best bet is to get the oil filter checked against your vin number

I have a 97 MPi and the oil filter I first bought the first time I changed it did not fit. The treads are completely different.

I now have the correct part number I order all the time, but check it before you wreck ur old one

Yeh, both filters look identical until you check the spin on thread and find the SPi is a slightly smaller diameter !!

How do I know, you guessed it, I bought the wrong one first time and didn't discover this until I tried to fit it, bugga !!!
