I searched and was wondering if by rich's (spl) post it was determined that the Nippon was almost identical. I could only find their results w/out pics. I just wanted to know maybe from those who are currently using these new Nippon filters if the hole size and such is the same as the stock 60U00.
Simple answers preferred, I'm not looking at getting into a debate or long drawn out discussion. I may have a friend see if he can order these for me below the 3.73 cost.
Thanks in advance,
Here is his post if someone remembersThe things to look for here are the filter media and the
construction of the core of the filter. The Nissan and Nippon
filters generally have nearly identical filter media while the
regular Fram had some very thin paper. Of course there is
the X2 which is unlike the rest.

I think it goes without saying that the Nippon isn't going to
cause any problems with an inability to flow oil....
Nippon filter media vs Nissan filter media..
The angles aren't perfect....the Nissan filter material is a
little thicker than the Nippon material. Although the Nippon
filters tend to pack more total filter material into the filter
than the Nissan filter......results...either would work...which
works best....toss up and the results would probably be
so similar as to not matter. Note......the Oil filters directory is full of big and small oil filter pics if you
are really bored and want to look at oil filters In conclusion....we (the 5-8) of us that were there for these
interesting filter disassembly sessions decided the Nippon
filter was fine, the Nissan 55Y00 was not going to blow up
a motor, and the Nissan 60U00 is probably the best to have,
just for the peace of mind of having what it did in 91.
