Thinking about getting an oil cooler... Would rather save money and get a universal kind. Need to know what size to buy for the spin-on adapter part that goes onto where the oil filter normally connects.

the only thing i can say is, maybe an oil filter
manufacturer's website may have the specs and
maybe the size of the filter hole

i'm curious as to the actual size as well.....

summit sells a peice that screw where the stock oil filter is and has an inlet/outlet for the oil cooler lines. Just search for you car and you will find it

I'm pretty sure it's metric. If I remember correctly, when I worked at Autozone, there was a changeover year (I think it was '96) when you looked up an oil filter, it asked if it was standard or metric threads. Standard gave a classic FL-1A motorcraft filter, and metric gave the FL-820S. I think it was just a retarded question, since as far as I know the 5.0's had the FL-1A and the 4.6's all had the FL-820S, it would have made more sense to ask the motor size (which is what I started doing onceI figured that out). Sometimes they just add to the fact that some employees don't know jack.

Concur. Did 3 years with an auto parts chain. Fram, Purolator, and Wix all had breakdowns of diameters, capacities, and threadsize for every filter.
