I'm confused, I have three oil filters and it's time for oil changes. I have a 2012 and 2016 Apex, as well as a 2003 RX1. The filters I have are 5GH-13440-70-00, 5GH-13440-71-00, and a 5GH-13440-60-00. The 70 and 71 I have marked Apex and the 60 is unmarked. When I check these part numbers they do not list my sleds. How did I get these???? They list motorcycle applications or 2018 Apex. Are these current replacements for the 5GH-13440-00-00?

Starting with my 03 RX-1 and continuing with my 08 Apex and 18 Apex, I have been using Napa Gold 1358 filters; they're same as the Wix #51358. As for your part numbers, unless I'm mistaken, the difference you are noticing (ie. 5GH-13440-XX-00) are revisions to that part number so I would suspect the 71 being the most current revision.

I also use the wix 51358. This filter meets the bypass valve specs for the sled as the 13440 does. Wix makes a very good filter no question.Starting with my 03 RX-1 and continuing with my 08 Apex and 18 Apex, I have been using Napa Gold 1358 filters; they're same as the Wix #51358.
