Thanks guys. A great help **

Thanks guys, I've spoken to Nissan They use 5-40 oil when they do a service. Would this be the oil to put back in. as said before i put 5-30 in to top it up. think i will do a full oil change on Friday when i'm off, so i need to get the correct gear. Thanks for all your advice on this guys. Wish Nissan had told me last April to keep an eye on my oil, as i would never have guessed that it would use oil so quickly, only 30,000 on the clock no smoke or other signs. it seems that some Zeds have a reputation for using oil. Cheers guys, thanks once again.

Thanks guys, worrying but interesting, So what oil do you think i should put in.

Hi I have an 06 Z with 34000 on the clock, (it was serviced 3,500 miles ago in April 2014) recently i noticed the oil pressure fall to 1/2 what it usually is, on tick over about 15 psi and general driving about 30 psi. Every now and again there was a ticking from the front passenger side when moving but not when stationary. Any way i checked the oil and it was low, not showing on the stick. So i topped it up, it took 2.2 litres to reach mid way up the dip stick. I was shocked at this as there was no warning light signal to say the oil was low. I used Castrol magnatec 5-30 A1 (ACEA A1) This seems to have solved the problem, But i have a few questions if anybody can help. Will any engine damage have occurred, with the oil as low as it was? Does anybody know what the ticking noise was? Is it ok to mix oils the garage that serviced it say the used 10-40 Many thanks
