The only one I have for the next month is installed. If someone can tell me the diameter & length of the oem filter, that would be awesome.

Thanks a bunch!

?curiuos as to know why?

i mean u can just walk into any parts store to measure it yourself...

i'm more curious as to which larger ford oil filter this member used in his car to have similar benefits of more filter media in the fuel filter area (300zx upgrade)

Yea, I'm just a wee bit lazy since it's not a big priority.

Reason why I wanted to know is that I will be getting a oil filter adapter "heat sink" that wraps around the filter to act as a semi oil cooler. I know I can just run an oil cooler, but I don't want to run that yet, especially w/o getting a thermostat controller for it.

It's something I'll be measuring once I relocate it so I can use my gauge sensors for oil temp & pressure instead of tapping into some other line.

Thanks for replying though.

I'd say it's about 4-5" in circumference.

Best to just go measure one at a parts store.

Also, hit up http://www.splparts.com ... we found the best oil filters (better than Nissan OEM!).

im pretty sure its a Fram PH5 filter.

that thing is huge though, i kinda doubt it would even fit in the space available.
