This filter was off 2019 Nissan Altima. I will cut it open later. It’s Purolator made also

The 51358 is tiny. Use a 57356 instead. WHile the 57356 is still small for its size (due to the bypass), it's still more than what you get with the 51358.
 
On this one I can agree with conclusion, defintely a Purolator date code here starting with F, Fayetteville. It is Wix's 6607 equivalent, never cared for this Wix/NapaGold application because it used a nitrile rather than silicone adbv. If one looks at this appplications on Wix look up, there's many more OPE and powersports applications than automotive, Nissan/Infiniti. Likely why they used nitrile as opposed to silicone.

Just installed a Napa Gold 7356 (Wix made original) on a Nissan Rogue. Never seen a Nissan that the slightly longer 7317 equivalent didn't work. That said, I get using the spec filter for customer shop work, makes total sense.

Would like to see pic(s) of outer side base/tapping plate to see design and adbv material used. Also be curious to see what this one looks like post use. Just removed a P1 PL14610 with 8600mi/year fci, off aforementioned Rogue. Looks very good, hopefully I'll get around to posting c&p.

Have had several 51348 and napa 21348 filters come through the shop that are puro made. They use the puro 76mm cans instead of the wix 74mm cans
