suzonka Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I just bought a PN 15208-93000, on the box it shows that it goes up to a 1995 with a VG33E engine, I own a 2003 with a VQ35DE engine , is this going to be the right filter? for my 2003 V6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 (edited) I just looked it up on FAST, (Nissan's Parts System) and it looks like you got the wrong part. The part number I have is as follows 15208-65F00 The one you've specified is for a WD21 Pathfinder. Edited August 27, 2009 by Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoPathyGo Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Just to be sure, check that it fits in the gas tank before installing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Just to be sure, check that it fits in the gas tank before installing it. Don't mind GPG, he's had his head in the gas tank too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoPathyGo Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Just making sure the secondary oil filter cleans all the gasoline and doesn't allow sludge and carbon buildup to degrade it from 93 octane to 67 octane, which could damage the engine.

GoPathyGo Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Sorry, just a poor joke caused by lack of food. Ignore those posts. Do NOT attempt to put your oil filter in the gas tank. Also, there is no secondary oil filter. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamzan Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 The one you've specified is for a WD21 Pathfinder. Yeah so you might as well ship it to me since I need to do an oil change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Uh, or go back to Nissan and ask them wtf they were smoking!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Agree with Pezzy. Even if it's a dealership, it's not that hard to match the number on the paper in your hand from looking it up to the number on the box... No excuse for a simple oil filter.

beckylynn420 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I wonder...if you went back and asked for the other one and it cost more would they be willing to sell you the filter at the cheaper price since they caused this useless hassle in the first place? hhmm...I am good at barganing and can be a real........nasty person when need be...want me to go witcha? lol....

Zibi Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 go back to where you bought it from and tell them you asked for one for a 2k3, not a wd21. @!*% like filters, spark plugs, etc. you can just go to any major parts store like napa or lordco and tell them the make, model, and year of your vehicle and they can get you the part....you don't need part numbers. If it doesn't fit go back and call the guy a fskcing retard for screwing up an oil filter sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
