Oil filter of Choice

Latt · 07-11-2020, 01:18 AM

I use Amsoil oil and filters in the Z. Everything else gets Mobil 1. Probably overkill using amsoil for the Z but I drive the car 2-4k a year and change it once a year so dont mind spending the extra cash. Most filter companies share media these days and make filters for each other so as Askmea? said they are probably made by the same company. I would just stick with wix, puralator etc.

Lol... name a better oil brah

Amsoil was the first in the business, any viscosity breakdown analysis vs. Any other competitor decimated it. I ran in all my Zs and lost zero amount of oil.

You do you boo

Abiogenic petroleum oil the best. I use 0w-40 Euro blend. It has everything your engine needs.

Carbon deposit origination versus fossil origination. Interesting!

What's the first thing NASA looks for when studying a planet? Hydrocarbons.

Also look up Peak Oil too.

Naturally! How else could they get funding and excuse to land on a planet to extract potential energy source?

Wix makes a lotta filters for other companies & this one is the Nissan long version for the GTR & Pickups, synthetic media for synthetic oils/ high quality.
Not knocking other brands, I’ve just always trusted Wix

I use the K&N Race oil filter

I've never had a problem with using refurbished oil filters, aka, Lazarus Filters. Super easy on the wallet to boot. So.....

Peace of mind shouldn't be so expensive.

If peace of mind costs more than a piece of azz, no thanks.

It's not. Piece of mind cost $6.25. OEM filters are as good as anything on the market and less than 1/2 the cost.

Want to run the larger GTR filter for cool points? That's $6.25 too.
