The official Nissan oil filter part number is 1520843G0A.
I last bought one from the local Nissan dealership for about £11.(this was a couple of years ago). I toddled in there last year to buy one and was told they can no longer obtain some parts individually but have to buy in bulk from Nissan wholesale. It is of no interest to then to buy a pack of 10 oil filters for older cars that will just sit on their shelf. Also the cost of the filters had gone up to around £23. Apparently Nissan has changed their parts pricing/delivery policy.
The time has now come to do an oil change and get a filter. Have any of you had similar problems with your local Nissan supplier ? What alternative non OEM filters are being used by you and are they any good ?
I'm going to ring Nissan tomorrow to see if I get the same story as last year. A bit a feedback from Zclub would be welcome before I make the call
