Went to get filters at autozone, had 2 each listed for the cabin and
air filters, depending on the VIN number. Only trouble is, the 2 options
did not match anything in my VIN number as shown on title and dash.
Is there an expanded VIN number somwhere on the car? I suspect the
parts store may be causing the confusion.

my vin ends in 112.

J.P - First, please make sure you posted an intro in the new members section and put your vehicle info in your signature line.

Please provide the last 6 digits of your VIN - that is what you will need to provide for verification of many parts moving forward.

Do you have the 3.0 V6, or 4.2 V8 or 4.2 supercharged engine?

According to my research Autozone sells Fram filters. The parts number for Fram I am showing (for all engines for the 03 model year - both will fit!) are as follows: CA9513 and CA8956 - look for either of these filters (The CA8956 being the better of the two) and you should be good to go.
