Dear Toby and David,
Just to cloud the issue somewhat more, I use a Bosch 72137 (or equivalent
Crossland 2035) on my '69 2000 (U 20 engine). These filters have a 3 3/4"
diameter and 3 1/2" height (= about 2/3 qt volume). They fit comfortably
on the U-20 engine. By the way, they are standard for (my son's ) '85 Alfa
Spider, which has a 7 qt. oil sump capacity! They are hefty filters!!
Regards,
Teddy
