I just bought four at my local Nissan dealer for less than $6 each

I don’t know how much, but a Nissan dealer had a few, the dealership was a ways away from me. I just bought 2 and I’m done now for 4 years. I do my oil every 2 years. I don’t drive the car much.

What’s the diff on the diff part numbers?

Superseded part number. Common practice. Same part though

The six that’s on there now, it’s slightly larger dia, so my wrench I had to custom bend won’t fit on it, how do you guys do them, I take the air box out and do it from the top. That’s gonna be a biotch getting off.
I bent the handle on a strap wrench years ago to get in there easier.
Maybe a cap type wrench to get it off.

Take it to the Infiniti dealer. Much easier lol. LOF probably $39

six...you mean WIX (brand)? anyway...I do not recommend tasking out the airbox. too easy to mess up the finicky MAF connector (Unless you have the LATE '95 with the 4 pin vs. 3 pin connector).
I just stick my big hand in there and twist. of course, with arthritis it's getting tougher.
This is another reason why I like the PL (or PBL if you prefer) 20195. Since it is taller, it sticks proud of the PS pulley, and makes it easier to get a good bite on it.

Yes, Wix. I got my 2 filters in the mail today. So I. Set fir a few years.
