Question
I have a 1985 nissan maxima, I tried to change the oil but I can not find the oil filter. Where is the Oil Filter on this cars.

Answer
Jose',
  I am not qualified to answer this question. I'm NOT a Tech as is stated in my Profile but will suggest these options for you to consider.
  I spoke with some of my Tech customers today and have answers from "it is under the engine. He has to climb under the car to find it". To "it is on the driver's side on top of the engine".
  Obviously they are not familiar with your car. I would suggest calling your local Nissan dealer and ask for "service". IF they won't help you, I'd suggest you call a local Jiffy Lube, Valvoline Quick Lube or House of Lube. They should be able to help you.
  I know this doesn't answer your question but I hope my giving you direction helps.
  So don't hammer my chops too hard. As stated in my Profile, I'm NOT a Tech, I'm a Parts specialist. Good luck...

Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you. I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire. If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle. PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you.. Skip
