Theres usually not a problem using the longer one. Though if ypure unsure use the appropriate one. If youd like to try a different brand, heres a nifty cross ref site. You must know the current brand and number though...
http://www.oilfilter-crossreference.com/PS...as example, to go from Napa Gold to Wix just add a 5 in front of the number. Using Napa Gold # 1036, Wix would be 51036. Any other brand, if it ends in 036 it is USUALLY a Wix product.
