You're welcome

I think the equivalent is the 370Z

I quit changing the crush washers after a few years on my wife's '94 Accord. Have never changed it since on my Maxima, her Odyssey and CRV, my TL or either of my G37's.

Never a single drop of oil leaked or issue of any kind. Not telling any of you what to do; use your own judgment. I personally look at the crush washers as nothing but extra dealer profit.

Quick question...
I cleaned the air filters yesterday, they didn't seem too dirty. Car is 2011 and has 29000 km (18000 miles). What do you think about the air filters, clean enough, replace soon?

How did you clean the air filter? Non K&N filters you just replace and dispose of them.
