my Max got 173500 miles and im the second owner of this car ... the other was a girl so i think its has been never changed haha , anyway nissan dealer say that its a ''lifetime filter'' loll so why the air filter is not ''lifetime'' haha everything have a limits

it's not the exact same engine...5th gen has the DE-K.

it is basically the same and more alike than different...Looking back on it they save $$$ doing the FF that way.

Did you get an O-ring?

that's like saying the 6th and 7th gen maximas should have interchangeable doors since it's basically the same car...

My point is it's not the same engine. Your point is that it's "close enough"...well sorry bud, but there's obviously SOME reason that Nissan changed the fuel filter from the 4th to 5th gens...if I had to guess, it was because of a lower cost and the ABS system interfered too much (fuel filter on 4th gens with ABS is a biitch and a half to do apparently, from reading the forums).

Return vs returnless fuel systems , that's the entire reason for the FF change.

I bet the change was for manufacturing efficiency. One install process for fuel pump, float assembly and fuel filter vs 3 install processes, one for each of the separate items.

no i the fuel pump O-ring was not included

hi guys i finally receive my fuel filter ... the O-ring for the fuel pump was not included but i installed it anyway and keep the old one .. it was not cracked or dry, looks like it was good ...

for the job its took me 30 mins.. i was taking my time and i clean the dirt that was in the bottom of the pump for the strainer (some little metal and sand)

i open up the old filter with my grinder hehe and wanted to show you a 173 500miles ''NISSAN LIFETIME FILTER'' looks like

you can clearly see the difference between the interior brown and the exterior black haaha lifetime my a$$ heheeh
