Engine Oils?

[Nomisbear]

I was going through the service manual I downloaded, trying to find out what engine oil I should go and buy. all I found was JAS0 DH-1 which after consulting the Google encyclopaedia I have found out is just a classification for a type of oil. yet I cannot find a recommended viscosity rating.

I then had a look on the Penrite Oils website, they recommend Penrite Enviro+ 5W-30

so I'm just wondering what grade oil everyone is using?

D40 2.5 in using 5w 30 castrol edge all good with genuine filter

 

[Nomisbear]

I thought 5w-30 would be quite thin for a diesel engine. I run a 15w-40 along with Lucas engine oil stabilizer, in my landcruiser. but I suppose that is a 24 year old engine

Its what is recommended mate so that's what i use??? I questioned it too but Nissan know more than i.do ��

I use Nulon 5w-30 DPF friendly fully synthetic.

I use the same in my 11' D40...holds up well would recommend it

Valvoline MST 5w-30 over here... changed every 5,000 km.

I don't have a dpf, so use Penrite HPR Diesel 5 (5W-40)

 

[mickfromaustralia]

Yep , I use the same Penrite Oil , meets all the specs for Nissan Porsche Mercedes etc , suitable for DPF or non DPF . $ 107 / 10 litre

definetly go for the Penrite oil just make sure you select a suitable grade seeing you live in a hot enviroment.

Can't go wrong with Penrite. If it's an Auto with DPF use Enviro+ if not and your going to change at 5000K use the HPR5 Diesel 5. If your going to go out to 10,000K use the fully synthetic HPR5 5W~40. All those oils exceed the specs. required.

I also use Penrite in all my vehicles past and present. Top notch oil

 

[steel d40]

Is HPR 5W-40 passed for diesel? Can't find diesel referenced anywhere. Have been using Enviro+ for ages. Good stuff.

Have seen the Castrol edge 0W-40 diesel for $39.99 for 5l! Bargain price, but is that OK for a 2012 D40?

im looking at what is the best oil for 06 navara diesel manual its done around 280k
which would be best
thanks

I used fully synthetic 10W50) you are far better off with a 5WXX grade oil in a turbo diesel engine such as the Navara, hence why it is "preferable
