Nissan FF made by Mahle in Japan, run about 5 months. Fiber endcaps relatively thick, lots of pleats, widest spacing at seam pleat shown in first pic. Nitrile adbv. Good center tube endcap seal at both ends, bypass end appears to use some type of adhesive to hold centertube to endcap, third pic from bottom. Last pic shows Nissan's unique crush washer, before and after. It's indexed to thread on to drain plug, index side towards plug. Filter looks much like the made in China Nissan filter I posted years ago.
Replaced with Napa Gold 7356 and thanks to a 'wemay' posting, some AAP Idemitsu 0w20 which worked out ~$.75/qt,, no rebate. Total cost of OC ~$8.
OE size is the 6607, but as normal lots of room for 7317 application even with the cover Nissan now uses. Never figured out why the 6607 chosen over 7317. Then again, same company that specs 0w20 and 5w30 in the OM, completely skipping a 5w20 recommendation.
Lastly, not my vehicle but 2017 base model Rogue S now in family extended stable so I will help maintain it when possible. When I picked up the crush washers, same parts guy working as last I was there when 03 Nissan 2.5L coded 0420 in 2011 and I posted it's death HERE . Naturally he didn't remember me, but when related story he still knew what 0420 meant. Must have felt a little sorry for me, gave me some crush washers.
