Yep I noticed it was oil filter too. Wix at rockauto seems dirt cheap... so if the first site is crap ill be ordering from rock.

Thanks for the feed backs!

2 filters for 16?! If its legit Nissan and not aftermarket its a steal

I just called them and the guy was somewhat conflicted on the phone. He assured me they were indeed original factory parts (since they are actually a dealership), but that the website price is for a single filter, not a pair. Then when I pressed him bit on it and asked what would happen if someone ordered the pair for $16.05 as shown on the website, he said they would get the pair.

SO . . . I asked again if it was for the pair at $16.05 then and he said yes, it is for the pair.

I'm guessing they made a goof on the website and the price should really be for the pair, but they are obliged to honor the pricing as posted on the website. As I see it, it may be a limited window of opportunity here until they fix their website listing. THAT, or else they may just send you an email explaining their mistake and offering you the chance to cancel the order. Seems like there's not too much downside here.

Sorry, at least I tried.

If you order a few sets of the Wix from RockAuto, it spreads the shipping costs out a little better, so they end up being around 8 bucks each.

^^ Actually, I think that price is as it should be; it's the $18 a piece pricing that's whack.

Holy christ rock auto is no joke... It took a day before it got to me... and it was with the cheapest shipping lol.

The Wix filters fit a little bit more snug than OEM, but that's good since it insures that there's no loose space for debris to get in and the tight seal will filter stuff out.

Those aren't too good. If you want to shop in Canada you can get OEM's at autopartsway.ca for $19. I usually order a couple things for each car and then shipping is free too. Items always arrive in one or two days tops.
