anyhow, my original oil filter says made in Japan. my local dealer that I purchased 2 replacement oil filters from say made in China. I also noticed that the oil filter they gave me is slightly longer (maybe 1/2 inch) than the OEM one?

part number of the original Nissan filter: 15208-65FOB (Japan)
part number of the Nissan filter the dealer sold me: 15208-9E000 (China)

and from the looks of AK's pictures, his was 15208-65FOC (China)

thoughts?
