You can use such filters as the AC PF-13, or the Fram PH-16 or PH-922A
filter "if factory adaptor 128889-2A or VO-99 has been installed." (That
quote from Fram.) Perhaps someone else on the list will know if that
adaptor is still readily available.

I've used both the AC PF-13 and the Fram PH-16 with no problems. These are
fairly common, having been used also in any number of Volvos and Saabs and
other vehicles.
