Finally had to add a bit of oil

Well, I run a Mobil One M1-105, which I BELIEVE is a bit bigger; been running that filter for so long that I don't remember what the "stock" filter looks like...

Start at post #18. In this thread Ganz, you mentioned you were using the longer 105 filter. Some discussion in that thread, but no real comments on whether it's good/better to use that longer filter.
Oh and you also mentioned the harmonic balancer, and the 105 still fits.
