It's time for an oil change and noticed I need to restock my oil and fuel filters, so I went to Geno's and noticed they only carry the 4/2/1 packs for the 02's anymore. With a BHAF I have no need for the air filter. They do carry the 4/2 pack for the 3rd gens, and some quick searching indicates they may be interchangable (results were a bit vague)?

Oil Filter:
00-02 = LF3894 Stratopore
<table 0="" cellspaceing="0" border="1" cellpadding="0" cols="2"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor="#ededed" width="60%">[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Largest OD:[/FONT] </td> <td bgcolor="#ededed"> [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]93. 47 mm (3. 68 in) [/FONT] </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#ededed" width="60%"> [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Overall Height:[/FONT] </td> <td bgcolor="#ededed"> [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]176. 02 mm (6. 93 in) [/FONT] </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#ededed" width="60%"> [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Thread Size:[/FONT] </td> <td bgcolor="#ededed"> [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1-16 UN-2B[/FONT]</td></tr></tbody></table>
03-07 = LF16035 Stratopore
<table 0="" cellspaceing="0" border="1" cellpadding="0" cols="2"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor="#ededed" width="60%">[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Largest OD:[/FONT] </td> <td bgcolor="#ededed"> [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]93. 47 mm (3. 68 in) [/FONT] </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#ededed" width="60%"> [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Overall Height:[/FONT] </td> <td bgcolor="#ededed"> [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]176. 28 mm (6. 94 in) [/FONT] </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#ededed" width="60%"> [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Thread Size:[/FONT] </td> <td bgcolor="#ededed"> [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1-16 UN-2B[/FONT]</td></tr></tbody></table>
Supposedly these oil filers are identical except for the filter wrench flats on the bottom of the 3rd gen filter?

Fuel Filter:
00-02 = FS19855 (10 micron, ULSD safe)
<table 0="" cellspaceing="0" border="1" cellpadding="0" cols="2"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor="#ededed" width="60%">[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]End 2 ID:[/FONT] </td> <td bgcolor="#ededed"> [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]20. 83 mm (. 82 in) [/FONT] </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#ededed" width="60%"> [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]End 1 OD:[/FONT] </td> <td bgcolor="#ededed"> [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]86. 61 mm (3. 41 in) [/FONT] </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#ededed" width="60%"> [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]End 2 OD:[/FONT] </td> <td bgcolor="#ededed"> [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]82. 3 mm (3. 24 in) [/FONT] </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#ededed" width="60%"> [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Overall Height:[/FONT] </td> <td bgcolor="#ededed"> [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]104. 14 mm (4. 1 in)[/FONT]</td></tr></tbody></table>

Supposedly these fuel filters are interchangable, with the 3rd gen filter offering a little finer filtering?

Can anyone confirm these oil and fuel filters are interchangable? If so I'll just order the 4/2 pack unless of course someone has a lead on a supplier with better pricing?

Added dimensional info for each filter (found it here), sure looks like a direct swap to me. Any objections?
