I run a bosch 3500 filter for a ford v8. It's a larger filter, larger element, holds more oil, etc. Obviously, you can get this size filter for any brand. The only downside is that I have to disco the battery when installing since you run the risk of touching the starter terminals.

ive been investigating this myself... apparently there are 3 necks of concern.... let me know if im wrong
**-90 - metric thread, 90degree neck, oem
91-92 - 3/4 thread, 90degree neck, ford filter compatable, original renix orientation... no need to worry about hitting the starter, it isnt even close...
92-?? - these are the ones that fit a ford filter, but put the filter downwards towards the starter....
just fyi for those considering a beefier filter
