1.) Is this a 2 door or 4 door stratus (yes it matters) 4 cyl or 6
2.) don't use the over size filter. there is a reason not to. the
first time you should bottom out the car or scrap on a parking ledge
you will pull th eoversize filter off. (I have seen it happen)
use a mopar p/n 4105409

good luck
