement for your standard filter? Megs I ordered it myself. I'm so frustated with this dealer. I have one other issue in that one of my rims was damaged on delivery. Took about 5 weeks for them to get it for me. They tried to get Ford to pay for it under warranty first, then the transport company, and then finally new car sales paid for it and ordered it. Well the rim is supposed to be in. I made an appointment last Sat (and btw I live an 1 1/2 hr. drive from the delear) to drop the car off at the dealer. The SA then calls me an hour later on my cell and tells me that the tool they need to change the rim to prevent it from being scratched is at their other dealership but now it is too close to closing time to get it over to their dealership. I could bring the car back during next week. Well, today I call and ask if they have the needed tool and could bring the car in again. The SA then tells me that "the guy that has the tool won't be in until Monday". WTH!!! So now this that long story turned into a long story, you can see why I am so frustated.

6-Speed Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 BOI offers the FR M9601D filter for $49.95 + shipping. I didn't know they fit the 2010s. http://www.blueovalindustries.com/products.php?pid=99013721 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My selling dealer was awful. Luckily I have found another dealer with a great advisor, mechanic, and foreman. I have to hook these guys up somehow.

tispco Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Wow! Disappointing the run around by both your dealer and Ford. That paper filter along with the rest of the 2010 GT500 is all Ford parts. Shelby has nothing to do with the parts or distribution. Customer service should have known that. Even the Shelby's that go to Vegas (KR, SGT, GT-H), use mostly Ford Racing parts (including air filters), which is STILL Ford. Ridiculous. As an earlier poster mentioned, that blue Ford Racing filter looks like an oiled cotton filter. If it has wire mesh, it is. They can be re-oiled and will last much longer than the original paper filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
