But on the other hand, I haven't had any problem removing any of the K&N filters I installed myself hot, it was only the initial factory one that was such a bitch to loosen. Another random oil-change related update: I installed K&N's HP-1010 during my oil change this evening, and it works fine. This is identical to the usually-recommended HP-1008, but it's longer (so you get more filter surface area from it). It fits with plenty of clearance even on top of Mocal's SP1FT thermostatic sandwich plate (for an oil cooler). |

The easiest way to remove the (any) oil filter is to use a band oil filter wrench………$3-4.00 from a NAPA store. I’m sure any auto part store carries it! It looks like this………….
GA333B, Wrench, Oil Filter, Band w/handles (2 7/8" to 3 1/4" filter diameter) |

Here is my method for changing the 370Z’s oil since I have the Sport Package………….I own a floor hydraulic jack. I swapped out the jack’s contact plate with an optional slotted insert ($5 @ CARQUEST) that mirrors the Nissan part # S-NT001 (Safety Stand Attachment) from the service manual page GI-30. This insert has a shaft like the original contact plate and slides into the jack’s arm. I jack up the car and then place my regular steel wheel ramp under the wheel! Ditto for the other side. Very simple…………

I changed my 370Z with sport package at approx. 3500 miles this weekend. I was able to slide my oil catch can under My 379Z without jacking up the front end and was able to spin off the oil filter with a rubber glove. I went with Redline oil (5w-30) and a carquest (made by WIX)
