As above. Need to get the Zed an oil change. Would you also stick to genuine oil filters?

Short answer is yes the blue OEM or Nismo filters. I just think personally for a few pounds potential saving it's just peace of mind to have an OEM one.

Yes - I've been using these A5208-H8904. Don't forget the copper crush washer for the sump oil drain plug 11026-JA00A

Just realised you asked about oil. People seem to vary largely on that. I settled on 0W-40 Mobil 1 Fully Synth for mine.

Yup - OEM only..... Wix is a suitable substitute, but why deviate from Nissan's original when they are so easy and cheap to buy? Not worth the risk IMO 😉 

Thanks guys.

I saw Hks filters etc, so wasn’t 100% weather to bother or just go for the nissan ones (wasn’t looking for a cheaper alternative)

Mobil 1 was what I was thinking but saw 0w-40, 5w-30 and 10w-40 and had no idea which to go with

Hi Trevor,

Minimum upper grade of "40" anything else will be too thin at full operating temperatures... 😉 

For some reason, I have never gotten on well with Mobil-1 and prefer to used Shell Helix Ultra 5w40 in a fully synthetic - or if I stick with the originally specified semi, it's Castrol Maganatec 10w40

We all have our preferences, ask 100 of us and you'll get 150 answers LOL!!!

Absolutely no need to go fully synthetic , a good quality 10w 40 semi synthetic with a genuine Nissan filter is more than enough to protect the engine and cheap enough to do 5k mile changes.

Thats based on doing + 1000 oil and filter changes on zeds in the day.
