No mods needed for the HP-1010, or any of the other mfg's longer filters either. Like ChrisSlicks said, I run the HP-1010 on top of a thermo sandwich plate with no probs.

No. We're just pointing out that even *with* a sandwich plate (which adds additional length), the filter still fits. It will fit by an even greater margin without one.

AK, thx for thewriteup.
I did my 1st oil chnage today at 5000 miles. Ive had the car for a year and 4 months now. First oil change done at the dealer at 2100 miles back in sept. I use mobil one 5w30 with filter magnet and KN filter. I dont use magnetic plug i think its overkill. Imho. I bought the rhino ramp but i think next time im going to buy the raceramp instead. Car too low for rhino ramps so i had to use some wooden boards but the ramps kept slinding. I only put 5 qts of oil in. Manual says 5 and 1/8. I wondered if it makes any difference. Ive never do oil change in any of my prevous cars. I just took it to the dealersip. Now that ive done my first oil change i reaaly like it im going to do all oil change at home from now on. Sorry for typos. Typed via two finger on ipad. |

Instead of the magnetized oil pan drain plug consider going with a FilterMag SS250 Oil Filter Magnet versus that small surface area, magnetized drain plug. Also, rather then fooling with a drain plug at all/ risking oil pan plug stripping, consider replacing your stock drain plug with a Fumoto valve..the best.... if you want to attach a hose to the Fumoto do order a Fumoto that has a nipple on it for hose attachment. (not all Fumoto's have a nipple) Futmoto's part# will have an "N" in it indicating "nipple" if it has a nipple. The Fumoto comes with a fiber gasket. Use the included gasket alone on the install.
For the '09 - '11 370Z use the F103N Fumoto valve. Best place to buy price wise is from an eBAY vendor. They do not leak and are very well made. A terrific adjunct. 8-) I've used them on numerous vehicles over the last few years. |

What dimension boards did you use and how did you place them (as a riser in front of the ramps (per AK's original post), or overlaying the ramps as an extension? I already have Rhino ramps, and intend to place back-to-back 2x4's at the ramps' front to raise the Z's front (sans air deflectors) enough to approach the ramps without any contact. AK built "steps" and said they were a bit too high, so I propose to simply lay two boards side-by-side in front of the ramps, with some rubber matting beneath the ramps to prevent sliding. What think thee?

Aluminum does not mix well with a steel oil pan, hence the stripping. My pan was saved as the plug was stripped. Since then I have gone with Dimple steel magnetic drain plug, it has more magnetic strength than aluminum. http://www.drainplugmagnets.com/ . Last edited by ZForce; 04-19-2011 at 02:35 AM.
