Is there an over size? The 'standard' is PL14610. More a curiosity than need.

Thanks

The PL14459 has a greater diameter, (though slightly shorter) and holds more oil. It was used in 90's Accords and still fits the newer Hondas.
 
Yeah, I would say the 14459. They're interchangeable, the 14459 was recommended for older Honda/Acura vehicles. I don't know why they changed, personally. The 14610 works fine on my car as does the 14459, you'd think just having one part number across the board would be a lot easier.
 
14459 internal volume = 23 sq in
14610 internal volume = 20 sq in

Not a big difference.

Definitely not a need, the V6's take the same filter at more than twice the displacement.

To the OP, here's what it looks like from the Puro site: http://www.purolatorautofilters.net/resources/Popup/Pages/PartDetailPopup.aspx?partnum=PL14459

Just curious where you found that information?


Great! I like the 20mu thingy. If I can get that extra filtration, why not?

Thanks! I placed an order on Amazon with FREE shipping.

I might have to consider using the PL14459 instead of the PL14610 on my V6 Altima ... it looks like the 3.15" dia vs the 2.69" dia will fit just fine on the filter mount -- the O-ring is the same diameter, just the can is larger in diameter. Plus, I like the fact that the PL14459 is 99.9% @ 20 microns instead of 40 microns.

Just a simple volume calculation based on the diameter and length. Units should be cubic inches, not square inches. The 14459 is about 15% larger in volume, and should have a little more media area, which is why it's probably rated at 99.9% @ 20 microns instead of 40 microns like the 4 smallest Purolator filters.
 
Picked up a Purolator Classic L14459 at K-Mart on the way home tonight. $3.15 ... on sale. They didn't have the PureONE in stock so just went with the Classic. I also noticed the 14459 has larger oil inlet holes in the base plate than the 14610, and has the coil spring bypass valve design vs the "45 record adaptor" flat spring design on the 14610. Seems the 14459 is a better choice than the 14610 for these reasons.
 
That's why it's called "free delivery", if you want next day or two day you pay extra, SOP. Tuesday sounds reasonable to me.
