Omar-s Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Hi Guys/Girls, I need to top up my car with oil. Just wondering what oil i should use to top up with? Its got a full Nissan service history, but im not sure what oil they use. I do have about 3L left of Mobile semi syth 10w40 left over from my old car in the garage but dont wanna put it in if its no good, so thought i better ask. Sorry if this has been asked before Ive been looking for an answer on here and when i search for oil in the search bar it comes back with nothing. Im guessing that you need to put in a word more than 3 letters which doesnt help when i put in "oil top up" lol. Oh if it helps ive got a 2003 uk gt Cheers Omar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Just stick with the same grade and type as was put in during the service, i.e. if they filled it up with 5w-30 fully synth then I'd be happy topping with any other brand of 5w-30 fully synth you want to use. If you don't know the exact oil put in, then my example of a 5w-30 fully synth will do fine. Don't use Magnatec though as it's horrible thin watery crap.
