Frequently Asked Questions

6 common questions answered

Is the oil filter replaced every time a 2016 Nissan 370Z has its oil changed?Yes, the oil filter should be replaced with the oil according to the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule.

For the 2016 Nissan 370Z, the manufacturer’s published schedule calls for oil filter replacement every 5,000 miles. Replacing it with the oil keeps collected debris from remaining in a loaded filter. The bypass valve can open when a filter loads, allowing oil to circulate unfiltered.

  • Filter replacement is scheduled every 5,000 miles.
  • The filter holds debris carried by engine oil.
  • A loaded filter can allow unfiltered oil to circulate.
What is included in an oil filter replacement on a 2016 Nissan 370Z?The service includes a filter matched to the engine’s specification, a new drain plug gasket or washer where applicable, and a leak check after the engine runs.

The filter is replaced alongside the oil so the new oil flows through a fresh filtering element. After the engine has run, the filter seal is checked for leaks. The service is designed for the 3.7-liter V6 engine fitted to this vehicle.

  • Engine-matched oil filter.
  • New drain plug gasket or washer where used.
  • Post-service leak check at the filter seal.
What happens if the oil filter on a 2016 Nissan 370Z is not replaced?A loaded filter may open its bypass valve, allowing oil to circulate without being filtered.

The engine can still receive oil, but it may no longer receive filtered oil. The filter continues collecting debris until it loads, so carrying one filter across multiple oil changes can reduce the filtration available to the engine. The manufacturer’s maintenance schedule determines the replacement timing.

  • Debris remains captured in the aging filter.
  • The bypass valve may open as the filter loads.
  • Oil can circulate without filtration.
Does a 2016 Nissan 370Z need a specific oil filter?Yes, the filter must be matched to the 3.7-liter, six-cylinder V6 engine, and filters are not interchangeable across engines.

The correct filter supports the engine’s intended fit and sealing arrangement. Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa matches the filter to the engine actually fitted rather than treating filters as universal components. The filter is replaced with the oil so debris collected during operation does not remain in service.

  • Engine displacement: 3.7 liters.
  • Engine configuration: six-cylinder V6.
  • Filter selection is matched to the fitted engine.
Can the oil be changed on a 2016 Nissan 370Z without changing the filter?The oil can be drained and replaced separately, but the manufacturer’s schedule calls for replacing the oil filter every 5,000 miles.

Changing the filter with the oil provides a fresh element to capture debris in the new oil. A filter that has already collected material may eventually open its bypass valve, allowing unfiltered oil to circulate. The vehicle’s maintenance schedule and service history determine when the next replacement is due.

  • Oil filter replacement is scheduled every 5,000 miles.
  • The filter collects debris from circulating oil.
  • Filter service should be considered with the oil change.
