drew;

i saw your mention of geno's, what about fram filters, we don't have access to a gino's up here in kanada, i was reading the fram site and they appear to be a good replacement filter, i've used them for years on everything else i own.

dont use fram. . .the internals arent as strong as they should be and cave in under the 60psi the oil pump creates. fram filters are good for everything else, and I use them on my little toyota.

Geno's is just a warehouse, hit them up online, they will ship you what you need, may take a little longer due to international shipping. http://www.genosgarage.com

if you need a filter in a pinch, go to napa and find either their gold series, or a Wix filter, they are just as good.
