sr20det oil filter help???????? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

s13tony · 03-25-2009, 12:30 PM

sup guys its me again. just did an oil change on my s13 sr20 blacktop for the first time and was wondering if the oil filter that i used is the right one. reason i ask is because the filter that was on there was much bigger than the new one i got from nissan over in duarte. the old one model number is: AY100-TY015 by Pit Work. new filter is: 15208-53J0A by Nissan.

thanks guys

nissan240 · 03-25-2009, 01:18 PM

you can always use the se-r oil filters!!! 91-94. btw you should just search next time it, will save you lots of time

as long as it screws on the the gasket is the right size, it's the right filter.

Mr.s13r · 03-25-2009, 01:27 PM

hey make sure u get the right one or else at high rpm it will pop the filter out and ur screw. Here is the right one for s13 blacktop n redtop that you could use from the se-r= 15208-53j00. This is for a fact because i have a s13 blacktop as well and i use some another model but from the se-r as well and it filter fell off on me. GL man.

ps- there are other filters from other cars that you can use as well though

FYI !!!!

15208-53J00 superceeds to a 53J0A

Mr.s13r · 03-25-2009, 01:30 PM

wat is superceeds? im guessing it the same then

garagelu · 03-25-2009, 01:32 PM

Toyota part number 90915-YZZF1 works too. I have a 98 toyota corolla that uses that filter also. That way I can make just one trip to the toyota dealer and buy filters for both my toyota and my nissan. I have a s13 sr20det and have been using that filter for the past 4 or 5 oil changes. Also this filter is about an .5-1 inch longer so just a tad more oil capacity.

Also Toyota filters are made by Denso which are supposed to be one of the better filters out there.

weshole · 04-15-2009, 08:28 AM

The Napa filter (which is made by Wix) is 1396. Very good quality filter imho.

s13silvia123 · 04-15-2009, 09:51 AM

i use a K&N KA24DE filter. why cause its much bigger for my SR and it seems to work pretty well. oil seems much cleaner after using it

Good idea!!!!

*fliprayzin240sx* · 04-15-2009, 10:42 PM

Easiest way to remember it...Redtops = 91 SER ; Blacktop = 95 SER.

iRONDONkey · 04-15-2009, 11:27 PM

arent OEM the best ones?

240=180 · 04-15-2009, 11:35 PM

oem oil filters are as shitty as frams

The Nismo Shop : West Covina Nissan : Nissan OEM Oil Filters not that bad if you order a few

s13tony · 10-10-2009, 10:08 AM

Explain how an oil filter can produce better oil pressure.

s13tony · 10-10-2009, 11:59 PM

well thats what i said. i never used it. but nismo claims that it does produce higher oil presure

s13tony · 10-11-2009, 12:06 AM

..... well thats what i was told by the nissan dealer in duarte. mynismo.com. ill try and find the link

gotta240 · 12-02-2011, 08:58 AM

Talking bout back from the dead. See, i searched!!!

Why do people say redtops use 91ser filters but blacktops use 95ser filters? Dont both engines have identical oiling systems? Why cant you use one filter on both?

2. If running a relocation kir, can one use the largest filter that threads on and seals regardless of make, model? Ie: arent all filters the same thing, just made in different sizes?

!Zar! · 12-02-2011, 10:28 AM

It won't screw on because they are different sizes.

Yes you can run a huge filter if you want. If you are running something gargantuan I suggest priming your oil system after oil changes before starting the car.

gotta240 · 12-03-2011, 11:40 AM

Thanks!!!! So to clarify, filters dont have different pressure relief valves, or resistance to them? Just different sizes, right?

Why doesnt everyone stop running these tiny ass filters then? Its not like the sr20 carries a lot of oil as is.....it needs every additional drop you can fit

!Zar! · 12-03-2011, 12:13 PM

sr20's don't really have a problem with oil capacity. The problem with them is their shitty oil pickup.

fightinchunk · 12-22-2011, 08:26 AM

any word on mobil 1 filters?

bb4_96 · 12-22-2011, 09:28 AM

Cut that bitch open and find out

overpriced for sure.. expecially for something you are going to be replacing in a few months.

i have used every different brand of oil filter, and my oil always comes out the same in the end.

i have heard rumors of fram's exploding on big-block mudding trucks... but i havent seen pictures or anything to proove or dis-proove it.

edit...

here is a good showing of the comparisson between a few "popular" filters...

bb4_96 · 12-22-2011, 09:46 AM

I'd be willing to bet exploding is an exaggeration
