[AT] Oil Filters: was Auto parts guys

[Brad Gunnells]

For filters I've been happy with Wix but I'll often use others. Their  
web site however is pretty helpful for filter specifics. You can put  
in some pretty obscure stuff and it will bring up a part number. You  
can get detailed specs also. It will also cross reference other  
brands. The only thing I wish I could do is put in dimensions and  
have it bring up a list of part numbers that match. For example I  
used a PH8A (Ford truck filter) on my 318 Dodge as it's the same  
thread and seal size but the Ford filter is larger. It would be nice  
if I could spec the thread and gasket and other details to find  
potential matches.
