where can i order online?..

i have a 97 max what engine model is it? as the thread provides to only certain ones.

 

A '97 Maxima is VQ30DE.

If you go to the K&N or Mobil 1 site, it'll guide you to the correct filter for your car. Googling may also help.

For the K&N it's the HP-1010.

A K&N can be ordered just about anywhere online. The Mobil 1 filters were a pain to find online. I gave up and bought the filter and the oil at the local AutoZone.

 

Good filter for the 5.5 gen



Oil....

 

bump.. i'm trying to order k&n filters for a few cars, about 4-5, and trying to find a deal online. anybody know where they will do free shipping to hawaii?

thanks...

 

The k&n hp-1010 seems larger than the amsoil sdf-13 one.. it shoudl be okay right? 97 max.. i did a serach on k&n site and it was the same. just thought to mention it..

 

stick with nissan oem filters. Jerry Rome Nissan website with "Maxima" discount is cheaper than free shipping.
use the oil weight your manual/oil cap states. in Hawaii, I'm sure 10-30 will be fine. In PA I use 5W-30 year round. that's what it asks for and we have cold -10 deg winters and hot 100 deg summers.
