Man, the new blend media produces some ugly C&P's. Looks like it held up OK though.
That little Honda filter on a big truck like that? I use the TG and FU in the 7317 and they haven't let me down yet. Thanks for sharing!!

I’ll be pulling an XG10575 in a week or so … maybe 9k in the forecast …
I already bought *UPF63 filters after seeing these twisters …
Don’t see a *rating on them but they sure look like M1’s
Other than the wavy stuff I’d say it did ok. Do you know the date code? What oil and filter went back in and on?First time cutting and posting, so forgive the not so great pics, I’m no 53Stude. This Fram had been on our Armada for 18 months, and right at 17k miles 205k-222k. No tears that I could find and the adbv was still very flexible.

Your photos are excellent also, great job
Nissan would probably spec the 6607-size if it were up to them so they could consolidate all of their vehicles on one size but on trucks, SUVs, etc, where there's space, they spec the 7317. My G35 specs a 6607 but a 7317 easily fits, plus we had (2) Hondas so I can buy the same filter for (3) of our cars.
What do the waves indicate ?
Looks like a 163rd day of 2021 date code……

Gotta wonder if the media is not trying to “grow” … but hits sinusoidal buckling since it’s confined ?

the 
for 5 > 7,000 mile interval on the '18 Accent when O.C. is due sometime in the spring .
Where are you seeing the date code? 163rd day of 2021 was before the change to the non-wired back media IIRC.
This oil filter needs 2 b torn down more 2 see if it is Wired or Not.
I can tell by looking at it in the posted photos that it's not wire backed.
ex-Nissan tech here. As far as I am aware, or at least so was the case at the dealership I worked at, they did use the 6607 size (Nissan 15208-65F0E) filter on everything. However I personally prefer the 7317 size (15208-9E01A) and that is what I use on my Pathfinder.
OP said it's been on for 18 months so where would 18 months ago place it in terms of being an OG or not?
Yep! I got this vehicle unexpectedly in June of 2021, it was a family member’s and it was very well taken care of, and for the price I couldn’t pass it up. It was my first Nissan, and coming from Ford FL1As and even FL820s, I was very surprised that the oil filter is so small.
Thanks, Stude. The oil that went back in is a Franken-brew. 3.5 quarts of vanilla Mobil 1 5W20 SP, and 3.5 quarts of Amazon 0W40 Euro, SN rated. Filter is the 20k mile super tech MP7317!Other than the wavy stuff I’d say it did ok. Do you know the date code? What oil and filter went back in and on?
