Took it to change the oil (got about 1200 miles on it.) They couldn't find the right filter for it. They started to use the filter from the Dodge Stratus 2.4L engine. It was slightly longer and could hold more oil. I called up Autozone and they listed Fram part 3600. That's from a PT Cruiser Turbo. I told them to use that. Would it hurt to use the slightly longer filter that is used in the Dodge Stratus 2.4L?

This link is for an oil filter study. Interesting reading. I would not assume the filter for the PT Turbo is the same. while the Dodge Turbo II engine is shared by many Dodge cars, the GLHS uses a unique filter due to clearance issues. The only other vehicle to use it is some sort of Peugot
