i never said its exactly 5". i estimated it by measuring how long 2.5" was



and this is a good link for you

well, you're still wrong becuz its 3.25 inches...not, "it's like 5 inches" (even with the LIKE emphasized)

 

was too lazy to measure exactly

3 new filters FTW. $60 in value



lol j/k just bored !

 

Bosch. I use Bosch.

 

Not sure if you've checked the link yourself but my posts are all over that place. So yea...I do know about that link.

 

Went to the Nissan dealer by work during my lunch break. I picked up the 15208-65F00 oil filter. It's approx. 2.75", shorter than the 9E000. Both part numbers are for our Maximas according to their computer. This will definitely work for me. They wanted $11 but I talked them down to $7.

Based on what I heard so far, the only 4th gens that have reported oil filter clearance issue are the 95/96's. Not sure why.

 

OEM is what I use. I hit 5000km really fast, so I doubt it matters that much.

 

i use either bosch or mobile...........where is the bar hitting the fliter......if it is to long, so to autozone and buy a m1-108 which is shorter. they both fit 100%

 

i use the k&n oil filter..im in good with the local parts store and we cut open fram and the k&n since fram is what a lot of people use and its really poor compared to the k&n but the clearance issue i have no clue..i also use the mobil1 supersyntec 15,000 mile oil

 

wix 51356 and castrol 10W40
old school!

 

Got royally screwed by some Framm ultra-mega-cool filter once - never again.

OEM $3.99 each - no minimum. It's a no brainer.

 

Does oil filter make difference?

I always buy oil filters from Nissan dealer. My local dealer always has "buy 3 get 1 free" discount. It's just 20 something dollars for four filters.

Oh, forgot to mention, each filter comes with a copper washer that can be used with oil pan drain plug(bolt).

 

I Use Fram 7317 and never had any problems. I have 119,000 miles and still have a really tight engine. It still runs like like new. I just changed the plugs after 85,000 miles and could have gone another 20,000 miles on them. I am running Bosch Platinium + 4's.

 

uh oh, i once suggested using bosch plugs when i first got on the org, and everyone started hating me. so ive been NGK ever since!

 

Fram

I'm not too worried though, I haven't had any problems yet and if It does cause something to go wrong, 3.5 time. My oil always looks fine when I change it, so i've had no reason to switch filters

 

USed to use Mobil 1, but figured with my dealership discount i can get OEM for like.....4 bucks

 

Fram and bosch...good combo

 

unless you see chunks of metal...looks mean absolutly nothing...

 

You aren't wrong. I paid $6.change for my filter like 3 weeks ago at my local nissan dealer. From now on, on this max and my next 4th gen, I'll be using the Nissan Filter.

 

Nissan Genuine OEM 15208-9E000 filter on both my 98's and my 02. my cost for the filters is like $3-4 each (i usually buy multiples).

 

Fram sucks.

 

.

 

i use OEM....

 

Are the Bosch premium ones any good? They can be had for around $5.

 

Problem solved, the oil filter is Nissan OEM 15208-65F00.

 

Perhaps a gander at the first page of the thread shall answer your inquiry.



























































Yes, I use them.

 

If you got a stock of 2002 or earlier their alright, after that their made in mexico...so their bad, before that they are nothing special

 

Usually keep a supply of OEM Nissan oil filters on hand, but at times have also had to use PureOne filters. Running 10w30 Catrol Syntec and the engine now has 218K miles.

 

how does the traction bar feel dennis?

 

I used to have mad wheel hops. Not anymore, these traction bars work! My only issue now is the tire rubbing on the passenger side bar. Perhaps now that I have plenty of clearance, I can remove a few more washers to bring the bar in. I'll have to try this early in the morning when its not so hot! Yo, I'm feeling like a mini-meet! My trip to the dessert got cancelled because of the extreme hot temp, don't wanna get heat stroke out there. Let me know!

 

haha sure i'm down, post it up on west coast...see if anybody else is down!

 

I like the Mobil 1 filters and oil. The Mobil 1 filter is 99.2% efficent whereas the K&N is only 90% efficent. But the K&N has a nut on top for easier removal. The Bosch filters are good too.

 

comon now, get a filter wrench and its just as easy with that nut, better yet if your cheap just stab a screwdriver through it and twist the screwdriver...or best yet just put it on without too much torque, and taking it off will be easy

 

I don't care about the nut on top of the K&N filter! I don't have any issues removing them whatsoever because I have one of these.........
