mark i thought son240 was your blog?

Gonad - Psshhh shh shhh 18psi pshhh 😛

Honestly there isnt need for this much discussion about an oil filter 😛 Just get the right oil weigh and good quality synthetic and change often… On my dailies I started just using dino oil and change more often.

only reason i use the fram filters is because of the grip, makes life easier when taking the filter off. otherwise i would use any filter i find.

I can’t remember where I read it, but apparently the Fram filters tend to break up inside? I can see this happening, seeing as how my filter wrench always punctures them when I use to take them off the KA.

So far the OEM Nissan filters have yet to break on me.

GC 0w30 took The Internets by storm and people have been jumping on it like gangbusters. What motor do you use it in, I don’t want some KA/SR/CA/RB fanboy thinking it’s a good for our engines, if it isn’t …

When I had my car, I was using 10w30 red line synthetic oil with a oem filter, and Lucas synthetic transmission fluid. I found this worked great in the RB.
