Will a oem fuel filter that fits a 90 300zx and 90 pathfinder fit on a 90 maxima? I ask that because the filter for the 300zx and pathfinder is bigger than the one for the maxima. I am getting it for free but I will like to know if it will work and fit in place.

 

I've seen this discussed before, and I'm pretty sure it will fit. You should search and check, you should find your answer farily soon.

 

Yup, they work. I've got one on my car right now.

 

i have a filter from a Z32 on my car now. i thought it was going to have to be zip-tied on, but the clip thing just bent perfect and it fits great.

 

Nice, I have to change mine soon. How much did the filter run you ?

 

$10ish i think.

 

Sweet, Thanks.

 

I know the 84-89 z31's work, it's what I'm using now, but will the 90's? I think that's when they changed the engine style, every search I did came up with 84-89 using the VG...

 

i'm using one from a Z32. i dont think theres a difference between the two (NA and TT) but i asked for the TT one anyway.

 

Z32 filter is what I'm using. no worries.

 

matt, any recommendations on oil filters? i'm currently using mobil 1 w/regular dino oil.
any ideas on switching to synthetic? i have 163.5K and was thinking like a quart of mobil 1 synthetic per oil change (1 syn, 3.5 or whatever dino, then 2 syn..etc...).

 

Just wondering whats the advantage of using a 300ZX fuel filter opposed to a stock VG fuel filter?

 

Its big, therefore it looks cool.

 

flow more fuel if needed? i dont know, its the same price as the regular max one so why not?

 

i've heard that it lasts twice as long as the stock fuel filter.

 

it's bigger, so it allows for more flow with less pressure drop/restriction.
no need unless you're modded enough that you need a higher flow filter.
