Click on 'members' and choose 'nissan' under car brand. All the stockists are there. I normally go to Fong Tat at Serangoon Road.

I just got mine from Fong Tat @ Serangoon a few days back. It's the original stock filter. Got it for around $22.

no issues becos u are using OEM aka original oil filter mah.......

few years back.... there are ppl selling relatively cheaper oil filter (not Nissan) which claim tat it has the same spec of original filter..... those bros who got those....experience engine oil leakage due to the "O"/gasket rubber ring premature hardening & crack.... the worst case result in engine overhaul as the pistons did not have sufficient lubrication due to leakage

the other time.... its Hyundai.... different colour of filter metallic casing (original is blue, while the cheaper ones are black).

problem then is found only when oil leak & they found the hardening of O ring....

so far never heard any issues with Nissan..... just be cautious rah..... if wanna buy externally.... always buy from stockist  :smile:

just checked with Nissan stockist, there are 2 types of oil filter for Latio:

1)OEM,  made in Thailand, Genine part, $7+GST, Blue color
2) original,  made in Japan, $9+GST, Gray color

remember last time, free service in TCM, they used cheaper one...
