This oil filter is designed to fit the GTR but also fits the 370 and is longer than the one specified for the 370.

Awesome, thanks for the links. You never had a leaking problem with this particular K&N oil filter? Just asking cause under the reviews it seemed to be prevalent

I have been using K&N filters on numerous cars for more than 25 years and never had a problem. I abuse my cars also.

By the way -- do not forget to replace the crush washer on the drain plug.

The flat side goes against the oil pan.

Do not over-tighten.

Yes. Look carefully at the washer. One side is flat and the other s the part that gets crushed. Orient the washer with the flat side against the oil pan

Is this the side you consider flat? It's the side I put to the pan.
