Problem for fitting my sandwich plate
 

Ok,
The Nissan oil filter is too long. Do you have any idea of what Nissan car a smaller oil filter can be swapped?
Cheers.

"Knecht" or something like that i dont know haw to spell it. It's a name of a fiter producer it's 1/2-1/3 smaller then the originall one.

nissan micra turbo. when the CA18ET is usede in the Scimitars, the std filter cant be used, so the factory fitted the Micra turbo one instead:)

The problem is that the micra turbo wasn't sold here in France, so the oil filter will be hard to get too.

I'll check some oil filters this evening directly in the shop in order to find one (if i can).

Can an oil filter from N/A engine will be good too?

pretty sure other micras in the range used the same filter as the turbo. Essentially you need the same base design and thread with a shorter body.
With it being smaller in capacity i changed it more often, every 3000miles, whereas some people changed their std filters at 5 or 6000 miles.

Some Ford filters are the same fitting too. I used nissan filters on Ford race engines too:)

Precious info Ford<>Nissan compatibility can exist!

Not a problem for durability i'll often change like each 5000kms like 3107 miles ;)

Very precise oil changes;)

I founded a nice Ford oil filter, i will take some pics tomorrow.

Big thanks to CNHSS1
