Hello my name is Greg and I'm addicted to cutting up oil filters.....
This is the Nissan 15208 9E000 next to a Purolator 14610 and a bottle of GC for size comparison. Both filters are suitable for the KA24DE engine as well as other Nissan motors. Notice the plastic wrap around the unbutchered Nissan filter. FWIW the Nissan shell seemed unusually hard as I needed more than 1 dremel cutting disk to open it.
Both the Nissan and Purolator have good overall build quality. I was expecting to see a string wrapped around the Purolator as mentioned in some filter reports on the Net. Notice how densely packed the media is on the Purolator.
Here is a shot comparing components. Again, both are nicely made. Silicon ADBV on the Nissan. Both ADBVs are well shaped and look like they would seal well against the baseplate.
The Nissan filter (left)looks like it would flow particularly well.
Bypass valves, both are interesting designs.
I have never used either filter. The Nissan filter is made in Japan and cost $5.83. The Purolator was less than 3 dollars. I use the oversized Wix 1344 (or Napa Gold equiv) but found both of these to look like decent products.
I'm going to cool it on cutting up brand new filters for a while but I hope the pictures have been usefull for the board.
