What oil should I put in my Z and how to check oil level?
 
im at work... bored at the moment guys, so i figured just ask instead of lookit up.
i was just wondering what type of oil do you guys use? just curious.
i am reaching to 5k miles so i am going to have an oil change soon, perhaps next week. i heard before a lot people saying redline oil. is that reliable ?
how many oil bottles does the Z needs ?
im definitely going with K&N filters, too.

you should look it up....use search function or just go in the right section. Oil and filters have been covered in MANY threads.

Corn oil or Extra Virgin Olive oil? Walmart sells both and I can't decide which to get... :icon14:

:roflpuke2:


PS - I'm bored at work too.

I only buy Jed Clampett Oil, and so should you! Just ask Mr. Drysdale!

Make sure to mix ice cubes in with the oil to avoid limp mode.

Son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash.

theboydiddy 09-11-2012 04:57 PM

Imma put ice cream instead. Crank the AC to keep it cold and that would do it. I'm sure

Go to the DIY section. You'll find a lot of info over there. Start with AK's sticky. Lots of guys use Redline, Royal Purple, and Mobil 1. All fully synthetic but redline is the only one of the three that is ester based - not required but recommended by Nissan. You can also get the ester based oil from Nissan. Lots of good info on Synthetic oils in the DIY section.
