Motorcraft FL1A. It fits just fine. If you have enough movement that you're hitting things with your oil filter, you need some engine mounts pretty bad.

I ran what is being echoed here FL1A always. I ran the K&N one a few times which had the nut on the end.

PL30001 Pure One Purolator. Fit's just fine, and it's the SAE number one rated filter for like 15 years running. The number 2 rated filter is the standard Pulolator L30001, which I run on all my other vehicles. I used to be able to get these unbranded for $1.88/piece, but I can't find them anymore.
