interchange of oil filters

[grannyknot]

Is there some list of interchangeability of oil filters?  I ask because the oil filter for my Subaru Outback has shrunk over the years, the current filter is smaller than the filter on my lawn tractor!  When I got the car ten yrs ago the oil filter was 3x as large, the photo is the current Subaru filter PH6607 next to the PH2 filter for my truck. Just looking for a decent sized filter that will fit.

Thanks,

Chris

Strangely enough the filter off of my old Lincoln MKX is the same size thread and o ring but significantly smaller. I put it on the engine for the “break-in” oil that Is just sitting in there till I get the engine tuned. PH3600 (yes cheap Fram filter) I have a Napa Gold to go on the finished engine.

Based on some prior super-secret discussions with @wheee!, I'm running a Denso 150-2066. I've switched pretty much everything over to Denso now.

The research I’ve done for my other cars is the Wixx makes the best filters (same a Napa Gold). Someone on YouTube cut most of the main brands open and Wixx was consistently the best made with the best filter. Fram was by far the worst. Bosch and tested as average.
