Anything related to the Kizashi can go here, but please look at the other headings first. Your topic may fit better under something else.

Maybe everyone knows this, but I just discovered that the Camry/Scio tC oil filters are the same as the Kizashi. At least the 2004-2010 model years Who knew? :o
Both use the Bosch D3325 and Mobile 1 M1-103A. The Bosch is a litter longer and might have a bit more capacity. That might open up filter choices by looking at what's available for the 2005 Camry or 2010 Scion instead of checking the Kizashi fits. :drive:
2011 Kizashi SLS CVT (silver)
2005 Honda Odyssey
Priors:
2009 Suzuki SX4 Cross AWD 5-speed Tech package (vapor metallic blue)

That filter also fits my Corolla.
I just picked up two Mobil1 M1-103a filters and Two 5qt bottles of Mobil1 Advanced Fuel Economy and sent in for a $34 rebate from Mobil.

The Mobil1 Advanced Fuel Economy is for my Toyota Sienna in 0W-20. I don't think 0w-20 should be used in our Kizashi's.

Mobil1 AFE also has a 0W-30 variety, which is a perfectly acceptable substitution for the 5w-30 that Suzuki specifies (differs only in cold flow properties). If you live in a particularly cold climate, 0w-30 may even be preferable in the winter months over 5w-30.
