What oil's are you using ?

[navman_brent]

Castrol slx professional oe

 

[mal]

castrol slx professional oe 5w-30 is Nissans recommended oil and can be used in yd25 engines with or without a particulate filter and meets API sm/cf and acea A3 B3 B4 C3 which makes it a very good oil, better than Magnatec.

My last 2 services on my 05 D22 has been with Caltex Delo 400 15W-40. I've just clicked over 60,000km and wondering if I should be changing to something different? Its the only oil I have used on the Navara so I don't have anything to compare it too. Anyone else used this oil and changed to something else? If so why?

 

[Shonky]

Stick with that oil Jon, as far as oils go it's one of the very few that meet the JASO-DH1 standard that is recommended for the ZD-30.

penrite.........mmmmmm ))

 

[Kickars2]

jon i use the delo 400 aswell and it's a good oil,
i can feel the difference when i change the oil in it.

 

[Jon]

Well I bought another drum of delo400 and will keep using it. I think I will do the diffs and gearbox etc too while I'm at it.

 

[Al]

what are you guys paying for a drum of delo 400? 20 litre I am guessing. I've always used penrite in all my cars. Penrite HPR diesel 15 in the nav

04' ST-R with ZD30
engine: Mobil Super S plus 10w40
rear diff: Mobil Mobillube SHC ID
front diff: Mobil HD 80w90
transfer
&
gearbox: Castrol VMX-M 75w85

i change engine oil & filter every 5thou, rear diff every 20thou and transfer, f/diff & gearbox every 50thou. engine oil is barely even black when it gets changed but you get a bit of engine noise around change time.

I am using Penrite HPR Diesel 5 5W-40 on my 2005 ZD30 STR (110,000k)
This is the oil that Penrite recommend on their website for my car but I notice that nobody else seem to be using it. Is there any reason I shouldn't be using HPR 5W-40?

[jas4x4]

how often should you change the Gearbox and transfer oil? and also Diff Oils?

 

[tommy222220_0]

how often should you change the Gearbox and transfer oil? and also Diff Oils?

Personally change G'box, transfer and both diffs every 20-25 thou.
Thats doing plenty of 4wd weekends away.

If you are just driving on the black top i'd say you could extend g'box, front diff and transfer to 50 thou.

I emailed penrite a while back because of that. Its confusing because it says 15 in one area and 5 in the other on the website. Anyway they suggest diesel 15 in the email but also that there is no problems running the HPR Diesel 5 in those engines. If you’re happy with the HPR Diesel 5, they recommend you stay with it. Nissan genuine oil for those engines is actually a SAE 10W-40 oil, so HPR Diesel 5 (SAE 5W-40) will cover that nicely. I use diesel 15 now as its cheaper

hi i have been using magnatec 10w40 oil in my 06 d22 for 40000 km with genuine filter nissan recommend a b3 semi synthetic oil of 10w40 grade in the zd30.changed every 5000km oil still clean when changed .cheers pappy

 

[Al]

D22, zd30, fuchs TITAN ULTRA MC 15w-40 API CJ-4(i think will have to check). oil change interval 10,000km. unfortunatly the one we used to have (10w-40 CI-4) is no longer made. i would prefer the CI-4 grade over the DPF friendly CJ-4.

the vehicle with EGR the oil is thick and very black, the vehicle without EGR the oil is moderately black and has the consistency of new oil.

even at the $200 for 20l its still cheaper than what the local garages charge for lower grade oils.

I can get some pretty good prices on FUCHS so was thinking of trying them. the website suggests

NISSAN (Includes DATSUN)
Navara 4x4 D22, ZD30 Turbo Diesel, Manual (2001-2007)

or TITAN SUPER GTO 10W40

CG4 oils must NOT be used. Semi-synthetic 10W-40 grade recommended by manufacturer.



Just your thoughts on why the engine oil suggested is different to what you use? thanks tweake

 

[tweak'e]

TITAN SUPER GTO 10W40 is only CF rated. also its in the 4/5 litre containers. we get the 20l drums.
the heavy duty diesel oil is a fair bit better than the car oil they recommend.

 

[tweak'e]

no idea about gear and trans. its on the list to do
