What coolant and Oil

In the manual it states to only use Coolant from the Dealer as the engine can be damaged using other coolant, is this right?

 

Also am I okay to just top my coolant up? Or do I have to drain the system and refill?

 

I also need to top my oil up, am I right in thinking 5W30 fully synthetic is the right oil? Does anyone recommend a specific brand? i.e. Castrol etc

 

Again, can I just top up instead of doing a complete oil change?

 

Thanks

So long as you put in L250 (if you can get hold of it) you'll be fine.

I think Nissan now supply L248 which is premixed. Topping up will be fine.

 

Yes, you can just top up oil (unless its service time obviously - which is full change and filter too).

Opie Oils (trader on here) will supply no bother. I used to swear by Fuchs or Royal Purple. But each to their own.

I suddenly noticed whilst down on the coast that I had no coolant in my reservoir! I just grabbed the first one I could find in the garage and dropped a bit in with water to top it up a bit. Doing a service in a couple of weeks so will properly run it through then.

 

Will probably order from Opie Oils as well, some good deals on there at the moment.
