Unfortunately the search function on this site is still disabled. And I don't have an owners manual.

I prefer Mobil 1, AC Delco and Purolator oil filters. What are the part numbers of each that can be used in a 2003 Maxima? Additionally, are there larger (longer) filters available in each brand that can also be used?

Finally, what is the oil capacity for the engine?

Thanks.

 

PL-14459 & PL-24458 & PL-14620 and PL-14622 all fit the VQ35DE. I have a PL-24458 (largest) on my car now.
