which oil filter is for 370z?
 

I've been using FRAM CH6607 oil filter, and i know it's size for 350Z, not for 370Z. I just couldn't find any other aftermarket oil filter than FRAM CH6607.
Does anyone know which product is suitable for 370Z?

Stay the **** away from Fram. Personally I like K&N filters.

+1, no fram. Walmart sell 'em, so you know they aren't all that great.

Wix, K&N, Mobil1...several others.

K&N and Mobil1 are the same manufacturer, difference is the casing for the K&N have a nut on the bottom, and the Mobil1 filters cost less. ;)

Don't Use Nissan OEM Oil Filters (Long Post - Lotsa Pics) - MyG37
nissan oil filter is basically a fram with a nissan name

uh oh, I used a fram with my RP change last week, the K&N was $14 no way! why no fram?

Fram makes (some of) the worst filters.

Would take too long to explain about Fram
 

However, if you talk to folks in the know or go to bobistheoilguy.com you will read more then you want about filters. The opinions vary but most all agree that Fram is not anywhere near the top and many are far better and don't cost an arm and a leg. Pure One is a good example. The Mobil 1, K&N and Amsoil are all very good but costly. A word of advise, don't try to save a few bucks on an oil filter every six or so months because the filter is what is keeping that expensive oil clean...

I'm using the 51365 Wix filter. I'll be upgrading to the larger 51356 Wix filter as it has a better beta ratio.

Wix make great filters, and I plan on using them in the future. Plus, they are about 8 bucks a pop.

I know everyone has there prefences on what oil filter is better and what's trash but keep this in mind if you follow the recomended oil changes that nissan recomends there aren't going to be any issues. Now if you do your own oil changes and decide to use an non nissan oil filter and that happens to fail don't cry when the dealer wont repair it under warranty but if you decide to use the nissan brand and it fails there isn't going to be an issue. just my two cents. and I know what are the odds.

FWIW, four oil changes to date (approx. 2,600, 6,000, 10,000 and 16,800 miles). Castrol GTX for the first two, Mobil 1 since then. Have used both Nissan and Bosch 3300 filters.

I use the K&N oil filer. the P# is HP-1008

I use K&N. I have heard nothing but horror stories about FRAM oil filters. You can use them on the Z I guess but be careful. My philosophy is that if you can afford a 35K car, $15-$20 oil filter is a reasonable investment.

A good filter isn't even 15 to 20 bux I spend 9 bux on my k&n

That actually is an instance where the Ferguson-Moss Act applies...in terms of the oil filter.

Using your own maintenance schedule...well, they can deny a claim based on that easily enough...but, using a different brand of oil filter isn't something they can stand on.

I don't think it would be warranted under the Magnusson-Moss Act. The act you are referencing only applies if the aftermarket part used is unrelated to the failure. For example, they can't void your warranty on lets say your transmission because you have a cold air intake. But if you have a cold air intake and your airflow sensor fails, they could argue that its not warranted.

Likewise if you have an aftermarket oil filter and it bursts causing oil loss and engine damage, then the part you used actually was the cause of the damage and probably wouldn't be warranted. That being said, I doubt a high quality oil filter like some of the ones mentioned would actually burst but it does happen on occasion.

Some owners are using the K&N HP-1010 which is longer that the HP-1008 but seems to fit fine. You should be able to find these for $9.00 on the web.

Purolator PureOne. The one for a '06 Honda Ridgeline is the extended capacity version of ours (It's a little longer). Should be $6 at your local autoparts store Should be gold textured finish that makes it so easy to get off i haven't even had to use a wrench on it (and yes it was put on tight all the tens of of oil changes I've done). Excellent Filter that is superior to the Mobil one (Car Craft or Hot Rod did oil tests and flow tests can't remember witch mag it was). Saves you money to buy some good RL or Motul 300v oil.

I'm using hte Mobil1 M1-110 instead of the Mobil1 M1-108 - same idea.

