multi use filter questions

[sneakboxer]

I have a 2010 4.0 nissan frontier, 2004 1.7 civic and a 25hp merc outboard that id like to use the same oil filter on. I have always used OEM but not that nissan and honda use lower quility filters i'm exploring aftermarket options. It looks like a wix 51356 or a baldwin B1402 or Mobil 1 filter would fit all my engines. But the makers do not have much information to compare. I'm concerned with the flow rate and filter rates for example wix relieves at 8-11psid and the baldwin relieves at 14psid. (i think my nissan relieves at 14psid) (i'm also concerned about the outboard, i have heard that the filter is a high flow more open design)
What filter would provide the best protection. All the filters are mounted horizontally too.
Thanks for the help a one filter fleet would make life much easer.

It wouldn't bother me to use the 14610, which is the purolator equivelant, in all those and if I owned them I probably would. I used it in our 03 Civic, and I use it on my motorcycle, our Accord, my old Accord... etc.

The bypass isn't an exact thing, I wouldn't worry about 10 or 20% there, which is probably in the tolerance of manufacture anyway. If you are concerned, Wix has a better setup for the bypass than Purolator in this application.

As for the outboard, I'd throw it on there. I doubt a 25hp Merc at full bore (probably 6500 rpm tops) is flowing more oil than any of those filters can handle.

It's a great thing to be able to keep one size of filter on your shelf and use it for multiple vehicles. My Nissan, wife's Saturn, and mother-in-law's Honda all use the same size. And that size happens to be the same that your Nissan and Honda use. Any of the following would be good choices:

Purolator PureONE PL14610
NAPA Gold FIL1356
WIX 51356
DENSO 150-1010
Bosch D3323
Mobil 1 M1-110
K&N HP-1010

thanks guys! I'm mildly concerned with maintaining my warranty for my Nissan but any of the top of line filters should cover the warranty if i document the change. I'm not real worried about 25 outboard. The OEM filter is about 3/4 to 1 inch shorter so a longer filter should help or even out in the end.
I guess i'll start shopping for a deal.
