Don't be an a$$hole, just answer his question...


Your filter is down by your right front wheel under the plastic splash guard. It's mounted horizontially, and very small. Once you get under the car, it's pretty easy to see...

First of all, I didn't think I was being an a$$hole. Is there not a seperate forum for I35 questions? Would someone not say the same thing to me if I went in there and asked them where the oil filter was in a 5th gen Maxima? Yes and yes.

Second, if Ice or TimW had have been the one telling him about the I35 forum would you have been so quick to shoot your mouth off calling them an a$$hole? Doubt it. So take your own advice.

If its the same motor as my '03 Max, the filter is located right next to the passenger side front wheel. Just jack it up and get under the car and you will see it. I usually use 10-30 in this cold weather, I live on the East Coast...

I don't think he was being an A Hole. I would have said the same thing. Less work for moderators and keep this forum organized.
