Is the thread pattern the same on both SR20DE filters?
one is small prt# 15208-65F00

the larger on is # 15208-53J00

Just cause the smaller one is being shot off by my engine SR20DET.

as soon as I start the car the oil filter shoots right off and oil spills everywhere.  
What part number do you guys use??
thanks

i dont have a sr20det but i do have a sr20de sentra. high poort or the 91-94 used the small filter which had the blue letering and 95-99 low port used the taller one with red lettering

dont know if i got the low port high port right but the colors and sizes are correct i always get ocnfuzzled on the high low port

ok thanks,

I wonder if it could be a defective filter?  I hand tighten it and then pull on it and it comes right off.  strange cause it twists on just fine.

you probably stripped the threads. hopefully on the oil filter only <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

actually I the two filters are different. &nbsp;fortunatly the longer filter is the one for my SR20DET. &nbsp;the shorter one is for S14 SR's and anything newer then 93.
the longer one is for 91-93 Sr's. &nbsp;fits much better! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
