Aftermarket companies do. And to say that not using OEM filters voids a warranty is like saying that there is no filters made that will. (Part of the ruling from the courts.)

I suggest you go elsewhere. They're telling you a lie (and they should know it).

Yea, unfortunatley most dealers are crap nowadays.....

My dealer originally told me that their oli filter was the only one that would fit a 370z. LOL
