oil filters - here's a list

[Craig D. Niederst]

You may want to have a look here:

http://www.mann-hummel.com/englisch/mannfilter/katalog/s866pg00.hbs

Its the Mann online filter application catalog. According to their
information, the 2.3 engine in the 90 series (NG code) made from 4/87-7/91
uses the 719/5 filter (the cheap one that fits just about all 5 cyls). One
thing I found our from this page is that appears that I have been using the
wrong filter on my '92 100S. Every parts order house I have ever dealt with
specs the Mann 719/25 filter as their version of the OEM filter for early
V6s (AAH code) and 5cyl 20V applications. But this application guide shows
the 719/30 as the right one. So there appear to be discrepancies everywhere
on filter applications.
