I've seen some videos of Baldwin filters cut open. They seem to be quality filters and always take up the whole can.

I wanted to insulate my oil pan, but only a very small portion of it is accessible from underneath the vehicle. After installing an oil pan heater, very little of the oil pan is available to insulate. At least the OEM design keeps most of the oil pan out of the wind.

As far as oil volume, I'll probably just continue to dump in a 5L jug after installing the larger filter, even if it means the oil level being a quarter liter below the full line.
