Hello All,
I am a newby in this forum and I think I am in the right thread. I just changed oil and filter in my 2007 Titan XE and when I changed the oil filter I noticed the base on the engine where you screw the filter on is much larger than the base on the small oil filter. I installed a Purolator PureOne PL146190 and it is a small filter. Do they make a larger filter that will match the full size of the mounting base on the engine. Why would they make a large mounting base on the engine to put on such a small filter? I would think they would have a large filter for an engine that takes 6 1/2 qts of oil on an oil change? The filter I took off was even smaller than the PureOne. Has anyone found a larger filter to replace these small filters?
