I'm putting this here in the off topics section because it is not about rat rods, more of a rant.
(Note: I don't want to percipatate a big discussion of one brand over another, either.)
Just this: Why do they designate the same oil filter for my Dodge Grand Caravan V6 4.0L as they do for our Dodge Journey 4 banger 2.4L? Seems really crazy to me. I generally try to find a filter with the same diameter, threads, and gasket size, only longer, for larger capacity (if there's room for it). I figure the more media surface area there is, the better. (Before oil starts to go through the by-pass valve.)
I could have posted this on the Dodge Journe site, or the Chrysler Min-van site, but those guys are generally not real motor heads, and most just say you better go by the book. What do you'all say?
