Nissan oil filter is made by Mahle?

Hrmm... maybe I should just start purchasing Nissan filters. I've used a variety of filters through the years; mostly depending on the stock at whatever store I'm at when I need one.

I have found more independent/individual studies on filters than on oil. Fram are crap. Pure 1, Mobil 1, K&N, Nissan, Toyota are a few do the good ones. IMHO, your premium oil needs a premium filter.

I stopped using Nissan filters when they switched production to China, and more specifically, to cardboard end caps. Wix are all I use now, on all my cars.
