2016 2.7 oil filter - hard to find
More of just a bitching post. Wal-Mart, Meijer, and even Auto-zone had no selection. 4 places to find an oil fiter. I think I'm going to order on Amazon.
Even trying to look for different models, there's only the base models. Mobil1 doesn't even have a filter. During year 1, not real surprised. But it's almost 2018 and still limited selection.

Which filter is it? Is it different than the Gen 2 3.5L Ecoboost?
I usually do all my own oil changes, but I have a free oil change coupon from the purchase of my truck, so figured I use that for the first one.... maybe hit that in Febuary or March...

Don't you have a Ford/NAPA dealer near you to buy Motorcraft/WIX filters?
Online sources also include Rock Auto & Ebay.
Just a heads-up. Since the 2.7 filter is nothing more than a filter media & core, any reputable brand is likely to be comparable to its competitor, i.e. the mechanical components of a spin-on filter brand that you may prefer are absent in the 2.7 cartridge filter (they are built into the engine). I commonly interchange between OEM & WIX with Motorcraft being only $6.12 at my Ford dealer.

I just bought 12 Motorcraft FL2062 filters for the 2.7 from Rock Auto...4.95 each plus shipping of 6.99 for the lot. Total cost = 66.39

I just ordered 2 Motorcraft from Amazon. Just frustrating when you go to get the materials one day with plans to change it the next and can't find a filter.
