Oil filter of Choice
 

I’m sure this subject has come up more than ounce.
I don’t exactly trust the oil filters installed by the ‘quickie lube’ places, so want them to use the filter I purchase. What are your opinions on oil filter brands?
I am getting confusion on whether this is the correct OEM part #15208-65f0E for my 2019 Sport-coupe. ... or what may be the more preferred oil filter. My Lady gets daily use and no track time.

:rolleyes:

Any oil filter that fits will be fine for your needs.

Daily driver? Just use OEM. Don't like that? Just throw a Fram on there. Don't like Fram? Throw a Purolator on there. Don't like that? Throw on a Mobil 1 filter. Don't like that? Throw on a Wix.

I cannot think of one instance that the oil filter caused the engine to be damaged on a DD in normal driving conditions.

If you are able to splurge on your Z, and really want the absolute best, the Nismo 15208-RN011 oil filter is your answer. Of all the filters mentioned here, it is the only one Made in Japan. And being that it's Nismo, you get the added benefit of it being "Genuine Nissan" and not a third-party part.

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.

As per above, any good, name-brand filter will work great for a DD.
At least one thread on this site about the subject. If you can't find them using this site's search function, go to any of the big web search engines and add

A Q&D search of The Intertubes says 15208-65F0E is the proper filter for all 370Zs. Double-check that - I'm just Some Guy On A Forum.

Coffee filter filled with Bahamian sand, held on with an 11/32 inch diameter zip tie.

Use an old tin can for a case if you've concerns about debris.

Do like the old chevys with the canister. They used a roll of toilet paper inside the canister. :rofl2: Haven't seen one of them since I was a kid.

What brand of coffee filter? Also, how many horses does that add? :stirthepot:

I prefer Dunkin' Donuts. It adds two Shetland ponies.

Thanx all, for the quick responses. It’s going to be the OEM part #15208-65f0E after all then.

I personally use the Fram Ultra Synthetic oil filter. It is tried, tested and true. If you want a better idea on these things go to bobistheoilguy.com. People test oils, filters, ATF etc on that forum and it will give you a general idea of things.

41 for a Nismo filter??? lol that thing better be super effective or something

i just use a mix between Wix, Pura, and K&N. whatever i feel like at the moment.

Purolator PL14610 (preferred) or Fram XG7317 which are both larger than stock but fit even with a thermostatic plate for oil cooler. I change annually or at 5k miles which ever comes first using Mobil 1 and an ester additive this time as the valvetrain last time was quite noisy upon changing. May switch to a LIqui Moly additive next time dependent on valvetrain noise at the next change.

I don't install an oil filter and just let nature take its course. The engine runs a little hot, which is weird, but I top it off and it's ok for a little bit, then starts running hot again.

My brother had a '77 Ford F-150 with a 360 motor. When the valves rattled. He would put 5 quarts of oil into. :rofl2: Then drive some more. :driving: The motor had a cracked head, and bad valve guides. :shakes head:
