Glad you are laughing at my expense, lol.
I Chang mine when it is full, which is quite often. It’s a 7 micron filter in a small Davco 382. This is the only fuel filter my engine has.

I use a P550467 filter. What do you use?
For you it's tax deductible. So I mean...
If the oring for the bowl is the same size it would work. I am only familiar with the super wide and and the medium one that’s on my current truck and those do not cross change. However I did go to a davco class and they said if the wrench will fit both units and the oring is the same size you can interchange the parts, no need to look it up. (Not kidding the guy actually said that)
Talking about the 382, there were two different size covers.
I called Davco today, and they said the plus size and standard size covers are interchange.
They proceeded to tell me that mine should be the plus size because all of the units from 2008 forward came with the larger cover.
I got a new cap and cover today, turns out I had the larger cover all along.
Problem has been that everyone is putting standard size filters in it.
Even today, I had Freightliner set out a couple filters with the new cover. When I arrived to pick it up, they had the smaller standard size filters on the counter.
So now I have a new cap, cover, and the proper size filter for the first time.
Donaldson: P550849
Fleetguard: FS19763
Davco said the 103100DAV filter bowl I picked up is the larger housing, for a 382. They said they would recommend using the larger filter
Also, they said they partnered with Fleetguard to patent their products. They said Fleetguard has a rubber widget on the top of their filters to help regulate the pressure differential
They said other filters may “be full” but still not be “used up” because they don’t have the rubber widget
Interesting.

Same bowl I just bought. The fleetguard number I posted above is the one you need if you are looking for a 7 micron.
I’m no widget expert but two Donaldson filters have a rubber widget in the same place as a Fleetguard rubber widget
So I don’t know
I think I’d prefer to stay with all Donaldson
I’m surprised it’s hard to find Donaldson filters on the road, though
