QCGoose Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hey everyone, not the most exciting intro post but I'm having a hard time finding this part online. I recently picked up a low-mileage '12 Fusion Sport FWD and just the other day noticed it's missing its splash guard underneath the oil filter, or the "oil filter door" as I've heard some call it.Upon searching for the part on FordParts.com, there's nothing of the sort listed for the 2012 Fusion, so I searched for 2011 and it brought up the "undercar shield", but it lists the part for every engine EXCEPT the 3.5L in my car.What's listed for the 2.5 and 3.0 is Part# 104B40A. But, even though it's the same part number for the 2.5 and 3.0, the prices are different, which leads me to believe they aren't identical parts and therefore if I ordered the one for the 3.0, it wouldn't be the same part I need for my 3.5 Sport. Does anyone know the correct part number for this item, and where it can be purchased? I'm assuming the dealer, but I'd like to try online first, and I assume the dealers use the same or similar parts fiche as FordParts.com.Also, it's missing the three bolts for that shield as well. Am I right to assume that all three bolts are Part# HB2? Here's the link to the diagram: http://www.fordparts.com/Commerce/PartDetail.aspx?n=8FZQZ50uWO7PAj3JH%2fYNMg%3d%3d&id=407545841&m=2&search=true&year=2011&make=Ford&model=Fusion (Note, this is for a 2011 3.0L, but it's the closest I was able to come to finding what I need.) Thanks in advance, Chris 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirtanon Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I'm in the same boat as you. Got everything but the door covering my oil filter. Been that way for close to 3 years and 50,000 miles now.. Let me know if you find one, because I haven't had any luck. On the plus side, not having the door doesn't seem to have resulted in any problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
propwash Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Have you checked for the corresponding part on a Lincoln MKZ? The MKZ uses the 3.5L engine, so I think there might be a good chance that this part should work on your Fusion with the 3.5. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCGoose Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) I'm in the same boat as you. Got everything but the door covering my oil filter. Been that way for close to 3 years and 50,000 miles now.. Let me know if you find one, because I haven't had any luck. On the plus side, not having the door doesn't seem to have resulted in any problems. Fordparts.com does list the piece for the 2.5 and the 3.0, so if you're wanting one you should be able to order one online or through your dealer. (I'm assuming your signature info with the 2.5L is accurate) Have you checked for the corresponding part on a Lincoln MKZ? The MKZ uses the 3.5L engine, so I think there might be a good chance that this part should work on your Fusion with the 3.5. I just checked the MKZ's parts lists and it was the same results as the Fusion: shields for the 2.5 and 3.0, but nothing regarding the 3.5. It's just puzzling. I sent a message to a dealer parts manager on another forum last night and am still awaiting his response.
