I finally ran out of the PT oil filters I bought and saw that a (PT Forum) recommended alternative was the NAPA 1759 filter. Got one & it looks exactly the same. Since there is no reference to micron size, I can only assume it is the same.
I did notice that the NAPA gasket is larger than the groove in the filter head so I reused the old gasket. No leaks.
Now, I paid about $15 - $18 for the NAPA filter and it was in stock locally. Does anyone know of a source for filter gaskets that would fit? I've never seen such an after market part. (Another reason to use PT Parts?)
Also, I've found that I can put the filter on dry and use a funnel w/ a plastic hose to squeeze into the space on top of the filter & fill the filter with oil. This worked a lot easier for me as I didn't have to contend with trying to thread the filter on with all the oil weight.
The PT Forum is a great source for tips & tricks, Thanks.
