Oil Filter recommendation

[EnjoyDriving]

I believe there must be a thread about this already, but I couldn't find it. And I will need to do an oil change tomorrow, so I need to know soon to pick it up tonight.

I've read about Mobil 1 > Nissan oil filter (OEM)? But it is a bit pricy though, isn't it? Any other recommendataion especially the ones I can pick up from AuotoZone or Nappa auto stores.

thanks :tonguey:

Interesting oil filter facts see this link--http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilters/index.html

The K&N's and M1's are made by the same company and are similar. I believe the HP-1006 is larger than the M1-108 and the K&N has a nut. Looking on amazon they are similarly priced so I say get the filter with nuts.

i use the napa gold, good filter but the biggie, the keyword here folks is ''anti-drain back valve'' which the napa gold has.

Napa Gold--
Cartridge End Cap TypeStamped-steelAnti-Drain-back Valve TypeNitrile rubber diaphragmBypass Valve TypeSpring-loaded steel, nitrile sealElement TypeCellulose blend media, glued seam

Mobil One --
Cartridge End Cap TypeStamped-steel, with bypass valve in frontAnti-Drain-back Valve TypeNitrile rubber diaphragmBypass Valve TypeSpring-loaded steel, nitrile sealElement TypeSynthetic blend media, glued seam

K&N--
Cartridge End Cap TypeStamped steel, with bypass valve in frontAnti-Drainback Valve TypeNitrile rubber diaphragmBypass Valve TypeSpring-loaded steelElement TypeSynthetic blend media, glued seam

Fram--
Cartridge End Cap TypeCardboardAnti-Drain-back Valve TypeNitrile rubber diaphragmBypass Valve TypeSpring-loaded plasticElement TypeCellulose blend media, glued seam


The plus factors to the Mobil One and K&N are the Synthetic Blend Media vs the Cellulose and the Minus factor for the Fram are the cardboard cartridge end caps that can fail.

ive never been a fan of fram filters. lots, and lots of hype.
