Almost all Nissans have that stupid lip on them so you cannot put on a larger diameter filter but if the surface is flat it will work just fine. The gaskets as 12vDC stated are pretty much the same.

Here is a example, the B34 has the same gasket as the B233. and is just a little shorter than the B233.



2002 Corolla oil filter mount, There appears to be no lip and a little bit of space.



The BT223 is what the V6 engines run and is what is a direct fit on all the 4cly gas engines with no clearance issues.



I know you can go longer but wider you would have to check for clearance, I would go ahead and get the proper size because it the B233 does not fit your not without a vehicle waiting on the part.
doc, it was already installed by the mechanic in our innova. he said its ok and it doesnt leak. so im guessing that there are no fitment issues there. but just to be sure, i might ask the mechanic or my driver to double check it again.
