Alpinaman Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) I always service my own cars... we be daft not too as it's my job .. Despite my Z only having done 1200 miles since last service at Nissan last year and now 8200 miles overall I decided to change all the filters and oil .. No plugs as I didn't see the point at the mileage .. Anyone care to take a guess at the costs? Oil filter Pollen filter 2 x air filters Sump plug crush washer Valvoline 5-30 synpower synthetic oil. All filter blue print.. Edited November 8, 2016 by Alpinaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Not used blue print but Mann would probably check in at around £100 assuming the lil cost you about 30 quid. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richf Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I wouldnt use a blue print oil filter , a genuine one is £10 , in fact I'd use genuine air filters as well , not that they or the pollen filter should be required at this mileage .

rabbitstew Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I think when I serviced my zed last it was about £50 all in for the parts incl oil. The oil filter was the same one as they fit to both Nissan Micra & Nissan Navara. In fact that reminds me, I still have an oil filter in my garage, must stick it on here & sell it as I no longer need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinaman Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 Yes.. Direct fit oem spec.. It's good stuff, never had a problem with it. We don't do so many Japanese cars now, I had a lot of work 10+ yrs ago on the JDM stuff as I'm ex ralliart tech.. Mainly do diagnostic end of the scale now and majority of the work is trade... Although we still have a customer base of around 500 that have been with us for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
