[AT] Briggs filter substitute.

[Brad Gunnells]

Farmer points out some good information here. You'll also notice the  
NAPA and WIX numbers are generally the same. The leading number on  
the WIX must indicate type (5 being oil etc.)?

The WIX web site is very good. http://www.wixfilters.com

Here you can cross reference other brands or search by type. One very  
handy thing is that you can get the most common application and full  
product spec. This should be considered when you look put a different  
filter type on an engine. I heard GM changed to a anti-drain back  
type because of concerns of engine knock on start up. (Not sure how  
factual that is but used as an example) It will show the gasket size,  
micro rating, burst pressure, media type, and many other details you  
may or may not need to know.

Just my .02 but I find the site useful.
