kaushen79,

If you are stuck I can coach you through one and even supply you with inexpensive OEM filters (stay away from Fram!!)
It's pretty easy and quick. All you do is drive around the corner to McEwan. :wink:
I've been doing all of my own work for over 15 years now and like to show people how easy it is to do their own work with few simple tools. :)

Hope this helps.


+1. A jack, 2 stands, and some tools can go a long way.

I cringe at paying $50-$60, and they probably don't let the oil drain long enough!

Turbo, can you get Nissan and Honda OEM filters? If so, I'd like to place orders and pay you cash. :)

Yeah Matt, Fram sucks. The paper material used is cheap, and doesn't filter out fine particles. It's not really a concern if you religiously change every 5000 km, but most people go over that, and in that case, a better quality filter is important. Some good aftermarket brand for oil filters are from the stealership, Purolator, Wix, and Napa.

What's wrong with Fram???? That is what I use, am I missing something or is it just a personal preference?

Matt


What I can suggest is, take your used Fram filter, then an OEM filter that your dealer might sell (but are available aftermarket without OEM sticker) and open them up. You will be amazed to see the difference in quality and quantity... :) For European cars OEM manufacturers are Mann and Mahle.

Yes, I can get all OEM parts at non dealer price for all makes and models.

Hope this helps
