Better oil filter
I found a better oil filter for the TL. Same thread, same anti-drain back valve, same opening pressure for the bypass (8-10 psi), and same width.
How is it better?
1) It is about a 1/2 inch longer for increased filtering capacity and holds more oil
2) The gasket is silicone rubber for best sealing and freedom from sticking
3) The Microsonic media has more surface area and filters more effectively.
If anyone is interested, I can post the number.
It is made by Purolator and is there top of the line filter.

It is Purolator part# PL24458.
Nutz and Boltz did a filter study recently and these were top rated by the Master Mechanic who runs N&B based on test results and tear downs of the filters.
Using this filter with, say Redline, will easily allow 7500 mile oil changes with highest protection.
That's what I intend to do.
