Nissan OEM Filter Manufacturer
Does anyone know what company manufactures the OEM Nissan oil filter for Nissan? I want to use the OEM filter but not at the marked up dealer price. Thanks in advance.

Why do you question it? Someone has to make them for Nissan. Do you think they make every part that goes into their cars?

Good find! I use rockauto for brake pads and others but never thought about buying oil filters there. Their part #s at rockauto are identical as Nissan OEM part #s and I just ordered 8 of them. I have one Nissan filter left at home, so when I receive them, I will compare Nissan one with rockauto one. But it is most likely that they are identical.

The Nippon oil filter at Rock Auto is not the Genuine Nippon. If you look closely at the picture you will see the two dots inside the 'O' The part number on the packaging is gimmick. I actually bought 10 of those. The quality is probably okay. It looks decent, but hard to tell for sure from the outside. But it is not as good as the Nissan Oil filter. The Rock oil filter's anti drain back valve is black ruber, not orange like Nissan's.

i think you're suppose to replace the washer every 2 oil changes. i think i read that somewhere, but not positive. i have mine on for a few oil changes already. no leaks or anything. but i have a spare just in case.

Oh people cmon...$2.22 vs $5.63....Is it really worth the time to look. I think the last time I took my car into Mr. Lube and have them put a Nissan OEM filter (I'm guessing you guys are talking about oil), it was $6CDN i think. Just don't eat out for lunch one day...you've saved your money for an oil filter

There are people around here who don't put in 91 octane to save 10cents/gallon... everyone's got their reasons. Moreover, this would be an interesting find!

I have been accused of putting up the BS flag a tad early before but not this time. What makes you think you are getting a Nissan OEM filter at a Mr. Lube in Ottawa? I have just confirmed with the two highest-volume Mr. Lube's in British Columbia that you would be getting a Kralinator 266 filter. The Canadian head office is in Toronto and Mr. Lube uses that filter across Canada in a 4th Gen Maxima.
Nice try, but better luck next time!

I suppose you've got some controlled test results to show that the WIX filter is better than the OEM one?

I am lying, there is actually a Motorcraft filter on there right now cause I ran out of the OEM's last change. I will post pics though tonight.
