Can I use a 51536 instead of the 51365? The only difference I can see is the height (0.825" taller). Here are the spec of these filters from the WIX website. This is for a 98 Nissan Sentra SE (SR20DE).

The WIX 51356 is the direct replacement size for the OEM 15208-9E000. So it is ok to use, but you can get bigger. Since the OE bypass setting is 14psi you can use the Baldwin B1431 which is also 14psi and 4" high, just a tad bigger.
Up to you though. I may try a WIX at my next interval.

Anyone having any luck finding the Wix 51344 with the silicone ADBV (red) and the new media? All the parts stores around here have old stock with the nitrile (black) ADBV.
