I went by my Nissan dealer here in Shreveport, Louisiana and the parts manager just gave me 8 of them for free! Sweet!

Just did an oil change. Replaced the filter and drained the oil over night. Filled the oil and used 6 quarts of oil and it just hit the "high" mark. Anyone here did used that much oil? And no, I do not have an oil cooler.
Thanks in advance. |

Are you sure you checked the level properly? The car needs to be sitting completely level, the engine needs to run a minute or so, and then shut off and wait ~5-10 mins before checking. If you were checking with the front of the car still on ramps, with the engine running, or too quickly after shutoff, it would be easy to overfill and end up dumping in 6 qts before you got to "high" (and the ideal is a bit below the high mark actually, somewhere in the vicinity of ~2/3 up the L->H range). |

The (dots) holes are the actual Low and High marks, you want to be somewhere between them. I usually try to shoot for around 2/3, but it's not worth obsessing over as long as you're in range.
If you're not racing the car, it probably won't hurt much to be slightly overfilled for a little while. The main downside to overfilling is that you get some extra splashing and foaming if you're cornering hard and revving high a lot, and foamy oil doesn't lubricate as well. |

Thanks again for info.
The oil is actually sitting at: L---o--------o|---H (right on the High dot). Either I did a really good job emptying the oil or Redline cheaped out. |

Just did mine.Previous oil change performed by the Dealer.The Oil did not look all that great.Stock Oil Filter is way too small for our Engines and it was really heavy.
I doubt they used Synthetic.It was a complimentary oil change.I guess you get what you pay for Filled with Redline 5w30,slightly overfilled,but within range.Used all six Quarts with the longer Oil Filter from Purolator PL 14610,installed magnetic drain plug as well. Took it for ride,hard ride,could not go over 200 degrees Oil Temp.Definitely runs cooler with Redline Oil.Worth every penny. Last edited by EVOnomore; 11-27-2011 at 12:08 PM. |

I'm online ordering the parts for my oil change and its saying that the Purolator Pure one PL14610 does not fit the 370, which it clearly does in AK's post but instead recomends the PL14612 which is just a tad smaller in size. I will have no problems with the larger PL14610 will I because I would rather get the larger size?

Hey guys, I just did my first oil change last night and I found that the plastic cover has a large crack among other problems. Does anyone know the replacement part number for the 2011 Nismo? Also where is a good place to find some extra bolts and clips it seems many have gone missing with what happened to the cover.
