I do appreciate all the work that went into the original post. It does have a disclaimer on filter lengths, etc. And I certainly can appreciate that you only wish to post data you personally have verified. That said, in some cases the data is no longer correct, and your emphasis on members checking back for the latest info as you update sounds great, except when it's not updated. The automotive oil filters in the 2.5" length have all or nearly all been changed by the manufacturers to 3" lengths, which don't fit some skid plates. Specifically, the Purolater 14612 which used to be 2.5". Not to mention the concave Vs convex issue at the threads that have recently been discovered, which prevents many auto filters from sealing properly.
Measuring an oil filter is not rocket science. I would think that if a forum member went to the effort to measure a filter and supply that info to you in the thread, it would be useful to add it or correct the existing info to current data. The 2000 character limit just means that some trimming is necessary if you, the OP, wish to add or alter data.
Thanks for your efforts Dallara. More people than you may realize still use that page.
