Nissan Oil Filter Teardown
Hi All,
Below are images of the oil filter I buy regularly from my Nissan Dealer, it's used on my 370Z. I wanted to see what quality the filter was that I am paying about 8.00 for. One item of note is I used several HDD Neo magnets on the outside of the can to trap any ferrous material. I had 5 Neo magnets on the outside of the can, and the last photo shows how much metal each magnet grabbed. This filter was working with Mobil1 Extended Performance, I don't beat the car, launch or drag strip or track it, just a DD. This oil was removed at 3700 miles just as the factory states (even though it could have gone up to 10K...I know). I purposely changed the oil before it got dirty just to see how much metal was being trapped. I'm back to 5W30 PYB, what was I thinking...! I thought you all would like to see the inside of a Nissan Filter. Enjoy!

The last one is the metal caught?
That's barely any, I expected something to be honest. I used 2 HDD magnets. I'm surprised others don't or that they buy filter mags when HDD magnets are nearly free and/stronger

hehe I magneted teh S**t out of it this time, I'm starting to enjoy it....It was only 3700 miles, so I guess it's par for the course. Next step is a UOA to see if the wear is within tolerance...
Yeah the metal caught was the same on each of the 5 magnets. Magnets were removed prior to uninstallation and teardown. May have been more. Last edited by Fountainhead; 05-02-2014 at 10:03 AM. |
