A friend of mine has a 05 987 2.7L and picked up a oil filter at a dealership --last numbers 225-53--and he reported the opening in filter was too small to fit over the pickup. He replaced it with a 225-60 and it works.
Going through a few work orders on our 06 2.7L the dealership noted the 225-53 filter being used..
I looked up the listing of filters on Pelican Parts and the 225-53 are show on the 2007-08 car; the 225-60 goes in the 05/06 model.
Hmm, so I've had the wrong filter on this car all this time?
The manual says nothing regarding the filter number; any 05/06 2.7L owners out there that can verify what oil filter was used on their car?
thanks..
