That's what I get. Cut a hole in the top big enough to get one filter out, set it on edge on the shelf, and I have a filter dispenser.

I used to have a Ford van (351) that used the same filter. Between a few 4.0s and the family van, we went through quite a few.

I'm fortunate that the 1085 filters fit both my Alfa Romeos, a 90 Comanche, and a 98 Grand Cherokee!!!

The photos online do not do it justice, look at the actual measurements of it with a tape in front of you and you will realize this filter is almost the size of a newborn baby

NAPA oil filter sales are a good thing to watch for. The las one locally afforded me the opportunity to get 36 1515 NAPA Gold filters at $3.60 each.

hot dang... finally found a place that carries the Wix I like to use... mainly because they are not as expensive as other options and always do the trick on the old XJ

That is what I was trying to tell you guys.
Seems like I haven't seen the Gold Filter Sale lately but when we do have it you can't beat it.
Our customers stock up.
Some of those big *** air filters, the boxes they come in are 3' high and probably a foot wide and deep, that they use are super expensive.
The sale rolls around and they stock up on those things.
I would have to go into my files but thinking the 1085's that I use are about the same price as the 1515's that cpttuna posted.
And it is less then I pay with my discount.
I don't buy 36 of them, cause the way I drive that would be enough filters for 18 years (LOL), but will grab at least 6.
