It turns out this oil filter selection lark is a bit of a minefield for a newbie like me.
I went shopping for a 1978 Oldsmobile Toronado oil filter at Rock Auto and Rock Auto gave me this list to choose from:
(403 motor)
PRO-TEC 166
PUROLATOR L20123
CHAMP / LUBER-FINER PH59
BOSCH 3423
WIX 51045
HASTINGS / BALDWIN LF230 {#B30}
FRAM PH3675
FRAM PH3506
FRAM DG3429
FRAM TG3506
FRAM TG3675
ACDELCO UPF61R {#19391148}
MOBIL M1206A
BOSCH D3423
FRAM HP20
Normally I'd have gone with the Wix but I read something about it having no anti-return valve so bought the Bosch 3423 instead.
When it arrived it looked kinda skinny compared to the oil covered fatter one that was fitted to the engine so I'm thinking maybe I bought the wrong filter?
Do I need to buy another one?
