    I might be interested in using the "larger than stock oil" filter on my 2008 Prius. Seems to be pretty popular on this forum because of the larger surface area of filtration.

    What would be the model number on a Mobil 1 "larger than stock"?

    I run the Mobil 1 filter on my Prius. I have since my first oil change. I don't recall the Mobil 1 being any larger than stock.... unless there's another filter that's the same size diameter (and threads) made for another application that will also fit the Prius?

    That's exactly what I mean.
