hi peeps,can anyone tell me the best oil to use on my Z???,am using at mo 15/40 semi magnatech,hav read the debates about this,some say castrol rs,some say semi and some say full synthetic,was looking at duckems [cant spell it] 20\50 mineral today,an original oil for older engines,any feed back on this issue wood be appreciated,many thanks in advance

I dont think anyone uses duckhams.

Personnaly I use Millers 10/60 CFS.

I've heard probs with magnatech, but then others use it and havnt.

Used Silkolene Pro RS 10/50 in my old Z.

I'd go fully myself, others say semi is fine.

I think the manual actually says 10/40 semi.

 

So its up to you really. This topic gets discussed over and over and theres no answer!

I use silkolene pro s 10/50 race fully sinth had no problems with it very good oil. :cool:

motul 300v chrono 10/40 fully synth, as used by many in japan!

Except for me I use Duckhams 5/30 synthetic :D

any fully synth (or maybe semi synth) from a main brand with properties as recommended by the nissan manual should be fine.

At the moment I'm using Mobil 1 0/40 fully synthetic, no probs at all, excellent oil

I use Shell fully synthetic 10W-40. I figure as they are a huge oil company they can brew some good oil. And i change oil every 3000 miles. Next time is this weekend!

:rofl: I tried those but they blocked up my oil filter :D Damn worms!!

When I worked for Nissan we used 10w40 magnatec semi synthetic.

Valvoline 5-5o fully synthetic. Changed every couple of thousand miles :cool:

why change such top quality oil every couple of thousand miles, total waste of money if you ask me.

oil for older engines.

 

Don't know how true this is but I was told not to use this as can clog the turbo oil feed pipes (or somthing like that)...

Car gets serviced every couple of thousand miles, I like to keep on top of things and my M8 owns a garage :) I only have to pay parts / consumables. I get the oil for about £24 a gallon if I remember right.

i use quanium fully synthetic 10/40 which i use on all my cars and all my higher performane customers car!

never had a problem on anything!!

only 23 pound for 5 litres and trade i can get at 16 (bargain)

opened a can of worms here i think,wont use duckhams as said think the thickness wood not do the tubs any good,think i will stick with magnetech semi 4 now,i change it every few thousand miles and get it cheap as mate works in a motor factors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you bonehead, you know it cant take the heat, peanut oil is what you want FFS

Ah shit sorry thought it was transmission we were talking about. Scoops is right, peanut oil for the engine - smells just like roasted peanuts once up to temperature :rofl:

I use silkolene Pro S 10/50 or the Pro R, have not got much choice realy as ive got 20x 5 liter bottles in my garage :)

Mine has known 10/40 Semi since rolling off the line fifteen years ago. Any idea how much was spent on R and D for this car? I think I'll stick with their recommendations thanks, all I need to do is make sure of a regular transfusion every 3000 miles. Liquid Viagra don't work for cars.
