Comparison of two Mahle oil filters, OC 711 vs OC 575

[KGMtech]

The reason for this post is that I have 2 Mahle OC 711 filters left over from when I had my 2013 Nissan Maxima with the VQ35DE engine. The 2019 Infiniti QX60 I have now takes - if you 100% trust the folks (herren) at Mahle, the OC 575 filter.

The OC 711 is the same diameter, same M20 x 1.5 thread, but is about 8-10mm taller than the OC 575. I have not found any information about bypass pressures for either one, The 2013 Maxima lived on 5w30 Synthetic. The 2019 QX60 specifies 0w20 and that's all I want to use, it is now running PP 0w20 and a OC 575 filter.

There is room for a taller filter, so the OC711 will fit just fine...but should I use it? or is there a reason that you might know for Nissan to spec an even smaller filter for this Direct Injected VQ35DD?

Thanks for your insights,
Ken

How old are the filters?

The OC 711 filters are less than 8 months old delivered from RA, the OC 575 is new,

I have an OC575 on a Frontier with the QR series 4. Seems to work so far. It’s smaller than a PH6607 filter, same size as a Hi-Flo for a Japanese bike.

use-d the OC 575 on my air cooled 865 bonnevilles + now the water cooled 900 + 1200 + like wix that has slightly longer fitment. the wix site shows cellouse for the longer one 51356 + modified cellulose for the shorter 51358 filter + silghtly different bypass pressure! the same but slightly different seems to be the norm these days
