I have a 2005 altima 3.5 se. When ever I change the oil I always use the puralator filter for the 3.5. The filter for the 2.5 has a bigger capacity. Would it be safe to use the 2.5 filter on my 3.5? What I'm unsure of is if the filter relief valve would be the same pressures.

Purolator part # 2.5 L14610 3.5 L14612

Ok, I did some more research and found out that they are interchangeable. The break down is:

Purolartor oil filter for the 2.5 #L14610 and \ 3.5 # L14612 Height 3.73" \ 2.86 O.D. 2.69" \ 2.69 PSI relief 11-17 \ 11-17 Thread size M20x1.5 \ M20x1.5
