Yep, I have the same problem with my '99 I30. Also had it on a '96 I30. Infiniti was good about trying to solve the problem on the '96, but to no avail. They changed the timing chain, plus a host of other things. Never fixed it. You did hit the nail on the head, however, with the anti-drainback issue, IMHO. I, too, changed to a Purolater Pure-One filter on the '99, and the problem has not occured since. I tried this as the Pure-One claims to have a superior anti-drainback valve...and so far, I believe it. |

I saw mobil 1 oil filters in the store at $10.00 each. Are they that much different? Can a person go longer between filter changes when using a synthetic oils? I am thinking of using synthetic oil in my truck. |

There's a webpage about an involved study of oil filters. It's extremely informative, possibly too much so for some, but it involves objective and subjective data, and is very eye-opening. http://minimopar.simplenet.com/oilfilterstudy.html |
