Marios Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 You should only use fully synthetic on the zed. Search is your friend. 5w30 is correct grade for an n/a zed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marios Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 Won't it affect my car if I'm using semi synthetic to switch to fully? What do Nissan use when servicing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are worried about the different oils effecting your car 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.

Lexx Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 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?
