Oil Filter 370Gt

[WASP]

Hi A naïve question , I am about to do my first oil change on my 2008 370GT,what is the correct Pt No for a Ryco oil filter. Several shops have quoted me different numbers,Z445 and Z436 being two.

Thanks

Steven

What he said. I use the same on mine. Identical to the OEM filter I had on at the time of the first oil change.

Z436 is wrong.. I advised ryco years ago, but they never bothered changing anything on their webpage. Z445 is the correct part.

Z547 has the same thread and seal size, but is 20mm longer. So if you have the space (the V35 does), it will also fit.

It's listed as z445 on their site.

K&N PS-1008

or K&N wrench off HP-1008

Interesting, when I check it only lists the V35, no V36, and still shows the Z436.

If you search for 350z or 370z it is correct.

I use Ryco Z411 due to it being cheaper, but Z445 is the correct PN. Realistically most 20mm threaded filters will work.

Or do as Chris said, use the wrench off K+N 1008. Makes for easy removal.

I am having my oil changed for the first time, and I saw your post. Looking at the Z445, on Ryco, it actually says it interchangeable with the Z436, so maybe thats why they didnt bother to correct it.

I have purchased both the Z436ST AND the Z547ST with instructions for the mechanics to try the Z547ST (ie the bigger one) first. Doing quick calcs, I think there would be about 50% more filter surface area on the bigger one (assuming 10mm of case height on both is for the mechanics of securing the filter in place; ie 5mm at top and 5mm bottom). Here are some photos showing the two in comparison. The only visible difference in the photos are because one is higher and thereby closer to the lens. But the 1mm difference in diameter of the seal is totally not discernible to the naked eye.

But, yeah, the big one is notable bigger. Thanks!
