P Decal

#1 Post by Eric McKinley »

Has anyone seen this decal being used on the oil filter housing.

What type of filter is it specific for and the location on the housing.

Many Thanks in advance.

Here’s a reference article to that sticker ... https://porsche356registry.org/article/230

The curious part would be knowing when Porsche first created and started using that logo.

I bought one from the shop mentioned. It’s a sticker and not a water slide decal as the original appears to be. I used it on my oil filter and it looks okay.

Many parts have that P in a triangle. Seems to be an attempt by Porsche to keep aftermarket parts from being passed off as Genuine. The mark was first registered in the US in 1968 so it is not "authentic" for anything on a 356 -- on late 912 perhaps.
