2001 oil filter - help
Just took my 2001 GXE to local stores for oil change. They have put
purolator 14620.
However, I found that purolator 14620 is for 00 maxima, 01 maxima should use 14610!
I also found that Nissan and Fram provide same oil filter for 00 and 01 maxima. While purolator and acdelco use different oil filter for 00 and 01 model.
What should I do next? Keep it or change again?

I cant imagine why a company would have two oil filters for the same motor just different years. I actually work in a parts store and have never noticed it before. I always use nissan filters, but if the two different filters are close in size and seal properly, then I cant imagine a problem. The one from nissan seems pretty small to me, but I have been reassured that its the one. If you are worried about it, just change it, only a couple of bucks.
