EDIT 1/6/2019
After posting this same information on another forum it has been stated that Ford fits a smaller filter (to save money) to all LHD and RHD S550 Mustangs, and then this filter is replaced by a larger Motorcraft service filter - FL-500S at the first service.
As other replies on both forums indicate that the larger filter is definitely in place on some already serviced vehicles, and others have been able to fit this larger filter without any issues, then I suggest going with the larger FL-500S filter.
The other equivalents, as quoted by SuperCheapAuto and Repco are:
- Ryco Z928
- K&N PS-2011 or HP-2011
But note that the Ford Motorcraft FL-500S appears to be the cheapest alternative when sourced from the dealership parts dept. at less than $10 each.

Hi everyone,
Just thought I’d shared the trials I encountered this weekend while trying to do my own oil change on the 2017 Mustang GT.
The oil filter for a Right Hand Drive (RHD) Mustang GT is NOT the Ryco Z928 that SuperCheapAuto, Repco etc. will tell you by using their lookup systems. This is the LHD US version and is longer than the RHD version.
The oil filter for RHD is shorter and is actually a Ryco Z663 or Mobil 1 M1-113 (this is the actually the same filter as used by HSV Commodores - 6.0 and 6.2 from about 2006 onwards).
I hope that helps somebody.
Cheers
Shane
