There isn't another filter you can slap on that's bigger. There's only a
smaller filter. I work at valvoline and there are 2 filters for Dodges. a
VO-25 which is for smaller 4 cylinders and a VO45 which is the normal on
EVERY "big" engine has..

<< I like the idea of using a bigger filter, but the more I think about it
the more I realize how little I know about oil pressure. So, I'm
wondering if using a bigger filter could adversely effect the oil
pressure, since you are now creating additional area in the system
compared to what space the oil was designed to run through ? If the
answer is to run the engine after you have placed the bigger oil filter
on, stop the engine, let the oil settle, then check the oil level and
fill to the proper level to compensate for the bigger filter, can that
create a problem if the system is only designed to move a certain volume
of oil through the engine ? Is there such a slight difference in the
volume difference between the regular size filter and the larger one that
such questions really don't matter ? As long as there is sufficient oil
in the engine does oil pressure even matter ? >>
