    Oil Filters

    I have a 2006 Patrol Ute with 4.2 6 cylinder turbo intercooled diesel. I've been advised that there are two different oil filters ( Z503 & Z 416). Does anyone know what the difference is and how are they fitted. Which one goes to the front.

    It's pretty obvious as the threads are different. Your model however should have the engine with 2 of the same filters. Only the early td42t engines had the different ones then they went back to 2 the same

    Mine is the same as yours but a 2005, the filters are both the same.
    It is a shit changing them as oil goes everywhere. Started leaving it to drain overnight and the oil left in the filters is way less.
    Also move the fuel filter out of the way to give better access.
    Cheers

    Mine is an '06 4.2 TDi - 2 x Z503

    I have to admit my amazement that after a century of developing the internal combustion engine for automotive purposes & the '06 TDi being the end of the line of that engine's evolution that such poor consideration has been given to the ease of basic servicing. Whoever made the decision to make those filters so inaccessible should have been shot! And for any new owner .... it's impossible to see which filters you need until you remove the old ones which is a pia unless you live next door to the filter shop.

    I like the idea of letting the motor drain overnight to reduce the amount of oil in the filters.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Using filters that have an anti drain back in them also helps, it's good for start up as well as the filters stay full and oil pressure is gained quicker.
