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.

Join the many who fell for Amsoil marketing. I've tried them too but didn't stick with them.
The relevance is most brands don't matter anymore especially those name brands people swear by. I've tried a lot of filters and my Z says I don't give a 5h!+ what you put as long as it does the damn job.

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

Not sure if this is sarcasm or trolling or what, but, the one on the left isn't fake. I had the filters and took the picture myself. The picture shows differences externally and internally. That's all I'm getting at.

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

I'm laughing right now. I'm sorry. In the many years I've been here, I've never trolled. Differences in pictures doesn't mean it is made by different manufacturers padawan.

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

Also look up Peak Oil too.

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

Being that I have late model 2020 Z like you, that is only what I use, and paired with Redline oil (probably the best oil you can buy for your Z) it makes for a killer combo and peace of mind during hard pulls on a hot summer day.
LMFAO $45 bucks for a filter. Gimme some of what you're smoking dude

But it's stainless steel and reusable
