You could try GI Joe's if you have one. But be prepaired to pay full tilt retail. Amsoil is not a chain store sold oil. You usually have to go to an authorized dealer. you can probably find on in you local yellow pages. But don't know what pricing they will give. Hence the link above.

There are only a couple variables that come into play when designing a filter, size, thread, and bypass springrate. All of these are either obtained from nissan by the aftermarket filter makers, or easily determined from measurements. It doesn't take a PhD to copy a filter design, they are relatively simple devices, and alot of the aftermarket companies actually improve on the OEM filter by using more robust products or better filtering. You don't back up any of your arguments with any actual proof, while I did.

Anyway…where is your proof again? I read it twice and found no scientific/technical proof with anything you wrote. I can only speculate that you consider your incomplete generalization of filter design, and your half-a$$ statement about how easy it would be to reproduce an OEM oil filter as “proof.” I love all the “proofs” you have provided. Many thanks smart guy and have a nice day.

Mobil 1 Synthentic oil.............
I've been using Mobil 1 for 125K miles on my previous car without any issues
and 14K miles with my G. The only filter I use is K&N and the oil gets changed
every 2K miles or every 90 days which ever comes first.......overkill you say,
but that's what I do!

Mobil 1 15k oil with mobil 1 filter change every 10,000 miles. I am FI too and have'nt had any issues so far. I check the oil frequently and level or color hasnt changed much. The key is the filter though; you need the mobil 1 filter if you plan on having long intervals between changes. Its not cheap too, like 15 bux.

I just think running the pure synthetic is going to be easier on the wear and tear of your engine in the long run. But it does sting to drop around $60 in parts everytime you have to go get an oil change!
