compared the 105 to the 110 and 108 at autozone today and the 105 is a hell of a lot bigger than the two.

just a little question here. since the filter is a lot bigger doesnt it mean its going to take more than 5qts? and with the pathetic dipstick of ours, it going to be hard to measure.

 

Just found a place where I can buy Mobil 1 filters for $10! Went to my local EZ Lube, and they were nice enough to sell me a few M1-110 filters at their cost ($10 each) They come in a cardboard case instead of the retail box... but who cares? Beats 11.99, which is the usual price everywhere else.

that is a good deal. did you ever check out the m1-105 .. i looked at one and thought it wouldnt fit .. base is short and fat..

 

Never did look at the 105... if its a different diameter, as you noted, I wouldn't use it. It's more likely to leak.

This was a good thread to read.. getting ready to do my first oil change and was just going to get the better quality Fram filter... think I'll be purchasing a Mobil 1 filter instead now...

What about oil, I'm still looking for a definitive answer on synthetic vs. mineral based. I've been using Mobil 1 for over 4 yrs now on my other vehicles and up until I read some posts on zcar.com saying I shouldn't use syn., I've been confused...

Can someone dispel these myths so I can be confident in buying Mobil1 for my Z or will I be going to mineral based?

 

so did anyone use the M-105 ?
The dia of the M-105 is a lot more then the M-108, and I was thinking that it may cause leaks

The seal is the same on the 108/110/105 even though the diameter on the 105 is larger.

 

For christs sake it is an oil filter. It doesnt matter if you use the M105, M108, M110 or a Nissan OEM.

 

OK, what is the very best filter and oil I can use for my 350Z? What OCI do you use with this oil and what is the Nissan OCI?

 

Which filter Mobil filter do you all recommend for a Vortech Z?

 

ive always used the fram double guard on my celica with mobil1 oil, oil always came out nice and clean. im gonna continue using them on my celica, i might switch to the bigger nissan OEM for my Z though.
