HI All,

 

Getting the engine oil and gearbox oil changed on Saturday and looking at the filters.

 

I have a 1995 N/A Auto

 

Which of these Filters would be better

 

K&N

Genuine Nissan

Also, Is semi synthetic or fully synthetic oil the best to use in our engines?

 

Finally, does the auto gearbox have an oil filter that will need changing?

 

Cheers

Considering the price of Nissan parts have risen, i think the K&N filter is a good bet, a few on here have bought them. If the OEM was still around fiver, i know which i would have gone for lol.

Semi synthetic is best and the auto box doesnt have a replaceable filter, it has an oil strainer etc inside the sump of the box.

Great. Thanks for your help. :)

 

So if i could get the original Nissan one cheaper, that would be better than the K&N one?

allot also favour the wix filter, i've used this and the oem

I would take oem over any aftermarket tat if i could help it :)

I know what you are saying there Dave but i think the K&N and Wix performed fairly well in tests ;) and the wix is supposed the most original to the nissan design before changed :mellow:

ADL Blueprint do one ADN12103 fits both NA and TT and shouldnt set you back any more than £3 to £4 at any good car parts shop :wink:

 

Mines ran on Blueprint filters for nearly 10 years with no probs.
