Sarnie Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Which oils for our Zeds? Anyone? Most people seem to use Motul But which one? 5-30w i think Quote
Guest prescience Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Which oils for our Zeds? Anyone? Most people seem to use Motul But which one? I used 5w-40 but 5w-30 is fine as is 10w-40 - see here http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=53372 Quote
max Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 I use silkolene pro s which comes in a 5 litre tin where as the motul comes in a 2 litre tin,you req 4.75 litre(correct me if wrong)for a full change, motul is £45 for 4 litres but you would need to buy 6 litres, silkolene is only £50 for 5 litres both are good oil. max.

Kev946 Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 I used 5w-40. Has a wider range. I usually use Silkolene Pro-S, but the Motul stuff is very good too. Quote
oilman Posted March 1, 2007 Author Posted March 1, 2007 5w-30 or 5w-40 are the most popular, as said above Silkolene or Motul. Cheers Guy. Quote
Removed Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 I am going to try Amsoil this time. 5W 30 Cheaper than Motul too PS normally I like having some extra oil in buying the Motul, as I need to top up. Basically, assuming they put in exactly 4.7L at the previous service, I've used nearly all the leftover to top up, so my car does use a bit of oil, although ~1L in 9k miles is acceptable imo. (and according to Nissan) Quote
amsoil Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 I am going to try Amsoil this time. 5W 30 Cheaper than Motul too Good Man, also beats both in independant testing! Quote
jim Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 My Silkolene arrived today - service and MOT due next week. Thanks guys at Opie Oils. Quote
Guest prescience Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 I am going to try Amsoil this time. 5W 30 Cheaper than Motul too Good Man, also beats both in independant testing! How do you plan to quantify whether it is as good, better or worse for the Z specifically - other than its cost-effectiveness? To amsoil, given that I am sure you will always say every application is different (subtly or not), is the testing evidence specific or generic and if so, can you justify jumping in on another trader's thread to point to your product Devil's Advocate Inc.

amsoil Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Amsoil is famous for having all its products tested against other leading brands in many ways. All these facts are easily found by searching. I am sure Guy at Opie will be equally delighted to take your money for the Amsoil he sells as for the Mobil etc. As for being best for a particular car ie the Z ? As I am sure you are aware (with one eye on the devils advocate bit) no one can say this for any car or product as there are just too many variables. All that you can say is that if you have the best at a competitive price you have a head start. As for the other two oils specifically mentioned, I do rate Motul and have always said so, No comment on the other as it is someone elses thread. Quote
Removed Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 I actually purchased this through Simon @ Opieoils Quote
Beavis Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Think i will go the amsoil route too and its cheaper. Quote
Beavis Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Think i will go the amsoil route too and its cheaper. Ordered 5w-30 Amsoil. Now car is not due to be serviced until 12500 as first service was at 12 months and the car had done only 3500 miles or june which will be 12 months since last service. Now i would like to change oil now so do i do it? get nissan to do it separate from main service or what? Also does anyone recommend using a flushing oil in beforehand before going fully synthetic?
