donaldschen Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I bought Millers CF3 5W30 5L for oil change (with K&N Golden Oil Filter) But it only reach the Min, garage man told me I need 1.5L to 2L more to get to Max. Coz sport car gets oil cooler bla bla? It's true? In service book or online data, 350z only need 4.7L. did they steal my oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEADPHONES Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Normally a 5l can should be fine for a service, with left overs to boot. Reckon your man spilt some.........butterfingers style Leave zed on a level surface overnight, check in morning and if on min level or lower deffo add at least 500ml extra and check again. Never needed more than 5l for a service in my past 5yrs of ownership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Maybe you have a big sump or a sump spacer fitted. Otherwise 5 lt should take it to max. mark. Check as Headphones advises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its second hand car, i do not know if it got a big sump or a sump spacer fitted. when they finished service, they ask me to pay more for extra 1L or 2L to reach Max.

was8v Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Just stick another litre in if it needs it. Who the hell is going to steal one litre of oil?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort the top up out and just service somewhere else in future. Seeing as you're in Manchester use Lockwood and Greenwood in Audenshaw. Many NW members use them. Been great with me. Club discount too Put this behind you and get back to enjoying your ZED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
