which oil filter is for 370z?

leepeen · 08-19-2009, 04:16 AM

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.

Fram makes (some of) the worst filters.

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.

bluzman · 08-20-2009, 08:09 PM

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.

Rps13.jw · 08-21-2009, 01:28 AM

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

AK370Z · 08-21-2009, 04:35 AM

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.

Daishi · 08-21-2009, 07:13 AM

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.
