Any updates to this database? I have several 7317 and M20x1.5 filter data to add.

Post the info here and I'll add them to the database. I have been slowly updating the spreadsheet. I'll try post the updated tables within the next few weeks.

I've also several other filter sizes with different threads. I have a lot of data for FRAM 3675, 10575, 4967, 3600 -equivalent filters, and a bit of data on some others.

If anybody wants to contribute media area measurements for any automotive filter, I'll gladly add them to the list.

Here's one I cut open a few months ago.

MicroGard Select model MSL51348.

Media measurements:
Number of pleats = 54 (not including the metal crimped seam - doesn't filter)
Pleat depth = 7/16 inch = 0.4375 inch.
Pleat length = 2.0 inches.

Media Area = (2 x 0.4375 x 2.0) x 54 = 159.3 square inches.

I get an area of 94.5 square inches from your formula.

You are right ... I know the measurements are right, so must have fat fingered the calculator, lol. Good catch.

Thread '20x1.5 - Help me find the best filter size & type for Nissan?'

Apr 5, 2025

I'm looking to stock 20x1.5 engine oil filters for Nissan Cube & Rogue that are a cut above but not $$$$. Spoiler, I'm in ON, Canada and the OE filters are too small in my opinion, we can do better.

OE filters
Nissan 15208-65F0E
Fram PH6607
WIX 51358

I have a few filters to inspect from Full, NAPA, Fram, etc and I'm looking for suggestions. C&P to follow, thanks!
