370z oil filter so small
 

The PureOne oil filter for the 370z is the same part # as a 1.8L sentra, PL14612. My 2.5L sentra uses a bigger filter size, PL14610. I would think the bigger the engine the bigger the filter, anyone know why this is?

... We have 50 threads for the oil filter being too small... Use the search feature to find a larger filter

You can use an oil filter for a Nissan Titan Truck. It will buy you a little larger filter.

the filter for the GTR work too. they are just a tad longer.

It's the reason are oil overheats too.:ugh2:

Yup, that's the one I picked up, it's the exact same size my 2.5L sentra takes actually.
It's the same filter as with the sentra and titan. I really don't understand Nissans reasoning behind giving the 370z the smaller filter, while giving a 2.5L sentra a bigger size. It's not like you can't fit a bigger size filter on the 370z, so what gives?

Just a bit of trivia but it's the same filter as the Miata's as well. Even Miata owners think it's too small and use the slightly longer Millenia filter.

i plan on picking up the longer filter for my oil change and cooler install before spring.

That's cool as hell to know!

Doesn't a bigger filter take more time to fill up with oil, thus starving the top of the engine until the filter is full?

A Silicone Anti Drain Back Valve helps, but after a day and a half of sitting, there isnt much in the filter.

:stirthepot:

there's like a 2 inch difference i think in the sizes of the long and shorts. i dont think that would starve the engine. then again i could be wrong since i am not a expert on the VQ block....yet lol

Hmm..u sure the filter size has anything to do with oil overheating? I would think a oil cooler would be the biggest issue in regards to that.

Bahahahaha!!!
