Larger Oil Filter for the Z

Larger Oil Filter for the Z
For anyone who wants a bigger oil filter for their Z:
I've always thought the OEM size oil filter for the Z was very small. Seemed more appropriate for a motorcycle than a car... So I've been looking around for a larger oil filter that will work on the Z. I found that the Nissan Armada oil filter fits nicely and has approximately 20% more filtering capacity.
The K&N HP-1008 is the OEM size oil filter. It's the upper-most one in the pic.
The K&N HP-1010 is the one for the Nissan Armada. It's the bottom one in the pic.

yeah, i always use the k+n one and thought it was small. The filter on my integra is bigger. Have you tried it on your car with no leaks? Threads in just as smooth as the 1008?

Seals perfectly. No leaks. Oil pressure is also the same with the larger one.
I also bought the OEM sized filter just in case the Armada filter didn't fit. I guess I'll be taking the OEM sized one back to exchange for another Armada filter. :-)

the bigger filters for similarly sized motors will work, but no real purpose to them. Better to find the filter with the best filtration properties for the type of driving/oil you run, vs one that holds an extra ounce or 2 of oil

because, a lot of people buy a cheap oil filter, but get the one that holds more oil in it for a "piece of mind"... I myself though perfer just to go with mobil1 5w30 and a quality mobil1 m1-108 filter. Cant go wrong, gotta figure, mobil1 expected people to use their filter with their oil.
