I've used the new filter several times and at least once since have used the old filter and in fact still have an old filter that I will use for next oil/filter service.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

What's the difference between oil filters 996.107.225.60 and 996.107.225.53?

POST 2Original post

IDK off the top of my head, but look them up on the Pelican site and see to what vehicles they apply.

POST 3Original post

I think 996.107.225.60 is for 3.6L and 996.107.225.53 is for 3.4L However, I think they both fit either models. I'm not sure though. For my last oil change, I ordered the appropriate filter for my 02 C4S, which is 996.107.225.60 However, Sunset Imports sent me 996.107.225.53. I was a little confused, but looked up previous records of my car with the dealer, and it showed that all the filters they had been using on my car were 996.107.225.53. Same with my indy place. With that, I went ahead and installed it without bothering to ask for an exchange.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 6608030

Wow, my local dealer gave me the .53 today for $27 and Sunset sent me the .60's for $14.9?.

POST 6Original post

Quotes source post: 6607626

Porsche has spec'd for Boxsters, at least MY '02, cause my local parts counter guy looks up part number of filter based on my car's VIN and this is the filter that comes up. He says other MYs and other models, some still use the older filter. I've looked filters over very carefully side by side and in bright light and near as I can tell save for the visible difference in the end rings are identical. Parts guy tells me same thing but he goes by what the VIN/parts number relationship is when he fills a parts order. I've used the new filter several times and at least once since have used the old filter and in fact still have an old filter that I will use for next oil/filter service. Sincerely, Macster.

POST 7Original post

That's because the .53 is a classic model and as the 993 guys know classics are better.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 6609406

I should have known better, right? I'm almost sure I get 7 more HP out of the filter with the sporty black ring though.

POST 9Original post

Interesting, I got the 53 model from my local stealership in October. I had no idea that there are multiple versions.
