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.Quote:

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.Quote:
