Nissan/Datsun Frontier Oil Filter

The oil filter plays a vital role in your engine as it filters out any impurities that may be present in the engine oil. This increases the longevity of your engine, and without a clean oil filter, the engine's internals will wear out quicker. If your Nissan/Datsun Frontier oil filter is due for a replacement, you can order a replacement from AutoZone.

How to Replace Your Nissan/Datsun Frontier Oil Filter

Replacing the oil filter on your Nissan/Datsun Frontier is a simple process that can be accomplished with some basic tools. Raising your car on a ramp and removing the front skid plate will let you easily access the oil filter located on the underbody. Before replacing the oil filter, empty the oil that's inside the engine into a drain pan by pulling the engine oil drain plug. Use an oil filter wrench to loosen and remove the old oil filter. Coat the gasket on the new filter with some fresh engine oil and use your hand to tighten it onto the oil filter housing. To complete the process, plug the oil drain and top up the engine oil to the recommended level.
