The Purolator PL 10241 is the SHORT STUBBY one. Anyway.. I am changing oil in my 2010 Tocoma 4 cylinder and was wondering if I could buy a TALL filter replacement. Doesn't need to be Purolator Brand. Any good filter OK by me. THANKS!!

Got it off. WOWEEE.. I'm a happy camper. Used claw type like you said. Boy was it on there tight. No lube on rubber gasket. One reason it may have been on there so tight, was because of the oil cooler. Notice that once I had filter off, the oil cooler unit is kinda loose. Not real loose, but...

As you can see, have lots of access. Tried using chisel/ hammer... no luck. Case is very thin. My best best is clamping on near neck. What are those 2 hoses? Cooler for something? I can remove the metal and purchase that tool in video or make my own? THANKS!!

Still having trouble. It has a NAPA 21372 filter that I am trying to get off. Original filter is Motorcraft FL-820S. Is this Napa the correct replacement? Thanks for all the help.

2011 E350 Ford Van with V10 Has a Napa Filter on it equivalent to Motorcraft FL820S. Tried filter wrench..no luck. Tried driving a screw driver thu filter..no luck. Just is bending the oil filter case real bad. Thanks

This the jack you are talking about? http://www.harborfreight.com/2-ton-compact-floor-jack-66725.html

Thanks for all the replies/ advise. I have a floor jack. Floor jack takes up too much room under car. I need a jack when changing oil on my car. Just needs to be jacked up enough to access oil filter + drain plug. All 4 wheels still on the ground I will use a block of wood as a jack stand. I...

I am looking for a shorty or low profile. Just for my autos, so doesn't need to be too many tons. Say a little over 6" tall. Whats a good brand? Where to buy? Thanks

Yea.. I saw that Ford Filter at Walmart. Would be interesting if some cut open the Mopar MO-899 and the Ford FL-8205 and compared the difference. Has anybody done it?

Thanks... will do

I am referring to Oil Filter Mopar MO-899. same as PH2. It is a large diameter, SHORT length. 22 mm threads. Engine is a 2008 Chrysler Sebring 2.7 liter Anyway to find a TALL FILTER that would work/ equivalent? Doesn't need to be MOPAR. I have the room. A Taller filter would be actually easier...

I am new here... so if this dumb or already been addressed..sorry. I see in the motor oil section, they have a poll for the "best" or "popular" motor oil. Do they have the same thing for filters? Whats the best brand to buy? Best constructed? Best filtering power? Thanks..

I purchased the Mopar MO-899 at Walmart as suggested and yup... it was only $5.44. I am sure this is the stock filter since it had the numbers 04884899AB on the side of it, which matched my owners manual. I was also surprised to see stamped on the face of the plate that screws up to the engine...

I went to that wixfilters.com site. It equivalent to Wix 57502 and has the 22 x 1.5 MM threads. Since I am new to this site, what filters do you guys recommend? I don't mind spending 10 bucks or more on a filter.

Well... I pulled the filter. Definitively is the small diameter filter. 3" dia x 3 3/4" tall. It is a Performax PO-173 (Sopus Products, Houston, TX) Made in USA Never heard of that brand. Anybody heard of it? Must be from one of the oil change outfits. Any idea which one? Would a Chrysler...
