Oil Filter Spigot ZD30

[10G]

Did my first oil filter change on the weekend & there was no spigot in the end of the canister. I've always had my mechanic do the filter changes, just thought I'd do one for a change. I have no idea how long one hasn't been in there? I've had the truck for 4 years so it could be 4 years or just the last 5000kms.

Patrolapart want $50 for the spigot!

Wondering if anyone may know of where I could get one cheaper????

Thats cheap. They are not even sold as a spare part from Nissan.

Maybe keep an eye out for a wreck and grab the whole oil filter canister.

This may help?

Good find. I found a different listing for the same product on that site for $15 more. Thanks Plasy.

Thanks for the heads up.

Seen this post and wondered WTF! . . . Done two oil changes myself since getting my ZD30 Patrol and thought WTF is a Oil Filter Spigot!

The original Nissan Spigot (I know what it is now) is still there . . . thew!

It's the little things you learn from forums I love :-)

Maybe it was never there as they don't come out easily unless you grab them with long nose pliers.

Just Did a Oil Change today on my ZD30 Patrol . . . and no Bloody Oil Filter Spigot or what ever it's called :-(

These ZD30 oil filter spigots sound like such a design oversight. Maybe written into dealership servicing procedures but just impractical when it comes to DIY servicing. Why would they be a required design part when no other engine requires them (as far as I know)?

Plasnart, maybe not only with the ZD30.

I thought I was thinking about my D22 Navara, but my 2005 SsangYong Musso Sports that I had for a couple of years, had a Oil filter Canister as well, which had a a Spigot on the base of the oil filter too. As SsangYong used old Mercedez Benz Engines, there might be a few Merc's around with Oil Canister Spigot as well.

So my Spigot arrived today.

I'm a little surprised . . . being rather bold in size . . . I'm a little surprised it could be overlooked and thrown out with the used filter . . .

Thanks to Patrolapart

I guess they just get stuck in the filter and chucked out with it. It's a real weird arrangement I reckon and it's weird that mechanics just continue to chuck new oil filters in without a spigot being there, it looks just so wrong to sit a filter loosely into the cartridge.

I actually had my spigot come out with the filter during my last filter change so I could see how it might happen at dealerships/service centers.

This spigot dose not clip-in in any way into the base of the Filter Housing, only sits in the filter housing base.

The spigot sits nice and firmly in the filter cartridge, so it will come out with the filter cartridge during each filter change, so yes something I think I will be bringing to the attention of any workshop Staff that I might take My Patrol to for servicing in the future.
