Thanks Falcon_LS. I told him about opieoils but I think he trusts amazon more. He says he wants to use the 'proper' nissan oil to keep the car guarantee in order. http://www.amazon.co.uk/GENUINE-NISSAN-5W30-Engine-KE900-90033/dp/B00SP2A7K8 I agree with you, and im sure that opieoils is good...

I would do only the manual has gone missing. It's probably being eaten by a horse as we speak!

Hi everyone I need some help. Which oil do you use for a Nissan Qashqai 1.6dci ? it's a new car so it's the first oil change.

Thanks Garak. I'll begin the hunt for a reasonably priced A5/B5. I guess I was expecting a particular brand to be 'well known/respected' or a particular A5/B5 oil to be leading the market. If they're all much alike without many distinguishable differences then I'm probably going to go for Shell...

Please don't get hung up on my choice of words. I'll happily substitute "good" for "best". So to rephrase it; I want a good oil!? Does anybody have any GOOD A5/B5 5w-30 recommendations?

Hopefully thanks! :-) on a side note what do you guys make of this russian oil test: http://bmwservice.livejournal.com/27699.html has it been discussed before on here!? ....as far as I can tell they're heating up oil really hot and looking at the amount of residue it leaves on a glass flask...

Originally Posted By: Shannow What is your definition of the best ? Even "best" is application specific, as if I had to start my car at -40C a couple of time per year versus -10C a couple of times per year, our "bests" will vary. Because the best for either of our applications is an optimised...

Originally Posted By: weasley Question to Grace_Jones - why do you specifically want a high VI? Why are you second-guessing the Ford recommendation? This is not a challenge, it is a curiosity as to your motives. If it were me, I'd go for a 5W-30 A5/B5 type (ideally with the 913C spec as a...

Originally Posted By: bobbydavro For ford they recommend Castrol Magnatec oils. Get one with 913D as this is higher performing than 913C or ACEA. A 5W-30 is the right oil for this engine. True, I guess I don't like the sound of the Castrol because their ford oil is a Castrol 'Magnatec' and not...

Im left with choosing between the 1) Shell Helix ultra AF 5w-30 VI 170 (apparently) PourPoint -45 Flash point 192 2) Liqui Moly Special Tec F 5w-30 VI 177 Pourpoint -33 Flash Point 228 3) Liqui Moly Special Tec V 0w-30 VI 180 Pourpoint -45 Flash Point 220 NB: I know The Special Tec V is...

Would this count as a "viscosity index improver" ?!?

I contacted shell explaining how it was strange the premium oil came across worse than the semi-synthetic. Their response; Dear Xxxxx, Apologies for the delay and thank you for your patience. We have been waiting for clarity from the Passenger Car Motor Oil (PCMO) Technology Team regarding...

Originally Posted By: bobbydavro Why do you think a high VI helps when the oil already has very good fuel economy. (Hence the 913C/D spec) The fuel economy is roughly related to the HTHS of an oil, not it's VI. My understanding was that a high VI value indicated it resisted thickening at Low...

Thanks Jet I'm also questioning the importance of it meeting a ford spec such as M2C-913C or M2C-913D All the ford spec really requires is an A5/B5 HTHS 2.9 and TBN greater than 10 (in the case of 913D, 8.5 for 913C) The duratec-he engine is actually a Mazda L8 engine used in the MX-5 and...

I need to buy some ford oil for my mondeo (mk3 1.8 duratec he). Having used shell oil before I know the motor runs smoothly on it, so I looked at the options available: there is 1. Shell Helix Ultra professional AF 5w-30 2. Shell Helix HX7 professional AF 5w-30 I understand the Lower the MRV...
