I was talking with Porsche parts yesterday and they told me the Mahle OC-59 oil filter (914-6) has been replaced by the PC-34 Red oil filter as the Porsche replacement. I tried calling Mahle to confirm that (I want to order 6) and the line just disconnects. Can anyone confirm that the PC-34 is correct for the 914-6? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I've always used Mahle OC-61, I don't think I've ever seen OC-59, though they seem to be equivalent.

Mahle is now owned by a company in Chicago. Probably changed some part numbers

Looks like the OC-61 is superseded by the OC-59

QUOTE(Cairo94507 @ Aug 3 2023, 03:22 AM)  I was talking with Porsche parts yesterday and they told me the Mahle OC-59 oil filter (914-6) has been replaced by the PC-34 Red oil filter as the Porsche replacement. I tried calling Mahle to confirm that (I want to order 6) and the line just disconnects. Can anyone confirm that the PC-34 is correct for the 914-6? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) PC 34 red filter is the original spec for 914/6 and 911 1970-71 and made by Purolator and Porsche branded, appearing they were supplied over the counter by dealers back then. From memory the Mahle OC 61 is the same fitment but a larger filter from later 911 motor,thats would I have on my motor and my spare is the same,so thinking the OC 59 will be the same ? as John mentioned. |

I believe there was at least one thread about oil filters not long ago. One recommendation from that was WIX 51515XP which I currently have on my -6. Seems to be working fine.

Mahle is now made in China.
Porsche Classic Purolator is made in Germany. If that matters to you. Just confirmed the above with Stoddard (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/white914.jpg) |

Thanks all. 6 PC-34 on the way. I try to avoid the China-made junk when possible. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

OC-61 currently, didn't know about the China made thing. Sucks, I think I have a stack of OC-61's.
