Oil Filters for GU 4.2

Steve,
I havent followed it thru properly yet but, yes my 03 TD42ti has the two different filters. It must not be that clear though as Nissan parts dept said they need VIN number to spec oil filter requirements, not just year model.
One has a valve I think to stop oil draining out when turned off.

steve , nissan dont knowbleepe , i ask them to supply me with 2 filters for my gu 03 they gave me two different filters odviously one didnt fit ,give the odd one to a freind with a older model, mine are the same as yours 15208-43G00
i was in woolworths the other day and noticed the ryco equivalent 503 i think was the number, the box they are in it says they are fitted with valves to stop oil draining back?

Thanks Guys Nissan gave me the wrong filters as well, will give the dealer a ring & see if I can find someone who knows what they are on about & get to the bottom of this. Its not real good when you have stuff all pressure on start up.

Cheers Steve

Mine is a 9/03 build and just bought filters last week. Both are the same part number 15208-43G00 $18 each including tax. The price difference between genuine and aftermarket is negligible. Buy OEM and avoid any risk. As far as oil pressure building it has never been an issue.

cheers

Madcow Just got off the phone to a service manager I know ,your right 2X filters with the same part No as you noted, he told me to put a stopwatch on the start up which ticked up 6.67 seconds for the light to go out. He said this was normal even up to 10 Secs was quite normal its also very cold here at the moment making the engine oil a tad thicker. I only use OEM filters too not worth the risk when you do your own servicing
Mine is a 12/03 build with 26,000ks on it

Cheers Steve
