Oil Filter and oil Maxima 2002
Hello guys,
So I got my maxima 2002 oil leak fix due to a hose water and bad gasket and a o-cooler ring. So I want to change the oil filter and fill it up with oil but I do not know which one to pick. What do you guys use? I want something cheap with good performance. What works better?? what kind of filter and oil do you guys use?
-Thanks!

Pennzoil platinum full synthetic $25 at walmart.
Can't get cheaper then that. Search for it on bobistheoilguy, VQs like it.
Mobil 1 or K&N filter. They are build better then all the rest so why not?
It's cheap. $11 on amazon.

I was told by Universal Nissan here in Orlando that they do full synthetic Mobil 1 oil and oil filters on all GTRs. Never deviated from that choice since.
**edit** Wal-Mart also offers the Mobil 1 for under $30 also

Ok. Seems like mobile 1 filter is the winner. So what kind of oil is recommended , 10-40w?? 5-40w? 30w?

Mobil 1 synthetic all the way! its only $26.xx at my local walmart...5w30 is recommended..but you may have to alter based on climate you live in.
As far as filters..(air and oil) There is none better than MANN Filters IMO. I have a half a dozen in stock. This is my brand of choice and the best bang for the buck for many years on all my cars.
...never heard it?

walmart 5qt jug mobil 1 0w-40 = $23 (says oem spec for gtr on back of jug) 
advanced auto purolator pure one filter = $7
If you have money to burn and don't want to save go to nearest parts store, buy same oil for $50 and a mobil1 filter for $15.

Ok just ordered mobile 1 m1-108 ! so this time I'm going to buy 5-30w even though I have been using cheap oil but they're 10-40w. I'm going to buy the 5 quarts gallon. How much oil do you guys put ? The whole gallon? How many quarts?
