Hi my beloved Zed TT auto is going back on the road next month and is having an oil and filter change prior, what is the best oil and will any filter do??? thank you

Uh-oh!

uh-oh??? what does that mean

This is somewhat of an 'FAQ'! And generally divides opinions... Regardless of whether expensive oil is 'worth it', I use Fuchs Pro S for piece of mind. It costs a fair bit compared to your castrol gtx's and what not but I do very few miles so I only change every other year normally.

I think he's referring to this being asked many times before and a lot of different answers being given.

 

Basically a good quality 10w/40 semi-synthetic is the best all round. There's lots of info on the site about oils, have a search and you'll find what you need.

 

HTH.

I litterally do 500-1000 miles a year so will seldom change the oil, how many litres does i take?? I should know this really and what about filter

We even have our own Trader to ask....................................http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/forumdisplay.php?115-OPIE-Oils

 

Guy is a top bloke if you need to ask any real questions.

Apart from that a search on the forum will reveal as many opinions about oil as there are members.

imho with that low milage ide go for a middle of the road semi-syn and change it every year. personaly i think its better to drop good oil on a regular basis than hang on to fantastic oil and let it absorb moistuer...but thats me:wink:

I reckon I agree Bri.....

 

.....So on that basis; with your relatively low mileage, stick with Castrol Magnatec 10w40 (about £25 for 4.5 litres in Halfords). You need just short of 4 litres for a full change with filter on a twin turbo - oh and ALWAYS stick with the Nissan original oil filter and you won't go wrong!

With a halfords trade card, oil prices at halfords are very competitive. Jeff (Zedworld) sells the oil filters on here.

thanks for the advice, filter from Jeff oil from halfords as above, thanks
