Default Oil filter housings come in two different sizes!

Ryco have a number, R4 for the element in the car filter.
However, good luck asking some young bloke at Supercheap to find it.

The Wix element and your original would not fit in the oil "cannister" that I have on my truck. They are too long.
Tony,

I found the filter housing on my F15A also has a slighty different size. I looked long and hard to find a matching filter - see http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...805#post242805

While it stands 23 mm smaller at 110 mm, the diameter of 98 mm is a good match (2 mm larger). The center tube is 1.5 mm too large at 14 mm (although they all seem to be around the 0.55" mark), but I minimized seepage with a couple of rings.
