2019 Nissan 370Z Oil Filter in Mesa, AZ

Yes—the oil filter on a 2019 Nissan 370Z should be replaced at each oil change.

The filter loads with debris as it traps contaminants carried by the oil. Once loaded, the filter’s bypass valve opens so the engine still gets oil, but it’s no longer filtered, which quietly increases wear. Replacing the filter when changing oil keeps debris control effective from day one of the new oil fill.

• Maintains filtration efficiency for the full oil interval
• Prevents unfiltered oil flow through the bypass valve
• Matches the fresh oil with a fresh, engine‑specific filter

The service includes removing the old filter, cleaning the sealing surface, installing an engine‑matched new filter, and checking for leaks after a run‑test.

On the 2019 Nissan 370Z, we also renew the drain plug sealing surface and refill with the oil grade the manufacturer specifies for this engine. After starting the engine, we verify oil pressure, inspect for seepage at the filter and drain point, and recheck the level.

• New filter fitted to the 3.7‑liter V6’s requirements
• Fresh sealing surfaces to prevent drips and seepage
• Post‑service run‑test and leak inspection

A loaded filter will send oil through its bypass valve, which keeps oil flowing but not filtered, increasing wear over time.

Unfiltered oil can circulate fine metal and combustion byproducts to bearings and cam surfaces. You may not notice an immediate symptom; the impact is gradual and internal. Replacing the filter at each oil change maintains filtration and supports stable oil pressure under all conditions.

• Bypass flow equals unfiltered oil reaching critical parts
• Increases long‑term wear without obvious early signs
• Simple, preventive replacement avoids quiet damage

Yes—the filter is matched to this engine and filters are not interchangeable across engines; the 2019 Nissan 370Z uses a 3.7‑liter, 6‑cylinder V‑engine.

Correct fit and internal valving ensure proper sealing, flow, and bypass behavior. Using a non‑matched filter risks leaks, pressure issues, or improper filtration. We install a filter selected for this displacement and cylinder configuration to meet the engine’s needs.

• Engine‑matched fitment for sealing and flow
• Bypass valve calibrated for this V6’s oil system
• Protects against pressure loss and leakage

It can be done, but it isn’t recommended because the loaded filter can push oil through the bypass valve, leaving it unfiltered.

Changing oil alone leaves an old filter managing new oil with reduced debris capacity. The point of fresh oil is undermined if it immediately circulates through a saturated element. Replacing both together restores full protection and consistent oil pressure behavior.

• Avoids unfiltered bypass flow with fresh oil
• Restores the filter’s debris‑holding capacity
• Keeps protection aligned with the new oil fill
