I'm trying to order some oil filter but only cars listed for part # 15208-9E000:

Altima 98-01
Sentra, 200SX, 1.8L, XE and GXE Models 00-02


When I punch in part #15208-65F00 (bad quality filter), I see:

Maxima 01-03
Sentra, 200SX, 2.0L 95-01
Sentra, 200SX, 1.8L, CA Model 00-02


As you probably all know, 15208-9E000 is a better made filter. Should I go ahead and order the Altima filter? As long as I order 15208-9E000 filter, it should fit 01 Maxima right?

 

Depend on which Altima are you talking about since i"m looking at the chart on the box of the filter it says Altima model L30 engine KA24DE.

 

part # is not listed on the box? Do you know if it's the same size filter as Maxima?

 

just punch in 95-00 max or 2002 Altima 4 CLY, then again they use cheap filter on car they fits. The best way is to call up. I aready made this mistake by I ordering 7 cheap filter. I still have four left.

 

You used the correct part # and they still sent you the cheap filters?

 

yes, because some place don't stock the 9e000( takes up space), because the new cheap oil filter can be used in every Nissan car. To small cars like Sentra 1.8L to the big v8 like Armada

 

This filter does fit on a 3.0. I am using that exact part number filter.

 

Ammi, the part number is the same as the Maxima. I was looking at that.

NYC TAR, which "cheap" filter were you talking about, the one that's 15208-9E000??? or was it some other number?

 

15208 65F00 is bad one ( It is smaller and has cardboard end)
15208-9E000 is the good one ( it is larger , and has metal end)

here is pic of the difference

Ive got a 15208-9E000 filter right in front of me, its the same number Ive been using on my 2K all along. The box shows a list of applications:

Infiniti A32 VQ30DE 03/95 -
Maxima A32B VQ30DE 02/94 -
Altima L30 KA24DE 06/97 -
Pathfinder R50 VG33E 10/95 -
Pickup D22U KA24DE 10/97 -

 

I just ordered 5 of them. Hope they don't screw up and send me the cheap filters.
