They've pulled that a number of times on me. Even when the product is clearly labeled Prime. That kind of scam bs is one of the biggest reasons I no longer use Amazon. That and the fact that I have no trouble finding competitive prices elsewhere. There are a number of options where I can order a product online and then have it shipped to a local store for free - usually within a day or two.

well this was from a nissan parts store on amazon. i'm slightly curious if i may have picked my one dead card on my account but that would have still prompted an error at checkout though i'm assuming? i need to remove that from my options once and for all.

anyways advanced auto thats 1 mile from house has a bunch. best part GTR oil filter part# is used on like 6 or so different nissan vehicles and not some specialty part lol gonna go grab a purolator or maybe the K&N with the nut cap

The K&N filter has that. It fits on the Z thats what I usually use.

Yeah, but it looks like the nub is the same size, so it should fit?

yea just saying with no need for the socket itself it saves a lot of space to maneuver in there.

That would be very convenient if you had a filter relocation kit.

yea the Z with oil cooler thermo plate pushes it to no mans land. i just stab the filter with a pick and twist it off that way most times lol

I dig it, I used to run the longer 1010A on the therm plate; there's MAYBE 2mm of clearance after you get it off the threads. If I didnt live in #chiberia I'd ditch the stock sandwich.

Couldn’t you just use a crescent wrench on the outside of the nut. You wouldnt necessarily need to fit a 3/8 drive ratchet in there. You might **** the filter up but it’s going on the trash anyway, so who cares.

That's how the thing always rounds off for me. They have so much formed plastic around the base of the nut where it attaches to the oil filter body that it doesn't provide a flat surface around the nut so you can't seat the wrench on the nut very well.

After that happens, I usually just go at the filter body with channel locks.

The plier type filter wrench is easier to use imo.

I hate those K&N filters lol ... Most of the time the nut rounds off for me. But that's cause some other idiot put the oil filter on and tightened it as though it was necessary to prevent Godzilla from being able to remove it. If I installed the filter, I never any issues removing it because I don't tighten them down like that.

Also, just in case I did tighten it down a tad much, I have a nice metal oil filter socket that fits on the end of the filter and works great (except on K&N filters because of that stupid nut).
