>Dave,
You can buy adapters for the spit oil filters, from TRF etc., that allow
you
to use standard filters from FRAM and so on. (since the originals got to be
such silly prices) People do this and then shops try to fit what SHOULD
fit and it does not. I'd say get back to square one, and buy an oil filter
and adpater from TRF and then you know where you're at. Keep the box the
filter comes is, as mine had a cross ref list to all kinds of filters and
you can show this to the shop doing your work.

Thanks for all the good info. It appears that this looks like the typical
filter application seen on every auto built in the US but there is a
wrinlkle: The filter is a bit special in that the reach of the adapter is
short and it takes a filter with a special profile to fit properly.
Alternate adapters are available for use with a more typical filter but
must be acquired aftermarket. Am I right so far?
