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

Exactly about the 65FOE part.

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.

OP, while you’re at it, what about eBay motor oil and turbo kits.

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!

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