Oil filters are cheap. Engines are expensive.

I noticed yours is 15208-65FOC. The filter I get from Nissan is 15208-65FOE.

That filter is no longer carried by Nissan. Part number has been superseded by the -65FOE. Looks like it may be counterfeit.

Exactly about the 65FOE part.

I agree would not purchase anything made in China or Mexico for my Z. Not to defend the eBay seller but there are a lot of eBay sellers sometimes that don’t even know actually where the item they are selling is really made I have seen this before they just try to sell the item. If you are skeptical about the part for your Z throw it in the trash. I too use Genuine Nissan oil filters for my Z oil changes .

The Nissan filters I buy at the Nissan dealership are made in Mexico according to the box and filter. Chances are, yours are too.

there is NO way I'd put anything other than a backup camera on my Z from EBay. Like another poster said, oil filter is cheap, an engine is expensive. I always assume anything that's a commodity item on EBay, and lately Amazon, is counterfeit; especially something as easy to make as an oil filter. Even oil can be resealed/replaced with garbage oil with the original removed.
Buyer Beware is even more valid now than ever before. I buy my filters from the stealership.

I don't want to appear insulting, but why would one even look for an oil filter on ebay? They aren't expensive. About the only thing I buy off ebay are old F1 t-shirts.

Hell just stay away from eBay crap completely. This car is too nice to be putting cheap crap on it just to save a few bucks.

Hmmmmmm... perhaps I'll try these fake consumables going forward. Oh yeah, I could save a ton! :ugh:

Here's a topic: which fake filter is the best?
