6 common questions answered
Is the oil filter replaced every time a 2013 Nissan Murano has its oil changed?The oil filter should be replaced with the oil service on a 2013 Nissan Murano so the new oil passes through a fresh filter.
The filter captures debris carried by the oil, and a loaded filter can open its bypass valve. That allows oil to circulate without being filtered. The exact maintenance timing should follow the manufacturer's schedule and the vehicle's service history.
- Fresh filter matched to the 3.5-liter V6 engine
- Drain plug gasket or washer renewed where applicable
- Filter seal checked for leaks after the engine runs
What is included in an oil filter replacement on a 2013 Nissan Murano?An oil filter replacement includes a filter matched to the engine's specification, a new drain plug gasket or washer where used, and a post-run leak check.
The filter is replaced alongside the oil so debris collected by the old filter does not remain the active filtering element. After the engine runs, the filter seal is inspected for leaks. At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa, you can schedule service for this work.
- Engine-matched oil filter
- New drain plug sealing component where applicable
- Leak inspection at the filter seal
What happens if the oil filter on a 2013 Nissan Murano is not replaced?If the filter is not replaced, it can load with debris and open its bypass valve, allowing unfiltered oil to circulate.
A loaded filter does not necessarily stop the engine from receiving oil; it stops the engine from receiving filtered oil. That can allow the debris held by the oil to continue through the lubrication system. No specific fault should be assumed without an inspection.
- Oil may circulate through a loaded filter's bypass valve
- Debris may continue moving with the oil
- The engine may sound noisier or show an oil-pressure warning
Does a 2013 Nissan Murano need a specific oil filter?Yes, the filter must be matched to the 2013 Nissan Murano's 3.5-liter, 3,498 cc V6 engine.
Oil filters are not interchangeable across engines simply because they look similar. The correct filter is selected for the engine actually fitted to the vehicle, without relying on a guessed part. A technician can match the filter during the oil service.
- 3.5-liter engine displacement
- 3,498 cc engine displacement
- V6 cylinder layout
Can the oil be changed on a 2013 Nissan Murano without changing the filter?The oil can be drained and refilled separately, but the filter should be changed with the oil service on a 2013 Nissan Murano.
Keeping an old filter in place leaves the new oil working through a filter that may already contain collected debris. Once loaded, the bypass valve can allow unfiltered oil to circulate. The service history and manufacturer's maintenance schedule help determine the appropriate maintenance timing.
- New oil works with a fresh filtering element
- Old collected debris remains contained in the removed filter
- Filter seal is checked after the engine runs
