Dholly got to ask the same question about your Purolator PureOne #PL14610 filter......what kind of volume of oil does it hold versus the stock oem filter? I do remember your earlier post, but hell if I'm going to search through your 2,000+ posts for it.

There are several M1 filters that will do. First, the M1-108 is the same size as the spec OEM filter (tiny, I call it the thimble filter). The M1-110 is the same diameter as the OEM and 108, but it's about half again taller, allowing for a larger filtration element. I prefer the 110 size, admittedly just because, since the stock size looks absurdly small to my eye. Candidly, I have no hard evidence which would prove that the stock filter is too small. You can also use a M1-105, whose height is somewhere between the 108 and 110, but it's
much wider than either the 108 or 110.
The Purolators are good, well made filters, but watch for one thing. In the "tall" size, the metal centertube does not extend the entire length of the filter. Look up the center opening on the bottom of the filter, and you'll see that the tube just ends about 3/4 inches before the top, leaving the filtration medium with nothing to support it. So, while I will happily use the Puro on my wife's Sequoia (centertube goes all the way up in this one), I won't for my G.
