Whats the difference do higher psi systems use wider or longer shapes, most cars seem to have more regular shape but trucks have very wide or long ones or is it engine or manufacture based.Why are some oil filters really wide and some really tall?
Don't be fooled by wide or tall oil filters. You would think that an oil filter that's wider and taller would offer more filtration area. If you really want to know what's up cut them at the base with an oil filter cutting tool and measure the height and stretch out the filtration media. In a pinch measure the inside below the pressure relief spring.
In cars if clearance permits do a bit of cross referencing to find the tallest filter that fits in the space provided.
Racing oil filters usually have a thicker can and threaded base.
