Z1 oil cooler, oil filter

reldas · 12-07-2011, 07:53 AM

looking to purchase this cooler, can you use the Valvoline vo-19 oil filter on this with out problems? or can anyone that has this cooler install tell me what one they are using?

Thanks In advance

All the stock fitting oil filters will work with the kit, there is plenty of clearance even with the sandwhich plate. I run the Pure 1 (a bit longer) and I have no problems. I've heard some people run the GTR filters which are even longer still I believe, that I cannot comment on.

I am not familiar with that exact filter, but any standard length 370Z oil filter will fit just fine on the Austrailian-spec 370Zs with our oil cooler kit. You MAY run into fitment issues when using the longer G37/GTR filters. This is due to the stacking height of the Mocal Sandwich plate on top of your car's existing oil-to-water oil cooler (found previously, ONLY on the Middle Eastern and Austrailian models). The factory cooler on your 370Z is roughly 2" in thickness.

I just checked out our shop 370Z on the lift and "guesstimated" the added thickness of the OEM oil-to-water sandwich plate along with the longer G37 Sedan oil filter. I think it MAY BE possible, but a real pain to accomplish.

By all means PM me if you have any questions with any of our products including our oil cooler kits!
