oil filter question
i installed an oil filter for the vq30 97 maxima.. what i didnt realize until now is that i should have gotten one for a vq35 =/ whats the worse that can come of this mistake ?

It shouldnt matter as long as the filter fits well.
You can check at like wal mart or checkers or whatever, they have the books.
If its wrong, just replace it with the correct one and make sure you have enough oil in there.

yah i checked, i bought a k n hp1010, the motor calls for a hp1008 =/ fit fine.. and when i worked at a nissan dealership.. nearly every nissan vehicle got the same filter, so im guessing its fine, just want to make sure.

heh, ya, Honda has two oil filters, one for the S2k and one for everything else. I dont know what, if anything about the Honda filters is better than Nissan ones, but at the time I got them for $2 from my friend. I have yet to open one up or do any research into them.

Probably a re-post. But for those that haven't seen this it's an interesting read if nothing else. And I know there are as many opinions on oil filters as there are on oil and other consumables. And yes I know the link references MCs.
