+1 for Purolator PureONE Oil Filter PL14612
|
I use the Napa Gold.

OK i will bite, why are K&N oil filters bad?
I have only been using them on everything I own and for 5 years. |
I can't speak to the K&N, but here is a cutaway comparison of OEM vs Purolator.
Don't Use Nissan OEM Oil Filters (Long Post - Lotsa Pics) - MyG37 |

I'm using K&N, which I believe is manufactured by Champion Labs. They also make Mobil1. Just the engineering behind the filter design might slightly vary. But on my next oil change or after I use my last K&N, I will increase to the larger equal of others use of PureONE.

I was doing some doing on Mobil1 filters because I'm considering switching back but I came across that I saw was interesting and wanted to share: Best Oil Filter – Reviews and Rankings | Bestcovery.

you have to be careful with more densley packed filters on certain applications. it is known that some oil filters will effect oil pressure levels and also a Larger filter holds more oil so make sure you account for that. I'm sure their is a reason the GT-R filter is larger. anybody see if there are differences in the oil pick/return system between the VQ37VHR and the VR38DETT im sure there are. Plus if something goes wrong and you change your oil regularly I cant imagine Nissan service saying "oh its bc you used the NISSAN OEM standard oil filter for your vehicle." So its whatever Nissan/Infiniti puts on that I'm sticking with. Also I have a record of all services being done at a certified Nissan/Infiniti dealer using OEM parts so if I need warranty work they cant give me any sh*t. I personally enjoy Infiniti service better (nicer waiting areas lol). I cant imagine what crap they may say if they notice I use a GTR oil filter on my 370, i would already have to defend my intakes and exhaust, which would be easier then defending using the wrong size filter...Purolator wont warranty my motor if i had a pressure issue from using their filter that is for a GTR...just my .02

I use OE Nissan or NISMO on all of my Z's. If you want a LONGER OEM Nissan filter, just order one from the G37 Sedan. Its roughly 1" taller and will allow for more volume.
On past vehicles I've owned, I ve used Wix, NAPA GOLD (which is a rebranded WIX from what I recall ??), OEM or Mobile 1. I will not touch a FRAM or K&N. Just my .02 |

Champion Labs makes both Mobil 1 and K&N. Lots of motor heads will not use either Mobil 1 or K&N oil filters for a number of reasons, one being valve chatter at start-up issues. Search the internet for those voicing concerns/complaints. As you know, Fram, used to be considered (years ago) to be an aok filter is another that most every motor head will tell you to avoid. I myself go with Napa Gold / Wix. |

Learn something new everyday...I did not know that both Mobil 1 and K&N filters were made by the same people. I use the Mobil 1 filter simply because that is what Chrysler recommended as an OEM replacement to years ago. On my Z32's the K&N and Frams were often associated with lifter tick at start up since they (at one point in time) lacked the anti-drain back valves found in the OEM filters. |
