Review on πŸ”§ 15208-9E01A Genuine Nissan Parts - Authentic Factory Catalog Component by Ernest Duckett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

No more jump start!

Bought a used Nissan Frontier with 170,000 km from a Nissan dealer (Nissan Filter), all good. Oil changed, Fram filter used. The next day. Lifter tick on cold start. A month later I decided to try another change with the Wix filter. Same problem. tick tick tick 5 seconds on cold start. I've even tried SuperTech and regular old Dino Oil (as opposed to HM synthetic blend) but it still ticked. Oh wonder I decided to try the Nissan brand filter and what do you know? no more ticking! It's been over a week now and no ticks on startup. My research explains that this has something to do with cheap filters that have a bad (or no) check valve to keep the oil up in the engine after it shuts down. Will stick with the original filters from now on. Also: It's made in Mexico, not China.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Modernity
