[FC] oil filter

[Paul Campbell]

   OOOPPPPS !  I made a big mistake (after I went to the garage to double 
check)  my NAPA Filters are #1038's also (not 1040's)  The 1040's are for 
the wife's car.  !  Sorry all !

>>As far as the word "readily available" it depends.......
>>My NAPA dealer keeps a couple of 1038's on the shelf.
>>Most NAPA dealers can get one in a day or so from the warehouse.
>>This is a WIX filter.

>>I order mine by the case so I always have extras on the shelf, but I also

>>As far as I know the Fram and the Purolator are still available, but to me
>>the NAPA (WIX) is a better filter.
