Not dumb at all Richard. But probably something you'd best measure
for yourself.
And as to other comments about bigger oil filters.....
I have purchased a larger oil filter but ran into problems with
clearance and the smallcar carrier. Maybe they've changed since i
purchased mine (carrier) which was about 2007 or so but make sure you
measure before you dump your oil and old filter!!!
all the best,
