a con may be it costs a little bit more money (im assuming)

There isn't much difference in the price for the K & N filter. I think the stock size is a # 1001, the longer one used for a blazer is a # 2001.

The supertech I get is the same price either way last time I checked. (it's a champion filter)

Re: longer oil filter question..

I put the longer one on my car a couple of weeks ago because the shorter one was not available. It works fine. I use the Frams from Walmart. I know some people think they are no good, but my cars have gotten very high mileage using those filters.

The con(s) are, if you break a motor mount the front sway bar is going to rip the oil filter off.

btw, it does cost more for a bigger filter the 1001 k&n which i buy usually is about 12 $, and the large 2001 is about 15$
