Anybody know the aftermarket part numbers that have the 3.0L/6 Cylinder volume with anti drain design that work on the VE30DE?

I'm going to be workong on the max, but it will be oin my mother's gravel driveway since it is her car and she doesn't want to drive it as is. Plus, I'm on a bit of a tight schedule.

The last thing I plan to do is change the oil and filter. But, I may just have Nissan do that since I'll be sending the car in for an auto tranny inspectyion and service. Lots of mechanics, especially at dealerships, don't like to deal with people telling them that the oil filter's they use are inferior. So, I figure I'll just show up with the filter. But, seems that somebody said their dealer wouldn't intall the Toyota part so I figure I can avoid confrontation by getting an aftermarket filter.

Out of curiousity and to be ideally informed, if the only way to see if the anti drain design is implemented to the filter is to take the filter apart ... then may we all have somebody point out what the anti drain feature is in the pics on page 2 or by using some other pics? I'd appreciate it.

I recommend the napa filter...Made by wix..
