[cheetahdriver]

has anyone done any work on an oversize for the Infiniti FX45? VK45DE engine?

Are you sure the Mobil 1 filter for the Infiniti FX45 is an M1-109? Everything I see shows it being the M1-110 for the 2003 - 2008 models.

The M1-110 cross-refs to the Wix 51356 with the following specs:
- Height = 3.402
- OD = 2.685
- Thread Size = 20X1.5 MM

The M1-109 cross-refs to the Wix 51311 with the following specs:
- Height = 3.372
- OD = 3.661
- Thread Size = 3/4-16

The OD of the two are quite different, not to mention different thread sizes.

You can double your available choices with a cheap 'adapter'. See my old post on how I'm using filters with a 3/4x16 thread on my M20x1.5 threaded car. If you've got room and the gasket seals, you could run something as large as the M1-301.
