wassup Doc hows the SP-2 ? well i just used the oil filter that the oil place gave me im not sure it get real specific but if you back up to the "MAXIMA DISCUSSIONS" and scroll all the way down you will see the forum you need.

HOLLA WORD!!

 

^^^

Not correct. Go all the way back to maxima.org forums...the info will be in maintenence/fluids and lubricants. The OEM one that you get from the dealership is very popular.

 

Mobil M-110 (IIRC)

Why don't you check the little book at a store that sells the things?

 

I think he's asking for the best ones. Well that's what I got out of it.

 

Well the OEM works well, Or you could pay the money and get a nice WIX oil filter.

Proph

 

use oem filter only

 

dood..honestly..as long as you dont intend on goign over 4000 miles per oil change and go offroading.. any oil filter, cheap or expensive will do you fine. plus your using synthetic oil..so your good to go.

 

My bad dawg "my99maxisnice" is right you have to go back to the maxima.org forums sorry for spreading misinformation and lies im stupid

 

Most people have had good results using OEM filters. As Max Noob stated - they key is to do regular oil changes... if you have startup rattle (from the timing chain), some filters have better anti-drainback valves (the OEM one for example) than others.. in that case you may want to get the OEM...

 

If you got the money, use Mobile1

 

Mobil 1 filters are ridiculous in price!
STP makes a really good one.
I have heard shady things about the Fram ones.
OEM are good too.
I personally don't like to go to the stealership, so I just use the STP ones.

 

Purolator or Pep Boys ProLine work well too.

thanks for the words of wisdom fellas. i used the one at the valvaline quick change place. but i will def. get the oem from the dealership next time.
peace-
