OEM Honda oil filter on a Nissan Titan?

[Crownedroyal]

I have bought myself a new to me Nissan Titan, and my wifes car is a Honda CRV. While looking up oil filter part # (FRAM) for the truck I have found that they cross reference with a Honda oil filter part #. Does this mean I should be OK to use a OEM Honda filter on my Titan?

- I have no intentions of using a FRAM Tough guard, just like their online cross reference charting... so take it easy! LOL .

FWIW, the Fram Tough Guard is a fine filter.

get a tough guard .the screen on the bypass valve is a must if your bypass valve is all the way deep in the oil filter

For the record, Fram makes the OEM Honda filter.

What filter does everyone dislike on here? I may be thinking of the Extra Guard filter and not the Tough Guard.... this was not a oil filter debate.

Fram calls for a TG7317 on Honda's, and TG7317 on the Titan.
Therefore I should be able to use a OEM Honda filter on the titan correct?

The Tough Guards no longer have the screen. They haven't had them in a few years.

Seems like everyone is avoiding your question. In theory, yes they should interchange. In reality, it could be that Fram consolidates both listings into one filter that is "close enough". I'd check Wix and Baldwin sites, they usually have grater detail on length, gasket size and bypass settings.

Well, the Honda filter is basically a Tuff Guard anyway, cardboard and all.

What is your intended OCI? For a long OCI like 10k or more, my suggestion is either an Ultra, M1, Wix/Napa Gold, Wix XP/Napa Platinum, RP, or CQ Blue. You can get the Ultra on eBay at a great price, with the prefix FPS (eg. FPS7317); the only catch is no suregrip.

For a shorter OCI with a cheaper filter, use a CQ Red, or one of the cheap Wixes (Napa Silver/Proselect, Microgard, Pro-Tec, WM ST)

I am unsure what the bypass valve settings are for the Honda OEM, but assuming it is the same as a 7317 then yes, you can use the Honda OEM in your Titan.

Thanks for the reply. I have looked at the other sites and they list Honda and Nissan use the same filter. I'm confident that a Honda filter will work in my Titian.

Thanks!

Same as wix @8-11 psi.

I'm using a Nissan Titan oil filter in my Yamaha-ha-ha-ha

....Basically a Tough Guard in 'appearance'. Silicone adbv and fiber endcap construction, similar.

However presented as a point of information only, rated/tested efficiencies, not in same the ball park. TG ~99%@20um, Honda A02 tested ~66%20um.

As to the question "should be OK to use a OEM Honda filter on my Titan?"

Answer, yes it 'should' be ok to run the Honda filter. However, being a new Titan, there's the vehicle warranty and filter warranty to consider. In the very unlikely event of some engine damage to the Titan while running the Honda filter, Nissan 'could' take issue with the running of a spec for Honda filter.

Really there should be no issue, but you need to know all the considerations, however minor. Thinking Nissan wouldn't have much of case for warranty denial even if they did try the aforementioned tactic.

I would only run a filter that the filter manufacturer recommends. The risk of failure outweights the lack of any filter warranty in my case.
