The larger oil filter has already been crossed by mobil and purolater. I had the guy at the parts store check for me. You can mistake the size difference because the new one is the size of a diesel engine filter.

I still have problem with sludge or something triggering my low oil sensor. I always check it and it's within range. I throw a oil cleaner bottle in their and it goes away.

I'm curious about this seafoam stuff as I have heard it does wonders. If you have sludge in your car and the seafoam frees it up, wouldn't you run the possibility of having that loosened sludge plug up a line somewhere and damage your internals?

Yeah, you would knock stuff loose if you put it in your oil, but that's why you'd want to change the oil and filter soon after you do it.

Also, what model oil filter do you use? The one I use is what AutoZone tells me. It's the Mobile1 for my car. It's HUGE. Do you have a model? I'll look for my model when I get home.
