Aside from the mentioned added capacity....It is "TUCKED" inside its little "CUTOUT" to protect it from road debris.....The added length will leave it open to anything that may want to smack into it.
The engineerd filter for the car works just fine, and there is NO BENEFIT that can be justified by deviating from what the application calls for.

If You wanted Dealership Service, You wouldnt Go To "Discount Quik Lube" , So why did you Walk into a dealership Expecting QUIK LUBE PRICING????
Ma'am, It costs so much money, because ...I CAN, And you CANNOT, And It matters Not to Me, Because I HAVE A RIDE HOME.

So true about the filter being "tucked" away under the engine.
I fact so "tucked", I had a little hard time getting it loose.
What kinda of filter wrench do you use?
I was going to use the K&N HP-2010 as a replacement, not only for the upgrade, but for the wrench fitting built into the top of the filter.
Gods honest Truth????? An Old Serpentine belt and a Pair of slip Joint Pliers. It has yet to fail me on anything Ive worked on.
"Hook" it around the filter, and wind it up , Just like you would a Can of HAM. Once the slack is taken up, it makes MUCH more Torque than a Filter wrench, and it was really Cheap.
