An engine oil service is only as good as the quality of the engine oil.......and filter

I've read some bad things about Fram and Bosch

Iv'e read good things about Mann

I've also read best to use genuine Nissan filter albeit these are made by champion?

Has anyone got any particular recommedations on engine oil filters through experience :?:

Apologies if this has been covered before

 

[Umbongo]

Nissan use Mann parts in their service dept too.
Also the diesel fuel filters are made by MAHLE for Nissan

^^^ Cheers for replies.

have ordered Mann oil filter :thumbs:

Will probably look at Mann for other filters too (when needed)

What is the best engine oil to use in a 2003 2.2Di? I would always have used Castrol in any of my previous cars but am i looking for 5W30 or something else??

 

[Avocet]

I think most people are now running 5W40. I certainly am. It makes the diesels much more refined. I'm a big fan of Fuchs Titan, but I think any good quality fully-synthetic oil would be OK.

lightining quick response time batman :shock: haha

Thank you :thumbs:

I use 5W/40, Castrol Edge Diesel Turbo Oil.
If your changing the fuel filter I would recommend a genuine Nissan one as there have been a few problems with after market ones where the Di engine is concerned.

Hi,

I use Total as I can get at a good price from Micksgarage, especially when they do it on offer. Millers Oil Ireland is also very good, with next day delivery. The oil is a little more expensive, but exceeds manufacturer specs.

Kind Regards,

Eoin

im using total 5x30 but god it seems to be very rattly so got some 5x40 coming see if that helps the total has a cleaning addertive in it

 

[Trial_S15]

Thanks all, got it on micksgarage, the total was tempting but went with what i knew (the castrol)

 

[mikeyseghill]

I got 8 Ltrs of Castrol Edge 5w/40 from halfords whom price matched Euro car parts for £66 last week.

 

[x-inactive]

I just check the price on paid on special, 5 Litres + 1 Litre Top up of Total Quartz €33.64.

I'd love try other brands, just for comparison sake, but it's hard to find them at a better price, or from places that will ship here.

Kind Regards,

Eoin

 

[lovedoctor]

For Castrol Oils look at a Asda of all places! I found their oils up to £15 cheaper of the Edge compared to Opie or Halfords!

edit
Edge £8 more than I paid back in January and £7 more for the Magnatec! Must've been lucky - glad I stocked up!

i have also been trying to find this information. was hoping this sticky-ed thread was what i was looking alas not.
every where i look someone recommends different oils
eurocarparts list 6/7 different ones
5/40,5/30,10/40,10/30,15/40 etc :[email protected]
found this site https://www.nielsencdg.co.uk/oil-finder.php
but this gives me a choice also depending on brand
0/30 or 0/40 personally i would have thought these types where for more high performance cars :?:
please help :bow:
