Help - Oil Light

[MrsNiki]

 

What year is the car? It's worth noting that the revup engines (2006? I think that's the right one?) have been known to burn oil, so if that's the case you may want to keep a keen eye on the levels... just ask Octet how many litres he went though at Wales last year.

 

Yeah mines a 56 plate and i burn about 1L per 1000 miles, known issue so its worth keeping an eye on. Not quite as bad as Adrian's was though....

Try changing your oil. I changed from using motul and castrol edge to Fuchs Titan race pro and it's cured my oil burning issue. I used to burn a litre every 2k but that was high revving and giving it the beans. I barely use any now.

So you really need to change the sticker on your car

I'm intrigued to know why Fuchs Titan Race Pro doesn't burn like the previous brands.

Not too sure mate. Possibly a better quality of oil and able to withstand higher temps? I'm unsure.

 

Mobil1 was the worst out of any oils i've used

I a a new 350z owner - I only do about 5k miles a year (maybe more now)! How often should I check oil level and what oil should I use to top up, does it have to be a specific type? Don't want my oil light coming on thanks

you should use a 5w-30 fully synthetic, i personally use fuchs titan pro-s, i think its brilliant stuff but its not cheap. check it weekly or fortnightly its up to you, the more regular the better, better safe than sorry
