FSAE Michigan Real Case Cost

[Bcohen5055]

In the real case cost event for Michigan one of the 3 possible options is the oil filter. The materials table specifically states that "Engine cost includes tranmission (whether integral or not by design) and all components necessary to run including spark plugs, coils, wires, oil filter, etc."

Have any teams asked for clarification on this yet? I'm not sure if this is a question for the rules committee or if there is someone else who is in charge of cost.

Where did you find this? It's supposed to be listed on the official FSAE page but I can't see any updates after the Bosch one on April 12th.

It's listed in the student handbook:

I haven't asked any officials about it, but I figured that since the oil filter is included in the engine cost, I would treat it as a cost reduction of the engine part.
