i installed an oil filter for the vq30 97 maxima.. what i didnt realize until now is that i should have gotten one for a vq35 =/ whats the worse that can come of this mistake ?

 

It shouldnt matter as long as the filter fits well.

You can check at like wal mart or checkers or whatever, they have the books.

If its wrong, just replace it with the correct one and make sure you have enough oil in there.

 

yah i checked, i bought a k n hp1010, the motor calls for a hp1008 =/ fit fine.. and when i worked at a nissan dealership.. nearly every nissan vehicle got the same filter, so im guessing its fine, just want to make sure.

 

VQ35 filter is a little shorter than the VQ30. It will not affect your car. I have used both. No worries mate.
Maxima (A32B) calls for a 15208-9e000 which is VQ30DE.

 

Your fine, just because it lists only one part number doesnt mean there are not other filters that can be used; I have a Honda filter on my car right now.

 

i think you should be just fine,just as it fits properly.

 

IIRC you could have used a 300zx Oil filter as well.

 

Whats the difference between that one and the maximas?

 

VTAC 10charc

 

I think your thinking about the Fuel Filter, but you could be right with the Oil filter as well

 

The 4th gen oil filters ok...
Yeah when i was at honda there was one filter for all models. I worked on 90-07 vehicles.4cly/6cyl to hybrids same s$i%.lol

 

heh, ya, Honda has two oil filters, one for the S2k and one for everything else. I dont know what, if anything about the Honda filters is better than Nissan ones, but at the time I got them for $2 from my friend. I have yet to open one up or do any research into them.

 

Probably a re-post. But for those that haven't seen this it's an interesting read if nothing else. And I know there are as many opinions on oil filters as there are on oil and other consumables. And yes I know the link references MCs.

Ur good, it sound liek u already have the right filter. The vq35 oil filters were made for the next generation maxima's with the bigger 3.5 liter motor. If the filter fits, ur good!
