KUGT4 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 took 350Z GT4 to a Nissan dealer for a P2 service - stated wanted 5w30 in the block - they've still gone and put 10w40 in there personally do a lot mileage - heard this viscosity can affect mpg and startup lubrication...

ATTAK Z Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Take it back and tell them to put in what you asked for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Why are you taking your pride and joy to a Nissan Dealer...They don't have a clue..!!! Take it to an independent on here and get your car looked after properly. :thumbs: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Take it back and tell them to put in what you asked for This with bells on. I'd speak directly to the Service Manager and tell him your not happy as you didn't get what you asked for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 So many main dealers seem to be using generic barrel oil to service everything that comes through their door, its poor though that you specifically asked for the correct oil and they still didnt use it. As others have said get onto the service manager and tell him you want it changed, then find a good independent for your next service 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djb55 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Gawd what happened to the good old days of 20W/30, now that was an oil, at least you never heard any rattles and you could spread it on yer toast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 For future reference, tell us where in the country you are someone should be able to recommend an independent or at worst a trusted Nissan Dealership. A lot of us buy our own oil from Opie or Clarks Motorsports and use an Independent for the service work. Hope you get it sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemansim Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 You can run 10w40 and it does state this in the service manual. +1 its fine , don't worry about it +1 you don't need 5w30 unless you live in Alaska! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Nothing wrong with 10W40, ran my VQ on it, a lot of the advocated 30W oils that the manufactures state are mainly down to emissions control, and as said we don't see the climate to need 5W.
