Just thought I would pass something I learned to the board.

Funny you mention that. My brother is a Volvo mechanic, and used to own an 83 240 turbo. He ended up getting a case of oil filters for it at work. I always take the filters and stick them on my truck, as they're significantly larger diameter than the stock ones.

my 22R, 1JZ, 2JZ, my brother's old B21, his new Saab B234, all share the same oil filter thread. I use Toyota V8 filters normally.

It's the same as most Fords too. V8 mustang filters screw on, and are massive.
