Is the Mobil 110 filter a larger/longer size that fits the Z? I was just asking cause I thought the correct filter was 108. I still can't believe how small our filters are.

Just because no one mentioned it, I use Castrol Edge so far with K&N filter. Where are you guys getting the German Castrol?

My last car (E46 M3) had special oil: Castrol Motorsport 0-60. That was German oil I beleive and you had to get it from the dealer. There were some that would sell you them for about $9 a quart. I guess I just went with Castrol out of habit from the last car hoping some of the same magic from the M3 oil goes into Edge lol.

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.
