Thanks for all the input, Jacques and Phil.
But none of the filters you listed are available in Europe. The guy at the local car parts store was very friendly and helpful (he even looked up my truck on the internet), but he could only find cross-references to cross-references leading to one and the same filter - which is too wide.
I contacted Micha Korst of Jeep Dodge parts (
http://jeep-dodge-parts.nl/) and he was very helpful and provided both the info and the filter in question: a Bosch P 9170 (order number 1 457 429 170, plus see the picture of the packaging for cross references to other brands).
Attached are some pictures and the product data sheet:
Bosch P 9170 ProductDetail.pdf. While it stands 23 mm smaller at 110 mm, the diameter of 98 mm is a good match (2 mm larger). The center tube is 1.5 mm too large at 14 mm (although they all seem to be around the 0.55" mark), but I minimized seepage with a couple of rings.
I am happy to have fitted a new quality product. Will report back after the next oil change.
If anyone finds another (European) match, please report about it here.
HTH,
Hanno
