Guest knight_rider Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 Hey guys Anyone got the slightest idea on what the recommended oil is? I got the viscosity but no manufacturers. Please help Don't want it to blow up! Next thing, where do i get my oil filter from? Can i get it from nissan? Thanx guys Rich Quote
SuffolkZX Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 Popular oil choices are Millers 10W60 and Castrol RS 10W60, IMO the best place to get the oil filter from in Nissan, but its also available as a pattern part from most motor factors and parts stores. Quote
RichardS Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 Nissan filter only - pattern ones are not recommended and the Nissan one is probably cheaper anyway!! Any well known quality brand of synthetic oil of the right viscocity will suffice. We all have our own preferences and this stirs up quite a storm...... ;) Richard :D Quote I have something to say............ It's better to burn out than to fade away..... :tt2:
Homebrew Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 Another good one is Castrol Magnatec 10w40, and deffo get a original Nissan filter. Quote
gruntpa64 Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 Another good one is Castrol Magnatec 10w40, and deffo get a original Nissan filter. Good advice, go with that all the way!! :bow: Quote

Guest knight_rider Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 Thanx guys...she's due a change and i gotta do the dreaded matrix in a couple of weeks - its gettin a tad chilly :-( Right yeah i'll check out that shop when i copme for the bumper on monday. So whats the right viscosity...according to the nissan service manual its 10W-30 but u guys all said 10W-60....confused....mines the non turbo but i don't suppose it makes much difference Thanx again Rich Quote

IMO the "30" is too thin when hot for the harder use European cars are exposed to. I also reckon that unless you have a highly modded TT the "60" is not necessary either and being thicker at high temps will increase friction and fuel consumption. For an N/A stick with a 10w40 (or 5w40 for better winter protection at cold starts), they are also more readily available. Richard :smw: Quote I have something to say............

Oilman Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Indeed, read some of my posts 10w-60 is not mentioned and I don't recommend it because of this. 10w-40 or 10w-50 if modded and used on track is my recommendation. Do a search for posts by oilman, you'll find all the info. Cheers Simon Quote
