Most list the non-existent Vector instead. When I was looking, the catalog listed the Vector but didn't list any parts for it. I stopped in again today and this time they had the Fram CH9018 listed for the Vector. > The only part number the dealer would have given you is a SAAB one.

I buy either these or the OEMs for my SAABs. I figured they might be able to suggest a compatible after-market filter. That's all I was really asking of them.

I've always use fully synthetic. It'll cost me less than 200 bucks and 2.5 hours a year to change my oil every 3000 miles. That's not much at all. > Probably not, but 5000 miles is a far more reasonable number than 500 or > 2000. I never said I was reasonable ;)
