After hearing here how the thing to do is use factory mitsu oil filters I decided to pick one up. The part number is MZ690116. It is small that the Bosch I have been using, the circumference that is. Is this the correct part???
I dont have a way to check the part number, but there are a number of different sized oil filters for our cars. I know the new mitsu filter is small (you used to have a choice between the large and small filters, but not anymore).

I know for a fact that they discontinued the larger style. I got a couple of the last ones from Maplewood Mitsu last summer and the parts guy told me they were being replaced.
If you relocate the oil filter,( like I did ) you could use a N/T 95 mitsu filter it's bigger. and I like it better than the V1a ford filter, or just buy purolator thay kick but to IMOP.
i was told by a dealership that they discontinued the bigger one because the small one worked better. the smaller ones seem to get rid of the lifter tick.
