Re: wix 51334
.
The WIX website says the correct filter for the Porsche 944 1983-1995 is 51287 These are the L30165 filters we have been using for years. The rubber gasket is different, but makes NO difference and does not leak. TomsSVX, svxfiles an others have never had problems of any kind. Did you try them before deciding they wouldn't work or just compare gaskets visually? What number were you given? The board does not make any recommendations to others that have not been thoroughly tested, whether it is an oil filter or my new alternator wiring modification You can see that the Purolator filters have different gaskets, and they work just as well!!   .

Re: wix 51334
I have been using the L30165 filters since I origionally got the car from svxfiles and I would honestly not use anything else. It works fine for me.

Re: wix 51334

Re: wix 51334
I have 2 of the wix 51287 filters in the garage that I'm going to be using for the first time this weekend. I'll post up pics and whether or not they work.

Can't imagine me blaming someone else and whining about an oil filter that doesn't fit... You can always take a look and compare them with a filter that is on the chart for your car while you are at the auto place. Try to "get over it" Keith
