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 :shock:

There's always eBay, it'd be nice to buy locally mind :wink:

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 :twisted: OC 273 :evil: MAHLE Original KNECHT
Oh No It Is NOT :shock:
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 =D>

Sorry if I misled anyone :oops:



Fuel filter Spin-on fuel filter KC 67 MAHLE Original KNECHT

I'll buy some and see if they fit :P

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

Put a glass top on the gearbox and you have a stylish table in front of the settee.
and more room in the garage..

Job done =D>

The gearbox is the Nissan/Jatco E4N71B.
You'll probably find the parts you need at your local Nissan dealer. 8)

-Yes?

-Filters! For the engine and automatic gearbox please :)

-Do you have the Nissan 12-number code please, starts with a letter!
-Ehhr, No! But I can give you the Mahle/Knecht code for the oil and fuel filter, and I know what Nissan cars the gearbox was fitted to :D

-That won't help!

-It's parked outside :)

-Yes?

-Maybe we could take a butchers =D>

-Not really, but if you get under the car and look for the gearbox code we might be able to find that filter for you..

-Good Bye!!! #-o
