Is it possible the replacement filter design has changed any? A bit of discussion of changed shapes over on Trat recently. Here is a link about NAPA branded filters. But I'm sure many name brands are from the same source, just with different labels.

I commented on that thread. I just changed my oil on March 21st with a Purolator PL14612 that I bought from my local Meijer store and have had no problems. That thread did make me curious though so this past weekend I inspected all of the Purolator Pl14612s and Pl14610s that they had on the shelf. All of the PL14612s were identical and all of the Pl14610s were Identical. The Pl14610s were concave, the Pl14612s were flat. Here is a pic I took at the store. Top is A Mobil 1 M-108, bottom left is the PL14610 and bottom right is the PL14612.
