Removing the 4 bolts doesn't quite give you access to neither oil filter nor drain plug because they are situated a little deeper than that . I'm sure you can try and do it but if you can buy a motorized screwdriver ($10 shipped EBAY), it makes your life a whole lot easier.

I believe Nissan uses this cover to prevent road debris, big rocks etc from hitting the bottom part of your Z and causing damage.

part number for filter mag is SS250?
thank you |
You can go with either one. If you track/race your car every weekend, I suggest you to go with Motul. If you drive like a granpa (like me
), then go with redline. They are both group 5 synthetic which is ester based. You're correct on the part number if using K&N filter. K&N filter has a 2.69" diameter which falls into SS250 range and it fits perfect. (SS250 filtermag range 2.50"-2.75") For different diameters, they have different SS models. Hope this helps.
