Trying to consolidate oil filters

I'm trying to streamline and minimize the amount of parts and materials I keep in my shop. I've noticed that several of my vehicles might/could use the same filter, but am having a hard time verifying fitment between them.
The vehicles are:
99 Ford Ranger 2.5L
98 Ford Ranger 4L
86 and 87 Suzuki Samurai 1.3L
94 Geo Metro XFI 1L( not the 1.3L)

I'm planning on keeping a 5,000 mile or 12 month OCI, whichever comes first, (but would consider running longer if there is a benefit). Using primarily clearance bought oils.

Recommendations as per filter size and brand that would fit all or most of the above mentioned vehicles would be sincerely appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

The 4.0 Ranger uses a HUGE filter (2/51515) but it might not fit on the other cars despite having the same thread. You may be able to use the smaller 3600/51516 on that Ranger, but if you do, at least use the long-life synthetic filters to make up for having less media than the OE size.

The Suzukis use a smaller 3614/51348, but there is probably enough room for the longer 3600/51516.
