I've pretty much tried to stick with Motorcraft Oil Filters for my '21 Limited (FL-500S). For at least the last 6-8 months, I've been having a heck of a time finding them in stock anywhere. I do see them in stock at Amazon. I ordered one off of Amazon and that came to me with such lousy packaging that the filter was damaged in shipping so I won't be doing that again.
Finally, yesterday in Autozone, I asked about the supply shortage. The gal behind the counter said it's a nationwide thing because Ford had voluntarily recalled them for unknown reasons. Since I had not seen or heard of a Motorcraft recall, I thought I'd dig deeper. I can't find ANYTHING online anywhere about a recall. I'd like to give her the benefit of the doubt since she works in an autoparts store (industry insight?) but you'd think it would be posted somewhere.
Anyone else seeing supply issues? I'm east coast (MD). Any other insight?
