Not really big advantage over the regular one but I think larger filter gives you more filtration area, which in turn keeps the oil cleaner longer. It also reduces restriction. By using a larger oil filter, you HOLD more oil. So, when you're driving aggressively or at the track, your oil may take a little longer to heat up than lets say car with a less oil. Again, the difference on the Purolator filters are VERY little. There are people in chevy truck forums or such that use larger oil filters. In some cases, difference between filters are half a quart (or more)!
However, with the 370Z, difference is little. So with the choices above (14612 vs 14610), it's up to you what you want to use.
