I glad oil filters came up. I've been using Fram PH922A and not had any
problems. I wanted to switch ( in part because no one around here carries that
one and I have to special order it) but when they did the cross over, specified
filters in other brands had too large a diameter threads. The PH922A has a
smaller than usual diameter.
Is this an issue others have encountered.
I'll check out some of the filters mentioned in this thread.
