I went to my local dealer and they recommended I use oil filter #15208-9E000 instead of the 15208-65F00 for my 2002. They said the 9E000 was the same filter as the 65F00, but 1/2 taller. They said the larger filter held more oil, thus better filter. Any suggestions?

 

I believe that I use the 9E000. I'll check when I get home.
*EDIT*
Yep, that's what I use. I bought about 20 of them from the dealer.

This thread explain all why 9E000 is so much better. plus pics to prove it.

 

Thanks for the info. Nice to know the dealership counterman giving me advice instead of just giving me what I ask for.

 

parts guys are generally pretty cool... at least compared to sales and service guys haha
