Oil filter catalogue listing threads and diameter of sealing ring?
I need to find a catalogue of oil filters that lists each by its spin on thread and the diameter of the sealing ring.
I am trying to find out if there is a shorter filter available which would fit a volvo T5 filter head. I know going smaller is bad in theory but if I
change it regularly (every 2 or whatever) it should be fine.
Even a gain of 10mm would be worth having

I cant find a way to list filters like youd get in for instance a clutch catalogue tho. Going to be a long day searching thru all the filter part
numbers one by one!

ok, found the Australian company Ryco who let me search by seal diameter and thread.
http://www.rycofilters.com.au/catalogue/dimension
only one was shorter than the standard T5 filter (85.6mm) which was Z314 at 62mm
Rtcos site was then a little useless, but going back tot he Wix site I coul cross reference that number with the equivalent Wix filter and then look
up applications which gave me Renault (68-84) and lotus europa (Part number 51335)

Should allow me to remove an extra inch off the sump and drop the engine by the same.
The only possible issue is the by pass valve pressure on the renault filter is the bypass pressure is only around half what the T5 filter is. I assume
this will only become an issue as it gets clogged? (needs to be changed sooner)
Cheers

The relief valve pressure could be a bit of a problem. it could well be that the Volvo system pressure is a bit higher than the Renault so that the
filter will by- pass after a very few running hours.
It should be possible to fit a dummy filter head and pipes to give you a remote screw on filter ?

If you speak to one of the big after market suppliers like Baldwin filters in the States they may be able to guide you.
Baldwins are mainly industrial engine filter suppliers but worth a go.
