WIX makes the filters for NAPA. The WIX number is 51516. When the package for NAPA they drop the first 5. WIX makes a good filter. The NAPA 1516 fits many applications including some diesels. The specs can be found at the link below. Type in 51516 in WIX part # and follow all applications.

<font color="blue"> I referenced back the 1516 oil filter on the NAPA sight and it is for a 2001 Ford Ranger 2.5 4 cyl. I hope this helps some other TS354C owners so they may be able to purchase another brand if desired or if there is no local NAPA store.

Hey Michael,

I learned long ago, when it comes to oil filters, to stay with OEM, for as long as I can get them. They are made to fit and are recommended by the Engine Manufacturer. That goes for fuel filters as well. Not only do you have to worry about fit, but also the proper back pressure and filtering capacity, that a different filter will be.

I go by the Old Golden Rule, "If It Ain't Broke, Then Don't Try To Fix It".

I use all OEM Filters, Oil, Fuel and Air. I get mine from JinmaParts.com, and never have to leave the house. I'm sure that there is an OEM supplier for you as well.

If or When, there comes a time, that we cannot get them, then that will be another matter, and at that time, will require a FIX.

I'm not saying that the Crossover Filters are bad, but I am saying that it is extra unnessary time and work to find a filter that will fit, or to customise a fiting so that a crossover filter will fit and then risking how the crossover filter will affect the engines lubrication system. Then on top of that, when or if the new owner comes along and tries to put on the OEM filter, it may or may not fit, because of modifications made.

Just my humble opinion.

Have a nice day,
