Hi guys, ive got a group buy running atm for royalpurple oils. I just want to check that the information im quoting is correct and to check what ratings of oil people are using :

 

 

Diff takes 2.1litres (so 2quarts by my maths) and the autobox takes 8.7 if you do the full drain of the torque converter (8 quarts). Manual box takes 3.1 litres so 3 quarts would be fine.

 

Im pretty sure these quantities are acurate, but wanted to check the ratings side of things. After searching the american zed sites it appears that people seem to use 80w90 in the diff / 75w90 manual box and a dexron III for the autobox.

 

Engine wise castrol recommend 10w60 or 10w40 for the zed.

 

The group buy can be found here

 

Thanks all

anyone?

someone must know this guys?

Details are in the online manual.

right checked and the details seem fine (thanks andyp for the link) but the manual doesnt mention the 10w60 that castrol recommends. What vis oil are people using in their zeds?

Nobody recommends 10w60, it's far too heavy for a Z (IMHO).

I think Nissan recommend 10w30, once again, it's in the manual.

strange that castrol recomend it then isnt it, i thought it sounds strange, as an alternative they said 10w40 which sounds more kind of standard, but you think 10w 30 for a manual? what about autos?

few peeps on here do use castrol Rs 10w60 but i think its more suitable for zeds running more bhp because it provides more protection in extreme conditions, nissan recommend 10w40 i personnally use fully syn 5w40 specially in winter as it circulates more quickly then a thicker oil.
