MDomotor Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Hi guys! I get the viscosity of the oil for our zeds should be 5w30 fully synthetic as a general guide. My question is what ACEA standard is needed? Bought some Castrol edge 5w30 with ACEA standard ‘C3’ but looking up on C3 it states it can be used in Diesel engines with a DPF but also can be used in petrol engines… have I bought the correct oil? Thanks Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevezzz Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 yes C3 is recommended by Nissan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
