I ran across the same thing, but the parts guys are incorrect. It is a spin on filter, so it is very simple to swap. The cartridge type filter is for the hybrid version of the engine, similar to the old 2.3 l that was used. The 2.5 l engine uses a spin on filter, that is what cTomes from the factory and that is what you replace it with. Both filters are listed but one is for the hybrid and one is for the regular 2.5 l engine, so have them give you the spin on filter. |
