I had a spare XG6607 which I was not going to use because I decided to go with a longer version on a VQ37VHR engine it was intended for. It is definitely a very well made filter.

Thanks for the cut and post.
Wow what a tiny filter! I can't believe they seriously use something that small in a car. Looks too small even for a motorcycle or lawn mower!
Just use the 7317 instead.

That's very tiny for 15K miles of acclaimed life.
I ran it in mine and I was very impressed that it held up to all my cold starts.
Thanks C&P

It sure looks like a 2 layers synthetic media filter. The filter is small but built quality seems top notch.
This filter fits my Subie and I have posted one cut open after use. Looked perfect. These Ultras are just amazing with such high efficiency, capacity while also having a very low delta p at high flow. (4psi @ 10gpm @ 180 deg and 30w oil). With a bypass setting of 13psi the possible flow rate is amazingly high. This info was provided to me by MK.
It looks like the one for my versa. I was surprised how small it was.
Notice how much adhesive is used to pot the media in the thick end caps, that's how you get a good seal so you don't have issues with oil getting past the media.
My guess is that the engine must produce low amounts of contamination to warrant such a small filter. .

I got a DI engine and I don't think so.

Same here, - right side of the engine. There is plenty of room to run a filter at least 6" tall. Therefore, XG7317, PL14610, D3323 etc. fit with absolutely no issue or difficulty in installation for that matter.

No cost, weight, and space saving involved, right?

The new civic is getting the Ultra for two OCI's. Going to follow Honda's schedule.
Gives me confidence when working around the garage
. I feel like I can grab anything without thinking twice.
But no, seriously, like robo339 had mentioned there are a lot to sharp edges. Especially those top and bottom metal plates were pita to remove.
