My '93 D150 takes the shorter Mopar filter with the full size base. But... assuming the full size filter fits (it does), is there any disadvantage to using the full size filter and just order one part number?

I use Purolator L30001 on everything (Hemi, 440, 225) except my Neon which gets the L20081 because the L3001 hangs down below the oil pan.

Do you have a cross reference for Napa Gold filters for the Wix 51515 and Wix 51773? Ask me my opinion of Frank Mitchell....... A Mopar crook!

I am using dual remote filters and am waiting on my Brad Penn 10 W 30 oil. The filters cost $10.50 a piece at Napa. Thanks for the info and cross reference chart.
