6 common questions answered
Is the oil filter replaced every time a 2017 Nissan GT-R has its oil changed?Yes, the oil filter should be replaced with the oil on a 2017 Nissan GT-R.
The filter collects debris carried by the oil, and a loaded filter can open its bypass valve so oil circulates without filtration. Replacing both together avoids carrying a loaded filter into the next oil interval. The manufacturer’s published schedule calls for oil filter replacement every 6,000 miles.
- Filter matched to the 3.8-liter V6
- New drain plug gasket or washer where applicable
- Filter-seal leak check after the engine runs
What is included in an oil filter replacement on a 2017 Nissan GT-R?An oil filter replacement includes a correctly matched filter, applicable sealing hardware, and a leak check after the engine runs.
The service replaces the filter alongside the oil rather than treating the filter as a separate, extended-use item. A new drain plug gasket or washer is used where the engine requires one. The filter seal is checked after the engine runs and oil pressure is restored.
- Engine-matched oil filter
- New drain plug gasket or washer where used
- Inspection for leaks at the filter seal
What happens if the oil filter on a 2017 Nissan GT-R is not replaced?If the oil filter is not replaced, it can load with debris and allow unfiltered oil to circulate through the engine.
A bypass valve prevents a loaded filter from stopping oil flow, so the engine may continue receiving oil. The issue is that the oil is no longer being filtered. An oil-pressure warning, a noisier-than-usual engine, or oil that darkens quickly after a change warrants attention and an inspection.
- Debris remains held in an aging filter
- Bypass valve may open as the filter loads
- Oil can circulate without filtration
Does a 2017 Nissan GT-R need a specific oil filter?Yes, the filter must be matched to the 2017 Nissan GT-R’s 3.8-liter, 3,839 cc V6 engine.
Filters are not interchangeable across engines because filtration and sealing components must suit the engine they serve. Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa matches the filter to the engine actually fitted rather than treating every filter as the same. No part number is needed to book the service.
- 3.8-liter engine displacement
- 3,839 cc engine displacement
- V6 engine configuration
Can the oil be changed on a 2017 Nissan GT-R without changing the filter?The oil can be changed separately, but the filter should be replaced with the oil on a 2017 Nissan GT-R.
The filter holds debris collected from the previous oil interval and can load over time. Once loaded, its bypass valve opens and unfiltered oil circulates, so extending the filter across two oil changes defeats an important part of the service. The manufacturer’s published maintenance schedule specifies filter replacement every 6,000 miles.
- Filter captures oil-carried debris
- Loaded filters can activate the bypass valve
- Fresh oil and a fresh filter work together
