1st Oil Change

07cajuntitan · 07-29-2007, 03:55 PM

So I hit 1500 miles on my Titan about the time my wife's Camry was due for it's oil change, and I decided to do them at the same time. I had never put the two filters side by side, but the Toyota OEM filter that goes on the 4cyl Camry is a little bigger than the Nissan OEM filter for the Titan. I know the Toyota filters are excellent, and I considered trying to put one on the Titan, but then I thought the operating pressures or something like that might be different. Anyway, I thought I would share that.

Never ever just change filter types! Many feaures determine how it works, and a casual change of type is a quick trip to the junk yard! The nissan filter does a great job, dont worry about it at all.

What mileage is your first oil change due? I thought it was 3,000 just like most other cars!

3750 is the std, but many change the original oil sooner, in case excess metal dust is in from the mfg process.

I changed mine out at the three month interval. Interesting note about our oil filter. I have been using the K&N filter lately, and the Titan uses the same filter as my 6 cylinder Accord.

I've used the KN HP1010 with no issues
