So basically that fairly small piece of covering behind the front passenger tire, that covers the oil filter, has fallen off my car. They want 60 bucks for it at Nissan, but I wonder if anyone knows where I could get one.

Looking for it at places online is tough because I don't know exactly what to call the piece or how to search for it.

Any thoughts?

 

is that that black (slightly) flexible plastic covering between the road and the oil filter (plus stuff around it)?

 

Thats it Exactly

 

Splash gaurds? You can find them cheap from people parting out their cars.

 

Part out or junkyard. Aftermarket is not going to make something like that.

 

junk yard to spare your wallet some raping.

 

Where do I find someone who might have one?

 

right here is a good resource, just try the 4th gen classifieds section.. you may even want to get in touch with fanaticrockford. he is an excellent seller, and usually is parting out maximas..

Make sure you get one fast. There was a thread, maybe couple of months back saying some dude lost his and ended up with a huge dent in his oil filter from all the crap on the road.

 

Yeah I'm mostly worried about all the water that gets up in there
