if you guys doing your on oil change and using OEM oil filter, i came across with this on ebay, i think this is a bargain.

Nissan Oil Filter 15208 65F0C 6 Pack Factory | eBay

 

[Q'ed up]

That looks pretty good. I picked up two from the dealership last time I was in. The important part is the crush gaskets, which comes with these, at least the picture shows them. Great find and thanks!

Please do not use 65f0c. It has a cardboard encap indide and is made in China. Nothing aginst that. This is excess stock of a replaced part number that are being sold cheap.

The new part number is 15208-65f0e. It is made in mexico and has metal end caps inside.
The oem Japanese ones also have metal end caps, but are expensive and hard to find.

Yes, I have cut open 65f0e to confirm that it is metal.

The cardboard box in which the filter comes will say where it's made. Buy the made in Mexico ones. Nissan switched manufacturers.

So which ones do the Infiniti service departments use?

At our dealership Parts Department I was sold a Nissan Oil Filter number 15208-65F0C, made in Japan. The Parts Manager sold me a few of these and then asked me to wait a moment whilst he disappeared, returning with many crush washers. Yep, we need those!

Other than the Nissan oil filter for the Q, what are some other aftermarket filters that work? Like what is the product code for the Fram filter that we can find in a automotive supply store such as Autozone or Advance Auto Parts?

 

[GTLAW]

The M1 is what I run and it's very well made and does the Job!

Could you possibly provide me with a link to this specific product?

OEM oil filter 1520865F0E is less than $10 so why use something else?

This is what I use. Picked one up at a Nissan dealership parts dept for 9 bucks and a buck for the crush washer not too long ago.

You guys into B&D? Or plain old masochism?
Just use

- have been using it for ages (and totally ignore whining that it "does not drain all oil"

 

[Pauley74]

+1 on the Fumoto oil drain. I've used it on my past 4 Nissan/Infiniti cars with no issues. Just a turn of the lever and oil go bye bye.

Next time, don't pay $1 for a washer.


Here is 10 oem washers for $5

Do our cars come with synthetic from the manufacture? The Manual says to use genuine Nissan Ester oil so I am assuming it does?

I have free oil change for as long as I own the vehicle so no need to do it myself unless they use dino oil, in which case I will change it myself and use a quality synthetic.

 

[cvipgo]

Infiniti dealer uses only genuine Nissan Ester oil.

Infiniti dealer uses only genuine Nissan Ester oil.

Thanks

Infiniti dealer uses only genuine Nissan Ester oil.

This is definitely not correct. You go in for one of their oil change specials or the free ones you got when you purchased, they are using dino.

Nissan Ester at either of the Infiniti dealers near me costs more than what they quote for Mobil 1 (some absurd $ amount like $90). I bring a 5 qt jug of Pennzoil Platinum that costs me $22. Problem = solved.

 

[cvipgo]

Well my dealer always uses Nissan Ester only. Dealers are not suppose to use anything else.

I'd be a bit skeptical unless oil changes were costing me ~$100. What are you paying for an oil change?
