just changed the oil for the first time and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get the damn thing off. screw driver through the middle of the damn thing took it right off.
anyhow, my original oil filter says made in Japan. my local dealer that I purchased 2 replacement oil filters from say made in China. I also noticed that the oil filter they gave me is slightly longer (maybe 1/2 inch) than the OEM one?
part number of the original Nissan filter: 15208-65FOB (Japan)
part number of the Nissan filter the dealer sold me: 15208-9E000 (China)
and from the looks of AK's pictures, his was 15208-65FOC (China)
