Oil Change

alan93rsa · 04-07-2009, 04:25 PM

I went to my local dealer, not the one I purchased the car from, and they didn't have a clue about any special oil for the car. They told me I could bring my own oil as long as it met the API spec in the manual.

I'm doing mine at 2000 miles with Castrol Edge 5w30. I may add 1/2 bottle of Red Line ZDDP to the mix. 'Better Living Through Chemistry.' Can't remember if that was a corporate slogan or the lifestyle of the 60's

Are you changing your oil yourself, or are you having the Nissan dealer change it? Nissan dealers get their oil in 55 gallon drums.
