Just hit 123456 and changed oil with a BIG filter
Well just changed my oil and hit 123456 miles... kinda odd seing it..lol
Also, BILL I used the stp S6941 oil filter and worked and FIT
I bought the maxima stp filter as well... just in case the new filter did not fit
If your still using a maxima oil filter.. STOP.. this thing is about 2 times the size of our "normal" ones. I can't imagine how much better this is going to work
Just wanted to say thanks bill, you did something nice and I am telling the world..LOLOLOLOL

www.Motorvate.ca has a great comparison of a nissan oil filter and some other brand oil filter. At least Nissan made their filters right.

Cool....welcome to the mid-90s Porsche oil filter club.

That's hard to quantify. Based upon Baldwin's oil filter spec's, the surface area on the 6941 is a good bit bigger than a conventional VQ oil filter.

You are only ruining my reputation. STOP IT!

With the S6941 I had a hard time finding anything out but flow rates, which is the same as other acceptable VQ filters such as the 6607 and 7317......
