Post subject:	Finding Fairway Filters Outside The UK?
Hello all Trying to treat our Fairway right. It's time to change filters and fluids now that she's out of her winter- SORN. Air filter was easy enough, and I think I can find the right no. on the oil & fuel filter!?! The internal auto filter proved a bit trickier.. I called the local Nissan garage and explained what I needed. No problem.... whip it out and bring it here and we'll order it for you, probably be a week or two.. Does anyone have the correct name/product no. for the filter? Don't want her standing idle for weeks There's always eBay, it'd be nice to buy locally mind All the BEST! /M

I dug a little deeper, with some help from eBay.. I recognised the name Mahle from when I bought the air filter. Found this on their website: Air filter element LX 1 MAHLE Original KNECHT WARNING! Oil filter Spin-on oil filter OC 273 MAHLE Original KNECHT Oh No It Is NOT Their website may say so but the filter that came of the cab 30 minutes ago is the OC 33 Good thing in all this is that the 33 is roughly a third as £££ compared to the wrong'un Sorry if I misled anyone Fuel filter Spin-on fuel filter KC 67 MAHLE Original KNECHT I'll buy some and see if they fit M.

its HIGHLY unlikely you wont have a supplier near you selling the filters, take the info you have to a parts shop/factor and ask filters are almost universal once you cross-refer
