Oil Filter for RB26DETT

[Gumby]

Guys,

Sounds like a stupidly simple question, but people can't tell me.

Anyone know where I can get information on the type of oil filter ( ie. part no.) for an RB26DETT as I'm aiming at this weekend to perform an oil change. I went to Evolution R and they said it would be listed as the car actually came to Australia in '90. Checked the catalogues and they are not listed.

Need Help, noone seems to know.

Thanks.

I bought mine at the local Nissan service centre. I don't have the box here otherwise I'd tell you the part number but i think Nissan can help.

Thanks,

I was going to speak to Nissan as a last resort as the gen. Niss parts seem so overpriced for what is essentially the same thing.

I'll keep hunting.

well thats generally probably the case but for something like an oil filter thats only gonna cost you $30 or so.. (can't remember) you're only gonna get a $5 discount at most going somewhere else.

Alternatively I think you can get a bosch one or something??

Don't know if it is the same as the Ryco one but Z145a.

[gtrken]

I use genuine Nissan and the same as Pulsar etc

Part no. 15208-H8911

While your at it , change the fuel filter Part no.16400-72L05

Yeah silver its da same as 145, but gumby make sure you get a narrow chassis one cause they are hard enough to get in there let alone getting the big one (which is what i did=d'oh)

Genuine Nissan oil filter is actually cheaper than the Ryco one. $8 vs $12 around here. Same filter for all RB engines, I believe.

Thanks again, $9.95 from Nissan, should've just gone there in the first place.

You wouldn't believe this, actually you will, removed old filter and failed to attempt to wipe the surface clean (it's hard enough getting my hands down there), so proceeded to apply film to newie and screw it down.

Seemed to screw on softly but not too bad, so filled the case and started the engine to fill the filter. Didn't get oil pressure! Stopped the engine and looked under the car to find all my new oil all over the garage floor. Turns out the seal from the old filter stayed on the motor hence causing a major oil leak with pressure.

How dumb was that!! Don't say it. I know.

Anyway, done.

FRAM PH3682 can be used on RB26 and is a bit narrower than Ryco 145a, so you dont need tiny jap school girl's hands to fit the oil filter at factory location.

btw the situation described just above about oil gone all over the garage floor.. *cough* been there done that *cough*

Hehehe.... Welcome to the club man! Did that with my WRX before. Gave myself the "goose of the day" crown for that.

i use the same one i think mine usually goes into a 1.6 ltr pulsar...seems strange really!!!

I use the VL turbo oil filter. its bigger that the regular filter which means it would have a better flow than the factory. not much but every little bit helps
