I worked for a parts place for about 4 years and the thousands and thousands of ryco filters i sold, i never had one come back ever or ever had a complaint about them ?

GReddy Oil Filters are about $25, for those who want all the gunk and impurities taken out of their engines life blood by a Japanese brand

But if you change your oil and filter every 5,000k's won't it be efficient enough getting something like a ryco as apposed to paying $25 for a greddy one? same concept as spark plugs isnt it?

and about them leaking it could be cos the seal around the oil filter wasn't lubricated prior to fitting.. that can happen cant it?

[PSI Parts]

That all depends on how hard you drive your car, the condition of the engine and oil already, the environment your driving in, the efectiveness of your air filter, etc. I guess it comes down to what you believe the quality of the filter is like. Same goes for spark plugs, if your happy with $5 plugs on an engine that you have invested a lot of money into then thats your choice. I have used ryco filters on my old bombadore and found them OK, although you really need to compare them to something. So maybe note the engine oil colour and smell and then change to a different filter at the same interval and see if you notice a difference.

The whole thing that started the leaking ryco filter here on SAU was a few years back some of us bought an oill cooler kit.and what happened was the ryco filters had a thread that was not quite so tight fitting on the sandwich plate thread and they would leak oil.Before that i have used ryco and had no problems.

Since then i have only ever used valvoline oil filters for the nissan Z145A.if you ever go to auto-one (they only sell ryco & a generic brand)and ask for their generic oil filter to have a look at.look at the rubber seal and look at how flimsy it is.. when you get the valvoline oil filter from supercheap look at how meaty the rubber seal is.

The rubber seal needs to be that meaty so the filter when tight doesnt stop dead on the block after being tightened,thus not creating the seal and oil will leak.So meaty seal and the right thread is the way to go.dont force the thread make sure it goes on smoothly before tightening to much.you dont want a threaded oil filter thread.

Remember to smear a thin film of new oil everywhere on the new oil filters rubber seal to create an excellent seal.

genuine nissan is $7.. why would you go aftermarket?

[95SKY]

This mite sound dumb but i was thinking if Nissan made the Genuine oil filter ( not sure of Genuine number but a Z145A ) anyway would they look at improving the design etc of that style of oil filter or would it will be the same design as when it first was made like 20 years ago rb30 days or even older not sure??? Because im sure aftermarket brands would continously look at improving design etc therfore i would think aftermarket would be a better option?? Any Ideas??
