Oil change

[Sarumatix]

Hey guys, i'm up for doing my first oil change . Where the hell is the best place to get oil filters in sth east suburbs? I am after a mobil 1 filter to suit R32 RB26s.

No one seems to know? After reading about a bit looks like you simply can't get mobil 1 filters in Australia easily. Booger, just settle for ryco then.

get the genuine nissan - only $9 and prob good enough.

:confused:

I posted yesterday saying that i don't think you can get Mobil 1 filters and you should just grab a Nissan one... where'd it go?

Would go Nissan anyday before Ryco

i thought i'll b smart and bought myself a K+N filter. It did nothing for me.

What did you expect it to do, apart from filter the oil? :confused:

[chan]

sorry mate wasn't meaning to be harsh.

The fact that the oil turns dark isn't a bad thing - it means that all the particulates that are floating around your motor are being cleaned and contained within the oil, rather than booting around causing additional wear. These particulates are too small to be captured by any oil filter anyway.

Don't forget that oil does three things"

1. lubricates everything

2. carries away abrasive worn particulates to the filter, and if the particulates are too small, then suspends them in the oil until you do a change

3. cools components

I would be more concerned if my oil was still pristine after 5,000kms of hard driving when i dropped it at a change - tells me the oil isn't suspending the crap.

Yup your friendly Nissan dealer can sort you out for one:

Part number - Oil filter: 15208-H8911AU

Go to your nearest dealer...

Brighton Nissan on Nepean Hwy.. The boys in spare parts will help you out

Ferntree Gully Nissan is also an option.

Any Autobarn, Repco, Supercheap, etc. Z145A, from memory.

No such animal AFAIK. Mobil only make oil. The Ryco ones are more than adequate.

:confused: How can a filter possibly make the oil turn black? It's residual "dead" oil that turns the (new) oil black.

[MerlinTheHapyPig]

no, it's carbon deposits which the oil is ment to remove, that turns it black.

oil is ment to come out black, that means that it's doing it's job
