Hey guys!

 

After some thought and seven years of owning Zed, I had decided to look into selling up. But! after removing the power steering solenoid, cleaning it up and tracking down some new o-rings (which I managed to find for 50p from GTP engineering, instead of £20 plus from Nissan and a three week wait) then taking him/her out for a spin, have decided to keep him.

 

I was wondering what oil you guys use? It's been a while since a change, due to doing so few miles and its still pretty clear. I think my usual choice is either 0-30 or 5-30?

 

Next job... front shocks and pads

For your reference these are the two pages from the UK spec owner's manual for capacities and lubricants:

 

 

10w40 semi, often shell helix

PMSL.....

 

We all have our preferences for oil...:lol:

 

My only advice is to say that a "30" grade when hot is too thin for a twin turbo! Go for nothing less than a "40" grade - either a 5w40 synthetic or a 10w40 semi (which is what Nissan recommended). Stick with the usual good quality brands and you'll be just fine....

 

 

……..And the worms remain sealed inside the can.....:biggrin:

Groundhog Day! And Highlander?? Both excellent films :-).

Thanks for the advice guys, much appreciated. Oh and I have no turbos , does that make a difference to lubricant needs?

This question may only be answer by yourself. Which ones are the REAL ghostbusters?

There are some classic films that just can't be re-made, or even copied. The words Cult and Iconic are never overused when talking about Ghostbusters.

Hi Matt,

The captions relate to the question that comes up time & time again!

Having owned a z for you say seven years? Are you now asking which oil:huh:

Some of the owner on here change their oil every six months regardless of miles done.

I know some maybe very excessive but oil is relatively cheap compared to a problem engine on the z.

I use 10/40 oil

Ahhhh, things like that just go over my head sorry hahha. It does sound like a simple question, but I just couldn't remember what I'd used previously? The car runs superb, but as I'm doing about 2-300 miles per year, I thought from now on I'd change it once. Any major issues I had used to go to zedword .

Yep 10w/40 seems the way to go though, thanks Art.
