Stew Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 There is about a million threads on oil. I use Amsoil but you can substitute that for loads of other options. I always use genuine Nissan filter and sump plug gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Oil filter - 15208-9F600 Gasket - 11026-BX000 I think there are more part numbers for the gasket but that's what I have used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmJak Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Oil change is a doddle, even I can do it. Would take it to a real mechanic if I wanted diff oil etc changing, plus get's a stamp in the old book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M350ZB Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 All it is, from what i have been told the P1 service which i am due, basically is only the oil and oil filter !Just got me thinking thats all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 The oil service is dead easy to do! Can't really go wrong with it and you can save a fortune. I'd speak with Opie and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Mark, send Chilli Red a PM and buy one their Service kits, everything you need would be in one purchase, I'm sure Gav is nearing completion of the kits, you could be the first...

Gaz Walker Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hi guys, I've been doing quite a bit of work of Z-store for booking servicing and buying servicing kits - will be finished today.

If Envy arnt doing the service is there a - item and then a + postage item for supplying everything someone would need. Just need some clarification. Oh and is the crush washer included?!!!!

mac1984 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I've just done a P2 service and the spark plug change, it's not hard and is a nice car to work on. I should find it easy being I'm technician by trade Fitting my Scorpion exhaust tomorrow at work another perk i suppose to being a mechanic, having a ramp when you need it.
