I don't know if it matters, but would the 3675 be more beneficial in terms of cold-starts by having the ADBV? I looked at the 9837 as a cross-reference awhile back but learned it didn't have the ADBV.
Height isn't much of a concern, there's a good bit of room in that area of the frame. I would like to use a remote mount filter but plumbing would take some creativity being crowded on that side of the engine bay...doable but not easliy.

I guess looking at some Toyota filters back in the day that were smaller than the filter on my riding mower, I can see how the size of the can doesn't mean everything.

Why do you need more capacity than a FRAM Ultra anyways? 20k miles ain't enough??
I guess I just wasn't fully aware of the capabilities of the XG filters, also the surface area of the filter media doesn't fully coincide with the size of the can.
Ok, good info...thanks...I'll keep using the XG. Don't really
need the extra capacity, already have 7qts but a good remote setup would be nice as well.
