Might I offer you guys a suggestion?
I'm sure most of you haven't heard of Union Sangyo Nippon filters. They're available from worldpac sources like www.thepartsbin.com and the like. They're a japanese company with operations in a few places. I belive their filters are made in malaysia. These are *excellent* quality oil filters. I still have one from my old 91 Maxima SE (wrecked) that I plan to use on either my '81 Datsun 210 or 86 Pulsar. Not only are these filters excellent quality, but they are also *sticklers* for making their filters just like the OEM peice, right down to the color and part number. Every valve and spring and the like will be in place just as it was in the factory filter.
I was surfing around for parts and remembered this thread and the different filters, so I thought I'd post.
This is their take on the good old 15208-60U00:
versus my 15208-55Y00
I have a friend with a 300ZX who uses the upper filter because it mimics the old Nissan piece so well. I've been using their version of the VG filter on all my Nissans for some time now. They were great on my now-dead Maxima. As we can see in the pics, both filters use a nice red silicone anti-drainback valve. The blue filter does not use a bypass valve, however...which is weaksauce.
Just a suggestion. Take it for what you will. If only their website was as good as their filters.
