I know there are a lot of orgers trusting in Mobile-1 oil filters. However, has anyone attempted to use the following filters? And what are your feelings about them.

Bosch Part# A6000-30788 $4.50
Denso Part# A6000-116744 $7.20
Advantex Part# A6000-109989 $5.07

They were listed in the Nissan Maxima section from Drivewire.com.

 

In reference to the mobil-1 oil filter, whats the part number for that filter?

Thanks

 

I used the Fram filter before I switched to Mobil 1. It's bigger than the stock filter if you want more filter media.

 

I use K&N oil filter. HP1010 is the part# for 2k Max

 

OEM oil filter works just fine. other's just cost more. you can get an OEM filter for as low as $5.

 

Visit the fluid & lubricants section here. Bill has a nice write up on all of the filters, which ones to buy and which ones to not buy. Most people aren't just buying the Mobil 1 filters for it's name, it's because of it's quality. Both K&N and Mobil 1 are made by Champion labs and both are better quality than any other filter on the market. Amsoil comes in just behind these.

 

I pay about $4 or less for the OEM filter and it's very good quality.

 

For the 3.5 you can use either M1-110 or M1-105.

 

I decided to use the STP S6941 oversized filter, seems to work...
Autozone sells the Mobil 1 filter too, so I could pick either one (Mobil 1 or STP)

 

yeah, but your tires are going to fall off. by the way, i use the oem 15208-9E000. my dealer allows me to buy 3 or more and get discounts along with free copper gaskets.

 

I don't think you should be giving anyone advice on changing oil.

 

i see how it is. i forget to refill oil in the car just a few times and everyone jumps on my back. it was dark and late at night and i couldnt see anything anyways. besides i did not charge them a thing.

 

I bet the tow truck driver and repair shop charged them plenty.

 

I'm guessing you have an 00-01? That filter is too big for the 02-03... turn the wheel all the way to the left. Hear that nice rubbing sound? That's the filter rubbing into the wheel liner.

 

Which is stipulated in the oil filter sticky post as being a potential issue on VQ35s. But not all VQ35 owners report this issue when using this filter. It seems to almost be dependent on what day your car was made. :gotme"
