1 JeffTT Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Peage Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Peage Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Just realised you asked about oil. People seem to vary largely on that. I settled on 0W-40 Mobil 1 Fully Synth for mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 😉 I have something to say............

0 dipone Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
