This must be a repetetive question... But can be fit larger oil filters on the 3.5 engine? If so, what are the positives/negagtives?

thanks

 

I used a FRAM filter that is maybe an inch longer which means more filter media. I can't think of any negatives except maybe a little harder to install.

 

Just because the filter is larger does not mean it filters better or can trap more dirt. Thats a completely false judgement. It's all about the filtering media and the number of pleats which determins the filtration area and micron rating.

 

Sorry, I just assumed a bigger filter has more filter media. Next time I'll do a scientific study before I give my opinion.

 

I use the mobil 1 m1-105, it is huge compared to the m1-110 that i usually use.

 

what is the price difference and do you notice any differences?

 

Price is the same, I have 12 of the M1-105's in a box and they hold aa good 100% more oil than the M1-110.

 

I just changed my oil this weekend and went from an M1-110 to an M1-105. The 105 costs the same and is much bigger...it actually fits the VQ35 perfectly!!

Edit - thanks to bill99gxe for the oil and filter recommendation FAQ in the fluids forum.

 

Where do you guys find Mobil at? On the web only or do any parts stores carry them?

 

The only place around me that carries Mobil 1 filters is Autozone.

 

E-BAY also.

 

autozone's where i get my mobil 1 oil and filter....

 

Thanks guys.

The AutoZone by my house closed down. I think there is one near where I work. I check it out at lunch.

 

Yeah the only reason i switched to the 105 was because i heard it is supposed to be better. i bought mine from autozone.

 

i use the 110 for my 2k--will the 105 fit the 2k?

 

No.
