Rb25det Neo Oil Filters

[sarnil]

Hi Fellas,

I was wondering if anyone's had experience using oil filters other then Nissan genuine ones on their RB25DET NEO engines. Can filters used on Cefiro's, Primera's or other Nissan cars fit on the engine?

Just a note, after Nov 1998, R34's use a smaller filter to the standard z145a older R34's use. Both still fit though, but the smaller filter apparently has a different micron rating.

I have yet to find an aftermarket manufacturer locally for the later model R34's. So you're better off getting them from Nissan, they're cheap anyway.

Thanks Howie,

The last filter I used was the smaller version, but I had sent from Japan. It wasn't Nissan Genuine, but of the PITWORK brand (which I think is another Nissan brand).

Mine is a 1998 model, probably part of the earliest batches of R34 models.

Send me your Vin number mate, i'll tell you what it should be.

Edit : Also if you use the larger filter obviously you'll need close to or more than 5L of motor oil.

All Skylines up to 11/98 use the Ryco oil filter Z145A or equivalent.

Skylines from 11/98 onwards use a Ryco Z442 or equivalent.

Hope this helps.

Hi Howie,

The VIN number is RB25106146

Edit: the above is actually the engine number. The VIN # starts with ER34*****

hi guys,

sorry to hijack your thread sarnil, but i've got a 1993 R33 GTST series 1 and when i went to nissan to purchase an oil filter he gave me the oil filter part number 15208-53J00 and he's very certain that it would fit on mine.. is he right ?

cheers

seconded. or a Cooper filter, they are good quality too.

confirmed. Tests have shown Ryco to be crap under the generic brands...and coopers performed really good. The OEM Nissan seems to be good also and plenty of good reviews detailing low pressure drop and good filtering. Considering I got some for $9.50 each you can't go too wrong.

Where would you get the genuine nissan ones from? Would my local nissan dealer place likely have them?

[Howie]

Yes they will.
