Besides the Nissan OEM type...

 

Honda filters fit.

 

So if i go to autozone/Kragen will they have them?

 

I would use general motors instead

 

I use napa premium filters on all my cars in whatever the stock size is.

 

same here. theyre made by Wix.

 

I never change mine, just flush & re-use...

 

 

Mobil 1.

 

Bosch Premium. Built like a Mobil 1 filter but half the price. (They were in fact identical, but last year Mobil1 updated a little bit. Whether the Mobil1 actually got any better is not clear)

Purolator.

 

I'll be using Purolator Pure One PL14610 on the Maxima and my wife's new Subaru since they are interchangeable.

 

Nissan OEM, Purolator PureOne, WIX, Napa Gold

Avoid Fram like the plague!

 

Mobil M-110 always!

 

Do you say this from personal experience, or because you've read about it? I've never understood the problem with Fram, my dad used nothing else for 260k miles on his car with no problems.

 

Mobil One thats all she likes...

 

Wix or 9E000 (dunno y u dun want it) or napa gold... just not fram

 

been using nissan for a while, but these past 2 changes, ive been using mobile 1. nissan dealer getting to far for me to drive

 

Amsoil oil filter

 

It is common knowledge on this website to avoid Fram.

Made in Mexico, cardboard end caps, poorer filtration. Need I say more!

 

Amsoil or mobil 1, depending on what is available.

 

FRAM ToughGuard

 

I only will use OEM in my car for as long as I have her with Amsoil Full Synthetic.

 

Nippon 9E000, maker of Nissan filters

Purolator GOLD

 

What damage can come from over filling oil?

Get the OEM filter and be done

Here's proof why http://www.motorvate.ca/mvp.php/515

 

I use the Purolator PureOne. I'd get the OEM but I usually like to change my oil on a whim when it's about time and stop at the local parts store to pick up a filter.

The only 3 filters I'd use are:
OEM Nissan
Purolator Pureone
Mobil M-110

 

If the oil level is high enough to reach the crankshaft, it breaks down into a foam. Foam does not protect the engine.

 

Don't buy the OEM 9E000 any more, they are now poor quality and have cardboard end caps as well.

 

It seems that Fram Tough Guard is very cheaply made compared to others in the price range such as Purolator Premium, Supertech, ACDelco, and STP.

It does not mean that using them will make your engine die sooner. It's just that the cheap way they are made makes them more prone to failure.

Fram Tough Guard and especially Extended Guard filters are very well regarded in build quality.

 

It seems to me that using a good oil filter is akin to using a good condom.

Better to be safe than sorry!

 

k... if u love Fram... go head...
One day... when u changing oil for some car with a bad oil filter spot, and u cant see the o-ring contact surface, and u forgot feel it with yr fingers.... u might have a BIG problem....
because the previous "HIGH QUALITY FRAM" o-ring sticked on that contact surface, and u did not realize da you doubled the o-ring when u put yr new oil filter on....

OIL EVERYWHERE is what u will get in return.......


That experience is good enough to ban Fram in my life...

 

not to mention the blah blah end cap... whatever....

just compare the O-ring with yr OEM filter...
then price: $ 6.99CDN(no washer ) $ 8.59CDN (washer included)
less then $3 difference... u decide...

 

OEM, or mobil

 

This is the filter I'm now using. I still have one Nissan OEM filter left, but Nissan has cheapened the construction of this filter, and I will buy no more of them.

The M-110 is larger than the OEM filter and needs about 1/2 a quart more motor oil to fill the engine oil sump to the full level.

 

Amsoil, M1 or K&N. The K&N and Mobil filters are basically the same filter.
