    No -- but the US-based F parts suppliers (RA, TRutlands, AFP, etc.) aren't horrible on price for the big UFI.

    I used to sell WIX products and when i bought my first Ferrari i went to my old buds at Wix and nope they don't make anything. Wix is the largest producer of these type of products whether it is for a Caterpillar or a Simca--but no F-cars. Balwin makes some for earlier cars but not the Testarossa.

    What are they now, like 20 bucks?

    I keep one as a spare in case they stop making them altogether.
    I wonder if the lack of aftermarket replacements has something to do with the requirements of a dry sump system, or if it is simply low demand.

    Thanks guys. I figured my extensive search was in vane. I have noticed several issues on the Testarossa that I will discuss in future posts, but thanks again for the quick reply.

    Yes, it is an enormous filter!! And it would always arrive in Connecticut in about a day or two back when I ordered them from RICAMBIAMERICA :)

    Oh, and don't forget about those two crush washers!! One for the reservoir drain plug and one for the bottom of the engine drain plug. I know RICAMBI has those as well :cool:

    Jeez, Ken, I haven't seen one of those in over 30 years. Do they still make them?

    JC Whitney used to sell them.
