Re: Longer oil filter? (**** Finger)
I am sure there is, but you do not want it. The oil filter right now is slightly recessed under the bottom of the car. If you go any longer it will stick below the lowest point and be suceptable to damage/puncture. You are asking for trouble if you do this IMHO. Somtimes stock is that way for a good reason. If you use a good quality filter and change every 3000 miles or more you will never have a problem.

What he said ^ :yesnod:
I use the Amsoil SDF32 filter, which is about 1/2" longer and does not pose a clearance problem. I would NOT go longer. :sad: :eek:

The Amsoil SDF-32 is also the longest I am willing to go! The location just isn't right for anything longer. If you follow the recommended filter change interval, you should be fine! :cheers:
