OOOOKAAAYYYY somebody somewhere is smoking crack.

I think on the box for the K&N which I have been using on two different cars, it crossrefs the correct fram oil filter for our cars. That is what you look at. More research??? OK. Take and crossref the fram back to the motorcraft.

It seems to work....Dunno why K&N would make a statement like they did. Again goes to the statement...the car is no longer in production so......

Any hooo.

Like I said two cars, one a 2.3 mustang with the PH8A filter refferenced to the K&N (believe it or not, the PH8A also fit my 67 Chrysler 383 engine) and the same goes for the Mystique.

I think you will be fine laugh
