Giant slayer Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 what brand of oil filter should i be using when changing my oil. is nissan part the way to go or is there an aftermarket company like HAMP that produce better quality ones or 3rd parties like blueprint that produce same quality as nissan filters but at a quarter of the price?

Yowser Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Nissan filter - £5 No reason to use any other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Thompson Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Nissan filter - £5 No reason to use any other. Always use Nissan, cheap enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markzx Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Blue print. they are the same price as OEM, but beleive it or not they have better sealing rings and give no problems. I find OEM sometimes don't seal well and nearly always leak if you have a sandwich plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyP Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I use either a Champion (C109) or a Nissan one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris C's OEM oil filter leaked like he had a hole in his sump because of his sandwich plate. Mine did the same. He removed his sandwich plate so he could get a seal. I just changed to Blueprint, because Phil at C&S Wood recomended them for the very reason I've said. He's the only person to ever lay a spanner on my car that I have total confidence in. The only person I know who rebuild's Zed engines and never had to rebuild any off his rebuild again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billy muggins Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 why pay £22.50 when you can buy a genuine nissan one for under £6.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardS Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 why pay £22.50 when you can buy a genuine nissan one for under £6.00 Exactly - the NIssan one os probably the best bet for the car and at the price (even from main dealers) you can't complain. I've also heard good reports on Blueprint parts too........ ;) Richard :) Quote I have something to say............ It's better to burn out than to fade away..... :tt2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b19rks Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I dont see the point in buying one of those £22 filters. Better to buy £6 ones and change twice as often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
