TL;DR No SAE J1858 or ISO 16889 test data · the 97%-efficiency claim cites no test method; conventional-oil rated to 5,000 miles. BITOG cut-open found the nitrile ADBV functional but flagged bypass valve air leakage and a rough thread flange; three used examples at 6,500 miles showed no damage.
Spin-on cellulose filter with a confirmed nitrile ADBV, rated for 5,000-mile conventional-oil service. No SAE J1858 or ISO 16889 test data · the 97%-efficiency claim names no test method. BITOG cut-open found uniform pleating but flagged sloppy glue, a rough thread flange, and bypass valve air leakage; three used examples at 6,500 miles showed no damage. Fitment spans Nissan, Infiniti, Mazda, Honda, and Acura with no documented thread-mismatch failures. Thread size M20 × 1.5 per ecogard.com; Amazon's M16 × 1.5 entry is a known data error.
Right pick for Nissan/Infiniti owners doing standard 5,000-mile conventional-oil changes who want a broad-fitment economy filter. Skip for full-synthetic extended-drain programs · conventional-oil rated only. Note: Amazon Add-on Item requiring a qualifying minimum order.
No chemical exposure pathway · passive spin-on accessory, no SDS. Spent filters contain residual motor oil; drained filters are accepted at most auto parts stores. Steel canister is recyclable as ferrous scrap.
The X4612 covers a wide Nissan/Infiniti fitment list including the Altima 2.5L (2004·2021), Rogue 2.5L (2008·2022), Sentra 1.8L (2000·2019), Murano 3.5L (2004·2021), Pathfinder 3.5L (2004·2020), and many more Nissan and Infiniti models. It also covers Mazda 3/6/CX-5 (2.0L/2.5L, 2012·2021) and Honda/Acura applications cross-referenced to HONDA 15400-PM3-004 and related OEM numbers. Always verify your exact year and engine in Amazon's confirmed-fit tool before ordering.
The X4612 uses M20 × 1.5-6H thread per the ECOGARD spec page. the product spec table lists M16 × 1.5, but that is a known database error · M16 × 1.5 is the thread size for Honda/Toyota filters and does not match the Nissan/Acura applications this filter is designed for. Community fitment reports for primary Nissan and Infiniti applications show no thread-mismatch issues.
The product title and manufacturer label say 'for Conventional Oil' with a 5,000-mile service interval. Amazon feature bullets also say 'Built for both Synthetic and Conventional Oils,' which is inconsistent with the primary labeling. The conservative and authoritative position is the product title: this filter is rated for conventional oil at 5,000-mile intervals. If you run a full-synthetic extended-drain program, use a filter explicitly rated for that interval and media type.
Yes · as of June 2026, the single-pack (B00AKEV88O) is an Amazon Add-on Item, meaning it requires a qualifying minimum order or an active Subscribe & Save subscription to purchase standalone. The 12-pack (B0FD7ZPYT8) may have different availability. Subscribe & Save offers a 5% base discount (10% tiered).
A BITOG forum cut-open of an unused X4612 noted the nitrile ADBV as soft and pliable with no defects, and the pleats as uniform, but flagged a 'sloppy glue job' and air leakage past the bypass valve, along with a rough thread flange. Separate community data from three used filters (each run 6,500 miles) showed no internal damage at cut-open. Community consensus is that the X4612 is a serviceable economy-tier filter safe to use at 5,000-mile conventional-oil intervals.
