I was sent the wrong Bosch oil filter (#3323) but I'd like to use it if it will work. It appears to be the same diameter and thread size as oem but is twice as tall. Our oem size is so small that this would seem to be a good choice for better capacity. It fits the following, including an older VQ. Anyone tried one of these on our Gs? Thanks!

hey.. i dont know if 07~08 guys do this,
but plenty of us 03-06 guys use M45's size filter..

it's the same diameter, but a bit longer.. more filtering area..

so i am guessing that filter you have will work also..

not sure about that exact bosch filter but i have used the taller pureone 14610 instead of 14612 a few times without any problems

Thanks for the info. Apparently the pureone & Bosch are for the same applications, and according to this thread almost identical I'll give it a shot, it would be nice to have bigger capacity down there
