oil filter ? (not the usual)
I went to autozone today to get the stuff to change my oil.
I usualy only use Mobil 1 for both.
when looking for the filter M1-202 I couldnt find it or the tag on the shelf for it.
I went up to the counter and asked about it so the guy looked it up and gave me the new number for it. I go back pick it up and this filter is only half the size it should be(its shorter).
Needless to say I didnt get it and decided to give K&N a second try.
maybe one of you all could shed some light on why Mobil would change the size of the filter for SBC engines. I always hear about people using slightly bigger(taller) filters not smaller.
It makes no sence to me as the M1-202 filter was popular and many times autozone would run out of stock.
