Genuine NISMO High Performance Oil Filter NS5 – 15208-RN021
Protect your Nissan performance engine with the Genuine NISMO High Performance Oil Filter NS5 – 15208-RN021, a premium oil filtration component developed by Nissan's official motorsport and performance division.
Designed for compatible Nissan engines, the NISMO NS5 oil filter features an advanced filtration structure intended to improve contaminant capture while maintaining efficient engine oil flow.
Unlike a conventional filter with uniform-density media, the NS5 uses an inclined-density filtration structure, allowing contaminants to be captured progressively throughout the filter material rather than concentrating entirely on the surface.
Combined with an enlarged effective filtration area, this design is intended to reduce flow restriction, delay filter clogging and provide consistent filtration performance throughout the service interval.
The filter also features reinforced construction suited to the demands of compatible Nissan performance engines.
Whether you're servicing an RB26DETT Skyline GT-R, maintaining an RB25DET or preparing your Nissan for spirited driving, genuine NISMO filtration components provide a performance-focused alternative to conventional replacement oil filters.

What Makes the NISMO NS5 Oil Filter Different?
The NISMO NS5 is designed to provide efficient filtration while maintaining the oil flow required by compatible Nissan engines.
Conventional oil filters commonly use filter media with a relatively uniform structure. Contaminants can accumulate near the surface of the filter media, increasing resistance to oil flow as the filter becomes loaded.
The NISMO NS5 uses an inclined-density filter structure intended to capture contaminants progressively throughout the filter media.
This design allows the filter material to utilise more of its available depth and effective surface area, helping manage contaminant loading and pressure loss.
Its performance-focused construction makes it an appealing choice for enthusiasts who want a genuine NISMO service component for their Nissan.
Designed for Nissan Performance Engines
Proper engine lubrication is particularly important for high-performance engines operating under elevated temperatures and demanding driving conditions.
Engine oil carries heat away from lubricated components while helping reduce friction and wear.
The oil filter removes contaminants circulating through the lubrication system, helping keep the engine oil cleaner throughout its service life.
For Nissan performance engines such as the RB20DET, RB25DET and RB26DETT, maintaining the correct oil grade, oil level and service intervals is essential.
The NISMO NS5 provides a performance-oriented filtration option where the filter's specifications match the engine's requirements.
Ideal for Routine Servicing & Performance Maintenance
The Genuine NISMO NS5 oil filter is suitable for a range of maintenance and servicing applications on compatible Nissan engines.
- Routine engine oil and filter changes
- Skyline GT-R maintenance and servicing
- RB20DET and RB25DET engine servicing
- RB26DETT performance engine maintenance
- Engine rebuild running-in services, where appropriate
- Performance street car maintenance
- Track vehicle servicing with suitable oil change intervals
- Replacing an ageing or contaminated oil filter
Service Interval Notice: A high-performance oil filter does not eliminate the need for regular oil and filter changes. Follow the appropriate maintenance schedule and shorten service intervals where operating conditions require it.
OEM Oil Filter Reference Numbers
The NISMO NS5 may be listed as an alternative to selected Nissan oil filters, including:
- 15208-53J00
- 15208-53J01

Important: These are reference numbers only and should not be treated as universal interchange guarantees. Confirm the required thread, sealing dimensions, filter clearance and application before substituting an oil filter.
Installation Information
Before installation, confirm that the replacement oil filter matches your engine's required specification.
Remove the existing oil filter and ensure the old sealing gasket has been removed from the engine's filter mounting surface.
Inspect the mounting surface for damage or contamination.
Lubricate the new filter's sealing gasket with clean engine oil where directed by the manufacturer's installation instructions.
Install the filter according to the applicable Nissan or NISMO installation procedure and tightening instructions.
After replacing the engine oil and filter, start the engine and check for leaks. Confirm the engine oil level using the manufacturer's recommended procedure.
Important: Do not operate the engine if an oil leak is present or oil pressure is abnormal.
