well, I'm not anywhere on that route, but you might check out the 
advance auto stores, as well as the autozones and even some of the 
little mom and pop parts stores for Bosch brand or better yet Wix 
brand oil filters.
They are much better quality than the fram filters and sometimes they 
are even cheaper.

I don't know what number you need, but you can check the wix pn cross 
reference on the AMSOIL sight.
