Can someone tell me the exact part number for the oil filter that sat on my 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GS-T when it rolled out of the factory in Illinois?
I am using an online parts catalog by VIN.
I also check two other online catalogs by VIN as I have noticed there are small inconsistencies between them.
Two of them show six different part numbers plus replacement part numbers.
The third one shows seven different part numbers plus replacement part numbers.
My car was imported from the United States.
The filter that is currently there needs to be replaced.
The part number appears to be MD322508 from what I can see.
That is certainly not the original filter as the catalogs tell me this is for "Europe use only".
I understand that all of the filters are compatible.
That is not the question however.
I know for a fact that the filters differ in design and size.
This affects the efficiency and longevity.
One filter is about three times longer than the other.
I simply want to know the exact part number of the oil filter that originally was on my car.
Any help would be appreciated.
