Default Bigger oil filter

In case anyone was wondering. The wix 51773/napa 1773 and AmsoilEao-26-ea all fit the 02-05 Hemi's.
They add about 1.5 quarts of oil capacity.

I use oversized filters. 1.5 more quarts? I doubt it.

Thanks for the info. I like to find a cross reference for those filters for M1, KandN etc.
