I plan on changing my oil filter on my 99 Launch. Anyone know what car/truck engine I should look up at my local AutoZone for the correct filter? I don't live near a marine supply store for marine filters. Any help is appreciated.

The Fram oil filter number is a PH5. From this you can cross referenece to any brand you wish.
I've heard that marine oil filters have a thicker metal shell to reduce the possibility of the filter bursting. K&N oil filters also have a thicker shell. That is what I've used on mine, and using KenS Fram number to cross-reference, I'm sure you could find a K&N for yours.
(Although I'm not 100% convinced it's any better than getting any other quality filter such as a Wix. I've never heard of a filter bursting, but, maybe it happens).
Rust through might br the real danger with thin filter cans
As long as you're changing oil at the recommended intervals rust shouldn't be an issue, and you can use a good quality automotive filter with no trouble.
Btw about cars: guys, what is your opinion regarding Tesla cars? Personally for me, it is HYIP.
To be honest, I used to be pretty indifferent to cars. I was absolutely uninterested in them and I did not understand the general enthusiasm of people for cars, but over time, when I first saw the 2020 Tesla Model 3 I understood why cars are so valued! Just look at this piece of art! Cars like Tesla bring me a lot of aesthetic pleasure! So Tesla is my favorite car!
The orange is absolutely the worst filter money can buy. Wix ,Mobil 1, K&N, AC and Motorcraft are all good . K&N and Mobil 1 are probably the best also the most expensive . A better grade of oil is more important than the filter . I use Mobil 1 15w50 with a Motorcraft filter in all my boats Change every 50 hours and you will be fine
Thank you very much for providing this information, I hope it will be easy to find.Quote:
