I'm currently in the process of ordering 50. I don't want to run into the same problem I had with my Z and the 60U00. Once my order is placed, I'll reveal my source.

 

Sounds good. Is it DaveB?

 

no, I just stumbled across it, they're having a problem with their order processing system right now. If I had it ordered, I'd reveal my source. I just want to make sure I have my 150k mile supply before revealing. Hope you understand.

 

Here you are, as promised

oh crap, that says nippon....same thing, right?

sure hope so, I've got 50 on the way

 

Hahaha, I think I screwed up. I think I'll cut one open when I get it to ensure that it is a good part before I install it on the vehicle.

 

You don't need 50 oil filters for 150K, particularly if you use synthetic oil.

 

Interesting...

 

I'll cut one open as soon as they come in, and post pics.

 

go to the link and see the pic of the filter, it definitely says NIPPON

 

lol

thanks sherlock

 

NP Dr Watson, have a NIPPIN time using fake nissan filters made in China ALL 150 of them....genius

 

Have you actually cut one open to see what it consists of? Are you sure that they aren't manufactured at the same factory, and stamped with different names? Who knows? I plan to investigate, and if it isn't of the same quality as the Nissan filters, I'm out $100. No big deal.

All I was trying to say was that I recognized that they were Nippon filters long before you brought it to my attention, and if you took the time to read the rest of the thread you would have seen that.

That's why I called you "Sherlock"

 

Got my Nippon filters in today...man that was fast.

I bought a nissan oem filter for comparison and cut em both open. The Nippon looks quite good, acutally. I think I'll use em. I can't post pics now as I am at work, but I will start a new thread tonight when I get home

I'm pleasantly surprised.

 

Just post in here. No need for a new thread.
