Sr oil filter question???

[Mr.s13r]

Just went to Nissan and bought two oil filter for my Sr. I told them to get me the one from 1995 se-r (sr20de engine). The guy brought out the filter on the left and i was like that's too small. So he brought out the one on the right and said it's the same thing. Well as for diameter it is the same but not in length. I was wondering if anyone familiar with this? Can i still use the shorter one? He said it hold the same capacity and stuff but too me that odds since it is shorter so iono. Lmk thanks

you may have asked for the wrong one do you have the stock one still on the engine as long as it screws on it should work ive used toyota 4 cylinder oil filters adnt hey work also the filters are made pretty much by the same company in japan diffrence is the toyota ones cost less for the wrong year ask for a 92 sr20de se-r or g20 also wil

what Sr do you have?

S-13 use 3/4 -16 unf

s-14 use IIRC M20 1.5

It's very important to get the right filter, the size is not what usually matters, but rather the thread spec. I've had a wrong filter shoot off my oil block at high rpms due to oil pressure and lost all oil from the motor.

For S13 SR, the oil filter you should use is Nissan 15208-53J00.

Yea mine is the s13 sr. Well damn i just use it. I used the Nissan 15208-9E000, i guess it should be fine.

Qft, Damn just happen to me today. Drove the car hard and my oil pressure was at zero, scare the shit out of me. This happen right in the middle of a big intersection. Came out popped the hood and heard my motor starve. Turn off the car and check the filter, it was loose as fuck. From now on i'll just listen to y'all advice.

There are a bunch of oil filters that fit the SR. I personally use the K&N HP2009 filter.
