Default Oil Filter Question

OK I'm confused again! I went to the Rock Auto site to buy an Oil Filter. I wanted a fleece unit. Under the regular Crossfire 3.2 liter there was no WIX Fleece but under the SRT-6 there was (P/N 57078). Do these engines take different Oil Filters? If so where should I look for a Fleece filter for my limited coupe? Part numbers would be helpful. I am also trying to stay around $10 (P/N 57078 Rock Auto).

These are still available. These are the right ones we need for our 2005 Coupe, right? Mercades part # 000-180-26-09?

The WIX 57078 is sometimes the fleece filter and sometimes the paper filter. They had a quality control problem where they marked and packaged what I believe were Hengst paper filters as 57078's, which are supposed to be glass fleece filters.

That is a good price if you actually get the fleece filter, but it is a roll of the dice on whether or not you get paper or fleece.
