Oh no! I didn't realize what I've done. Please ignore my previous post. Don't use the oversized filter I recommened. I did not realize the gasket difference was that extreme. I'm very sorry. I'll have to change my oil filter now that I've been made aware of the "0.032 DIFFERENCE".quote:

I don't know if the posters vehicle is still under warranty, but if it is, I wouldn't even use a filter that wasn't "recommended" by the filter maker. That means "oversize".
Lets face it, even the std. filter will do a fine job using "normal" OCI's.
What are you missing? Maybe the fact I didn't "recommend" what you say I did!quote:

Just kidding, Bill. But first you recommended an oversized fl400, then said not to use an oversized filter. What am I missing here?
