Recommended Posts

My z is overdue a service which is booked for this Wednesday. I noticed the oil pressure is quite low and the engine is making a sort of rattling noise. I'm thinking of topping up he oil until the service. Which oil type do you guys use in your z's. Im using semi synthetic so will stick to that

5W30 fully sync is what you should be using.

 

Do not run your car until you have the oil topped up even if it means walking to the oil shop.

Won't it affect my car if I'm using semi synthetic to switch to fully? What do Nissan use when servicing?

 

You are worried about the different oils effecting your car :scare:

 

I would be more concerned about the low oil pressure and the noisy engine and the damage that you have definately caused by running with very little oil in your engine.

I really don't understand why people don't check their oil on a regular basis.

It's 2nd nature for me to check mine every week.

 

As Alex says, why are you worry about semi vs fully when your engine is clearly not happy.

How long have you been driving it with the engine noise and low pressure?
