If you are giving off white smoke, I'de moniter coolant levels too while you are at it just to play safe...and I would go with Nissan OE oil filter.

i dont think the white smoke is necessarily related directly to the oil.

does your oil look like a milkshake? are you losing coolant? can you smell a sweet odor in the exhaust?

my 2001 VW golf 2.0 with 37,000 miles burned 1 quart every 1000 miles. VW calls this normal :wtf:


Did you switch to synthetic oil or something?

IIRC isnt their a problem with their ring designs or they installed a part upside down? I thought VW issued a recall for that.
