I'd venture that it's all con since the 911 filter and 914 are different sizes. Even if you can screw the 911 filter on a 914, the sealing gasket on the 911 filter will miss the sealing surface on the 914 filter tower. If you're thinkin' just because it's a 911 filter it has to be better, that's not necessarily so. Get the proper 914 filter (Mann, Mahle, and I'd like to know about Wix and other brands) and adopt a regular oil change interval....

The early 911 filter will fit just fine, but it was designed with the high flow rate you get with a dry sump system. Valving may be different, and it's gonna stick about 2" farther down, putting it at risk of getting smacked by anything substantial you might run over.

The Cap'n is right, at best all you are gaining is less ground clearance.

Pretty sure mine sits perpendicular to the engine bar.

Looking at the photo above, I can see the filter interfering with the cables. Hmm, does the term "saw through the filter" mean anything to you? Once the plastic coating is gone, what you have is a serrated flexible housing rubbing on the thin metal of the filter. All the time.

The picture doesn't give you a true perspective since it's 2 dimensional. The cables are at least an inch below the filter. Not even touching. The worn cables came from resting on the bottom of the engine and they don't anymore. The heat of the engine caused the plastic to melt. No danger the cables will "saw through the filter".

Uhhhhhhhhhhhh, Elyut? We're discussing the effects of the added length of a 911 oil filter, NOT the length of the 914 filter in the picture. I can understand your confusion, what with you being from El Paso de Robles and all, but it seems unbelievable that you've lost ALL of your ability to reason and comprehend since you moved up there. Remember, "redneckness has got to be a disease, you catch it on your fingers and it just crawls right up your sleeve". Of course, you came from Orange County, where reason and comprehension are in short supply, so maybe it just wasn't there in the first place ..................
