Which Genuine Filter!?!

[abr33]

Hi all, I dont like making new posts, but iv searched for an hour about bloody oil filters and here is my problem:

I got a genuine filter from the local nissan P/N 15208-53JOA told him i had an rb25det.. Filter box does say rb26dett, and is a pretty small unit.

I bought 6 online for a great price from U.S. and they are P/N 15208-55YOA and they are a bigger unit, like z145a. Box says for most of the vg series engines.

I cant find info on the difference between the two, which one really is the rb25 genuine part?

Ill think of everything else i was gonna ask in a minute... thanks

R33 S1 and S2 over here will be 15208-H890C

Neo's are 15208-31U0B from memory. Or 15208-53JOA i think.

Dunno I use the Nismo veruspeed one - so long as they fit and you change them regularly I don't think it matters too much. If want bigger some guys here are using an aircraft filter!

Im not too sure about that. A local performance garage told me that a customer supplyed them and genuine nissan oil filter, they put it on and started the car and the oil pissed out. Apparently the guy got a filter for a s13 SR not a s14 SR. I don't look up much SR stuff through work but i can tell you i wouldn't be trying any old filter that look like it's the same even if the filter looks fine.

Come to think of it we had a K12 micra towed into work and another workshop fitted a later model micra oil filter, done the same and dropped the oil.

If i was at home on my computer i would look up on Fast for you. But im pretty sure the above is correct.

So its different numbers to the states?? so why would they send me 55YOA? I did order by engine model not part number. A bit confusing?

[Ad's]

I would say so as i have never seen that part number for an oil filter. Unless its a supersession to come but i highly dought it. That oil filter might be correct over there but not here! Maybe they sent one for a completly different motor..

[abr33]

My thoughts exactly... i will send em back if they are wrong but need to find out first lol thanks anyway

R32 and R33 RB26DETT genuine filters are/were Z145a sized, but with the R34 the genuine filter was much smaller (same thread etc).

[abr33]

Well thats about the same size as the ones iv been sent but says on box fits sentra's, 300zx z31's, maxima, pulsar's etc but mainly the vg series from the 80's and early 90's

Y not buy them from repco supercheap or bersons

[abr33]

Because i want to run a genuine. nothing but. Just cant work out which is which

[Ad's]

like i said it could be right but the usa looks like it has different part numbers to us.

Yeah nah it's 15208-H890C over here in Australia. I have no idea what 15208-H8911AU would be as the part number is way too long..Unless it's an old part number. Last i checked it was H890C.

[abr33]

Ok thanks very much, so what i have on now is the r34 rb26 filter. Dont think it'll hurt to drive with on run in? till i get the correct items

[abr33]

I have never run a Nissan oil filter I know cars running 300+ kw with out a Nissan one it's better to buy the filter you know fits rather then muck around buying it from the states it will only be on there 5 to 10 thousand km If serviced properly

[89CAL]

Yeah its 10000000 times easier to just go and get a ryco z145a. Nothing at all wrong with them, dont cost much and redily available.

[JonnoHR31]

or just get a genuine filter from your local nissan dealership, they're always in stock and not much more than a ryco. yer the rycos are fine, but the nissan filter is a little better

I did this, and ended up with the wrong one will contact local dealer monday.

And im going genuine for the quality. i used ryco's before but this build will only see genuine for now..
