The Mobil 1 #110 is just a longer version of the # 108 which is the same size as factory. If you check the various filter guides, you will see that there are generally 2 filters that fit the VQ35 engine family (and of course the new VQ37 engines) I figure the larger one has more media surface area to filter with but isn't so grossly over sized so as to cause any pressure issues. Nissan says either size are OK for those engines, I'd rather go larger.

So I just went with Pennzoil plAtinum and a k&n filter. It was so cheap at Walmart. Lol
Also car is running cooler.

While I'm still only sitting at 500 miles, when the time comes I'll be using Mobil 1 synthetic and the Mobil 1 filter.

I've used this combo on the Altima and Maxima I owned so I feel pretty comfortable with it.

I forgot to mention I'm buying the Castrol Edge at Walmart too. It's way cheaper than the auto stores. You can get the cheaper 5 QT jug too.

The advantage to the Advanced Auto Parts deal is you get a premium filter as well. Current deal is running for 5qt Castrol Edge + K&N filter for $32.99. I choose the HP-1010 which is the extended version of the HP-1008. The filter goes for $14 by itself!

I personally like Amsoil, but they are expensive

Ya if you catch Autozone or whatever store when they are promoting that brand it's a good deal for sure. I use that GTR filter too. If you can't get that deal Walmart FTW.

Last week I changed the oil in my Z for the first time. I chose Greddy GR-3 oil and Fram Tough Guard filter.
