1344 fits new 4 cyl Accords

[wheels]

I just put the larger Napa 1344 (Wix 51344) on my '03 Accord 4 cyl. Fits just fine. I had only changed oil once before and I thought I remembered there being minimal space there for a larger filter, but I was wrong. There is plenty of space. So now I've got to buy a load of those Wix filters before they stop making them.

Besides being about an inch longer, the only other difference I noted is the gasket is listed at .148" instead of .233" thickness.
I guess as long as the can doesn't bottom out, you should be fine.
You might keep an eye out for oil drips for a couple days just in case.
I wouldn't expect a problem however.

The Wix #51334 has about 115 sq/in of media.
The Wix #51344 has about 170 sq/in.
The #51334 is one of those Wix filters in which the filter element is actually one-half of the size of the can it's in.
I've been using the #51344 for Honda and Subaru engines with no fitment or leakage problems.
Thanks.

I went from the 334 to the 344 on our 02 Honda V-6 and have had no problems at all.
