Nissan 370Z Forum - What did you do with your Z today

Just bought HPS post MAF tubes and K&N air filters. Also got a Samsung Galaxy Tab to put where the nav WOULD normally go on a touring model, but I have a NISMO.

Question: How much oil needs to go on this filter? I've only ever used dry-flows.
And how often should I clean it?

sounds interesting. details?

I use this stuff:

CRC Industries Automotive Product Detail

Remove the MAF (2 screws), spray and wipe clean with a microfiber or shop towel and then replace the MAF. It's as easy as pie and takes a whole 10 minutes for both sides.

If you still have the work order, look at the milage when you got there and compare to what you have now. It seems like (possible) someone went for a joy ride. If you wonder if they changed your oil, look at your oil filter, it should be a new one (no road dirt etc) Also, check the dip stick, the oil should be clear and clean. Joy ride is my bet. I would be pissed! This is why I change my own oil.

Finally months after being lazy, I painted my oil cooler block off plate flat black. Instead of the silver plate I had behind the grill. Will look alot better now. I'll post pics later.
