I had a "git" one from Oberg.
It came with a "universal" adapter (akak threaded bushings that fit into the adapter).

The hoses constantly leaked.
The filter was a PITA (Oberg 5.5" Daytona) and leaked.

I gave up and changed over to a "one peice" adapter (I think a Ford one fits), and used AN fittings (Earls = $$$) and -10 hose and a industrial Oberg 6" filter.

Its MUCHO easier to clean the filter now (reusable).
It no longer leaks (AN works on military planes - sot it works on Toyotas).
It has a cleanable filter (better for the environment - less waste).

Im not sure it filters as fine as an OEM filter - but it has ALSO saved me in that I detected the timing chain cutting the TC cover via alum bits in the oil filter.

IMHO - if you are going to do this - do it with AN fittings and a one peice adapter...
