M13KYF Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 has been covered counltess times before but not for the 370z. I would of thought it the same requirements though. Whats does your service manual say. Contact the chaps at Opie oils to see what they recommend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Enlarged version of the same engine as in the 309bhp 350 isn't it, so I'd be amazed if it wanted anything other than 5w-30. *awaits to be amazed* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 One thing I have heard about for the 370z is this new Ester oil that Nissan seem to be weilding. It apparently has nono-technology which means it contains very very small cabon like particles which act like little ball bearnings on contact in the VVEL system, between the cams and followers. Was massive talk about it in the US, but think its died a death now and they all just run normal oil. See if Opie know anything about that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrh Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Bizarrely the workshop manual says 10W-30 SL/SM outside the USA, 5W-30 Ester in the USA Except for North America Genuine NISSAN engine oil API grade SL or SM ILSAC grade GF-2, GF-3 or GF-4 Viscosity SAE 10W-30 10W-30 is preferable. 5W-30 is also preferable and will improve fuel economy. If 10W-30 or 5W-30 is not available, select the viscosity, from the chart, that is suitable for the outside temperature range. For North America • Engine oil with API Certification (*1, *2) • Viscosity SAE 5W-30 (*1, *2) *1: For further details, see “Engine Oil Recommendationâ€. *2: NISSAN recommends Genuine NISSAN Ester Engine Oil available a NISSAN dealer.

lrh Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Forgot to add... With oil filter change ...... 4.9 litres Without oil filter change .. 4.6 litres Seems to be an attempt to get Americans to use less fuel... Their section says: "NISSAN recommends the use of an energy conserving oil in order to improve fuel economy." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerry3167 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I suspect silkolene PRO-S 5w 40 WILL be ok too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
