Was searching around the web to see what oil and filter to use. During my search I found out that Fram oil filters are CRAP. There are tons of videos showing the inside guts of this and many other filters but the Fram, which I have been using for years with no problems, is poorly made and just looks embarassingly cheap. Then the average filter, which pretty much all the rest fall into, also have their shortcomings. Less pleats, paper filtration elements, etc. I've seen alot of ppl on here go with the K&N filters, they too have a paper element and made almost like the majority of others but costs 3x as much $$$. The only filters that I have come across worth the extra $ seems to be from Amsoil, or Fleetguard or Royal Purple. They have a synthetic nanofiber, which looks like it does more than all the rest. So what are you guys using in your nismos?
