thank you chris, i've made an appointment for oil and filter change, unfortunately they haven't got anything available for another 10 days so i'll drive as little as possible till then. kicking myself for this now

ChrisSlicks

Well it's in there now so I wouldn't freak out. Just drive your 5000 km and do an oil change as normal. How many miles do you have on the car?

it's only driven 5800km, i just serviced it on thursday, added the nulon friday and realized it was a very bad idea when i saw the responses here. i figured i'd take it back to nissan as opposed to any mechanic (midas/pep boys/etc). i know an oil change is simple and straightforward, so maybe the sooner the better, but i'd have to call on Monday to find out.

i spent money on the stupid nulon to begin with, but if necessary i'd prefer to spend the money and fix the problem as best i can

also what petrol should i be using? premium 95, premium 98? i figured 98 is a cleaner burning fuel, but i was dead wrong about the nulon so thought i'd check this too.

and yes chrisw, new here and very concerned so i thought i'd make this thread to get some input as i'm new to all this, everyone's comments are much much appreciated, thank you.

Then please just as a for future reference, use the search feature, or just take a peek in the Engine section of the forum at the hundreds of Oil threads that will answer your question completely.

Don't worry, one application isn't going to do any damage, you would have to keep adding the stuff every oil change before there was a problem. Most of it is probably already safely inside your oil filter

As for fuel, 95 RON (equivalent of 91 AKI) is the minimum you can safely run, but you can potentially get better performance with 97/98 RON (equivalent of 93/94 AKI in the US).

your ok just get it out of there. all you need is a good brand oil and filter
and your set. oh and check your oil every fill up...

plus if i was you and my dealer told me i had to wait 10 days for an oil change
i would either change dealers or learn how to do it myself

munz

yup, will do as soon as i get time in the day to take the car over. much appreciated

No midas/pep boys/etc...around? If you want to change it change it. Otherwise don't worry and change at next scheduled interval.

I personally would just drop the oil with 5 qt of fresh. Filter holds very little.
