Filters

[philmar]

Has anyone used Sakura filters in their 3.0 diesels?
E-bay sell them as a set, Air/Fuel/Oil for around $60.00 including freight
which sounds pretty good, but am concerned if the quality is good.

I have seen them but haven't used them sorry, no reason couldn't give them a try though.. I always use genuine Nissan filters in mine.. if quality is a concern may be worth spending the little extra for a brand you know, not necessarily genuine.. maybe something ryco ect??
Sorry couldn't be more help mate

I guess I would agree with you fletcha. A few dollars extra might give more peace of mind.

As part of my job I sell filters, Compare Sakura filter with say a Ryco filter, and you will see that the Ryco filter has far more pleets of filter paper, so efectivley a greater area of filtering area, the same normally goes with oil filters, just harder to compare without cutting open. At the end of the day you get what you pay for.

No need to go to Nissan, Ryco filters are made to OE quality and ther is a fair chance they will be cheaper than Nissan. Most parts outlets will have a choice of filters
