I'm using hte Mobil1 M1-110 instead of the Mobil1 M1-108 - same idea.

I personally use the Mobil1 Extended Performance oil filter. I have a 2011 Sport Touring. You can get a pack of two for $25 off of amazon, a single one cost, you guessed it...half of that...like $13. Pretty sure it should fit your 370Z regardless of the year...but if you do look it up on Amazon...it'll let you put your vehicle info in to ensure that it fits. Part number is M1-108 Just type that in on the search bar...or in the Google machine. Hope that helps ya man

FWIW, four oil changes to date (approx. 2,600, 6,000, 10,000 and 16,800 miles). Castrol GTX for the first two, Mobil 1 since then. Have used both Nissan and Bosch 3300 filters.

I use the K&N oil filer. the P# is HP-1008

AK370Z · 08-21-2009, 04:35 AM

I use K&N. I have heard nothing but horror stories about FRAM oil filters. You can use them on the Z I guess but be careful. My philosophy is that if you can afford a 35K car, $15-$20 oil filter is a reasonable investment.

A good filter isn't even 15 to 20 bux I spend 9 bux on my k&n

Purolator PureOne. The one for a '06 Honda Ridgeline is the extended capacity version of ours (It's a little longer). Should be $6 at your local autoparts store Should be gold textured finish that makes it so easy to get off i haven't even had to use a wrench on it (and yes it was put on tight all the tens of of oil changes I've done). Excellent Filter that is superior to the Mobil one (Car Craft or Hot Rod did oil tests and flow tests can't remember witch mag it was). Saves you money to buy some good RL or Motul 300v oil.

Mobil1 filters are the exact same as the K&N filters internally. The only difference is the white paint, higher price tag, and the welded on nut on the bottom of K&N.

Really? I didn't know that thet are the same...I'm using K&N, next time I go to the store I'm going to check the price difference.

Sorry to bring back an old post but if that's true I think others may be interested.

At least with K&N it is not necessary to use a chain wrench to remove the thing and get covered in oil when the casing splits !

huff442 · 08-14-2010, 07:42 AM

I use the K&N HP 1010. Just walk into you friendly neighborhood parts store and ask for a filter for a 2009 Nissan GTR. The filter is about an inch longer than the stock 370Z filter.

I find it so funny that some people argue that paying $14 for an oil filter is stupid. I paid nearly $40,000 for my 2009 370Z, brand new. To me, the argument between using a $6 cheapie Fram filter and a $14 K&N is a moot point. I save money on filters and oil on my wife's Trailblazer so i can put only the best in my Z.

Advanced Auto Parts is running an oil change special, 5 quarts of Castrol Edge and a K&N filter of your choice for $29.99. Normally that would cost $55.

From the UAO reports it seems a decent oil.

yup, I still got 8 quarts of Valvoline left from their last special @ $26.99

I am still worried about aftermarket oil filter since they could change the oil pressure and flow characteristics. Also consider this, Nissan uses different filters for the same VQ motor, yet aftermarket has a one size fits all. THere must be a reason why Nissan did it. Is it so much filtering capability or is it more pressure drop? Usually a bigger filter will drop your pressure slightly.

Does Nissan have a special oil filter similar to TRD? I know I can buy a TRD filter for my Toyota that is thicker and have a metal casing instead of paper. Does Nissan sell a briefer version of the filter that is meant for the Z, not other cars?

With all that said, I am running a K&N because it was on special with the Valvoline two months back

I was looking at that oil & filter deal over this past weekend and passed on it.

From what I read in the very small print, was that you have to pay extra if the filter that you need costs over $6.95. I think a K&N filter for my 370Z was $11 or $12, so I would have had to pay the difference.

I ended up going with Mobil1 oil & a different filter.

It allowed filters up to $14 for the Edge/K&N deal. I bought a HP-1010.
