Hello:
Most of what I'm seeing is to go with the Mahle filter that has 8mm fittings on each end:

TIA.

The factory had a rubber reducer just before the filter. They are NLA unless Auto Atlanta is getting them made.
Don't attempt to fit the wrong size hose on a fitting. That's a recipe for disaster.

Thanks for the quick info. I'll check with AA but wonder if something like this would work:
