Ok, why the hell didn't Infiniti or Nissan go with a larger oil filter? This has got to be the smallest one for 3.5L I have ever seen. Is there something here that I am not grasping? I've owned 2.0Ls that came with larger filters than this. I researched on here and the internet about going with a larger filter, and the consensus was that it didn't hurt and would provide better filtering capacity. I had been using the mobile 1 M108, but recently switched to the to the M1-110. They have the same diameter, only the 110 is 1/4 longer. So what I want to know is..... why the hell not???

 

You can get a bigger filter if you want, but the automotive scientists at Infiniti have determined that the filter designed for the G is a big as necessary to keep the oil clean for the established maintenance interval. Bigger is not necessary in this case.

 

alot of people are already using the m110 sized filter already anyways