Mobil1 filters are the exact same as the K&N filters internally. The only difference is the white paint, higher price tag, and the welded on nut on the bottom of K&N. :)

WIX Oil FIlter
 

Hmm, I was inform that the WIX part no. 51358 is compatible with the 370Z according to the Amsoil web site. Does the WIX oil filter 51356 filter down to the typical 12 microns? Is their any change in the oil flow using the larger WIX filter?

Really? I didn't know that thet are the same...I'm using K&N, next time I go to the store I'm going to check the price difference.

Sorry to bring back an old post but if that's true I think others may be interested.

At least with K&N it is not necessary to use a chain wrench to remove the thing and get covered in oil when the casing splits !

I use the K&N HP 1010. Just walk into you friendly neighborhood parts store and ask for a filter for a 2009 Nissan GTR. The filter is about an inch longer than the stock 370Z filter.

I find it so funny that some people argue that paying $14 for an oil filter is stupid. I paid nearly $40,000 for my 2009 370Z, brand new. To me, the argument between using a $6 cheapie Fram filter and a $14 K&N is a moot point. I save money on filters and oil on my wife's Trailblazer so i can put only the best in my Z.

Advanced Auto Parts is running an oil change special, 5 quarts of Castrol Edge and a K&N filter of your choice for $29.99. Normally that would cost $55.

From the UAO reports it seems a decent oil.

yup, I still got 8 quarts of Valvoline left from their last special @ $26.99

I am still worried about aftermarket oil filter since they could change the oil pressure and flow characteristics. Also consider this, Nissan uses different filters for the same VQ motor, yet aftermarket has a one size fits all. THere must be a reason why Nissan did it. Is it so much filtering capability or is it more pressure drop? Usually a bigger filter will drop your pressure slightly.

Does Nissan have a special oil filter similar to TRD? I know I can buy a TRD filter for my Toyota that is thicker and have a metal casing instead of paper. Does Nissan sell a briefer version of the filter that is meant for the Z, not other cars?

With all that said, I am running a K&N because it was on special with the Valvoline two months back :)

I was looking at that oil & filter deal over this past weekend and passed on it.

From what I read in the very small print, was that you have to pay extra if the filter that you need costs over $6.95. I think a K&N filter for my 370Z was $11 or $12, so I would have had to pay the difference.

I ended up going with Mobil1 oil & a different filter.

Just because WalMart sells Fram filters means that they're junk? That's a pretty broad statement to make with nothing to back it up.

Nice, I'll check that out next time.

It allowed filters up to $14 for the Edge/K&N deal. I bought a HP-1010.

I personally use the Mobil1 Extended Performance oil filter. I have a 2011 Sport Touring. You can get a pack of two for $25 off of amazon, a single one cost, you guessed it...half of that...like $13. Pretty sure it should fit your 370Z regardless of the year...but if you do look it up on Amazon...it'll let you put your vehicle info in to ensure that it fits. Part number is M1-108 Just type that in on the search bar...or in the Google machine. Hope that helps ya man

You sir resurrected a 3 1/2 yr old thread. But to add to your post, Mobil 1 extended is a good call and is made by the same company that makes Amsoil's long interval filters EA15k12. Right next to each other the two filters are identical.

Question now that the dead is undead.

What about Fram's XG or TG filters? (Forgot which one is their best one)

I use a Bosch Distance Plus because it's the best/only one Walmart carries that will fit the Stillen sandwich plate.

you know this is quite a loaded question over oil filters, really you need two filters for different things, most of the time you want a high flow, long interval filter like a pure one amsoil and what not, but they actually only flow around 5-8gpm and the motor at high rpm can pump 15-20gpm so a good filter around town can be choking your oil flow while beating on it. at the same point in time though the long interval filters trap more smaller particles and filter much better than a high flow racing filter.

My point is when you do some reading not every filter is right at every time.

I use the purolator filter that's supposed to be for the titan...not sure if anyone else is doing this. It's longer
