When I got the wrong V6 filters from Imparts (which is *why* I know
so much about them now :-( ... ) I compared the OC154 with the OC47,
which I have a stack of in the garage for my two I5's. They sure
looked identical. I suspect they have a different valving pressure,
or bypass pressure or something. But mechanically, they are the same.
