The filter was 7-8" long and would take almost 2 qt of oil which would add a little more oil reserve to the motor.
I sure like to find a extra big filter for my 318 as there is plenty of room for length ,fact is it would make it better to grab on and off.
Should check if the filter from the 5.9 gas or diesel would fit. The filter for my 5.9 diesel is massive.
