I have a GU 4.2 turbo diesel. Was initially told that I'd need 2 oil filters (by nissan and repco) each one different. Found that genuine are worth a fortune and during the Super Cheap 20% off sale brought a couple of each filter, Valvoline. Drop the oil, remove the filters and guess what, both are the same. Lucky I brought a couple of each. If you have a similar model and wish to carry spares on a trip it might be worth making sure of what you need.

Was a bit unsure of the quality of Valvoline still not sure of it's filteration quality. However with genuine filters on cold start up oil light would take up to 10 seconds to go out, on hot start a second or two. With the Valvoline filters cold start it's 2-3 seconds and hot start it's out imediately. That's got to be better.
