<p>A filter base useable for both top-load and bottom-load filter assemblies. A method of using a fluid filter assembly includes providing a filter base capable of operably receiving a filter mounted in one of first and second positions. The first position includes the filter mounted vertically below the filter base to receive dirty fluid to be filtered flowing downwardly from the base and into the filter, while the second position includes the filter mounted vertically above the base to receive dirty fluid to be filtered flowing upwardly from the base and into the filter. The filter can be a bowl-cartridge type or a spin-on canister type.</p> |
