Any difference between OEM fuel filter and aftermarket?
Is there any difference btw the oem and aftermaket? I'm planning to change it with an aftermarket 300z fuel filter from autozone. Any comments?

What's the advantage of having this filter?

Big difference - don't spare the few bucks, go to the dealer and get the OEM. One time there was a web site where someone had split open two filters, OEM and another one to show the difference and I was surprised - the OEM had a better valve to keep the oil up and many other important parts that were simply made better. As you probably know the oil after 3000 miles is fine but the filter is almost more important to filter the junk.

hmm, the filter you mention is the oil filter, not the gas filter. The website did a comparison on the oem oil filter to an aftermarket. Here's the link:

I also read the gas filter, but there wasn't any comparison. Here's the gas filter article:
