Just stumbled on this thread over at 6mt.net:

Hmm, interesting...

 

I've been saying this for awhile now, its basically a fram filter

 

I think this should be in the engine section and not in the sedan and coupe sections. Someone cut/paste the post and pictures.

 

i use the m1 filter

 

why da heck are you on 6mt o.p, that place is dead

 

I dunno, I stumbled on that thread somehow

 

Yeah you can almost see the tumbleweeds sometimes...

 

Thanks for the heads up, I've never used OEM Nissan filters and now I understand why. Like most of us that really care about our cars I use K&N
oil filters along with synthetic oil (Red Line) and change it more frequently than Nissan advises.

 

fram ftw

 

fram filters are garbage..im pretty sure walmart owns fram.nuff said

 

fram ftw

 

Purolator Pure 1 - #14610 see Bob is the Oil Guy web site. testing shows top results - ~$6 in AutoZone

 

WIX filters FTW

 

Don't get to hung up on oil filters as I've used oem Nissan filters on my 318,000 mile 90Q for the past 18.4 years [except 2 M1 and 1 Pure 1] the other 80 were oem Nissan.

If you follow oem recommendations to change oil every 90 days or 3,750 miles to maximize engine longevity the oem is fantastic.

The tiny oem sump means frequent changes even with synthetics so why bother except in the 90 day winter period or extreme desert heat locations.

All of our fleet of high mile Q and LS400 [some have reach 420,000+] use the oem filters
