First question i have is about the engine oil grade. Im currently using Castrol 15w 40 but i see that you all use 15w 50. This manual here recommends 40 grade oil for tempretures over 30 degrees.
www.zabatt.com/images/product%20manuals/0C1947.pdf
So should i switch or not?
After reading about the K&N filters i decided to try them so i went to car botique and brought both oil and air frop in filter. I like the air filter because instad of buying a new one every 2 months or so you just have to take it out and clean then pop it back in pretty cool.
But the oil filter had me wondering what is the difference in the Fram oil filter which costs 20tt and the k&n filter which costs 95tt? |
You know I do not know what oil i using
I doh know the brand...I do not even know what grade
When time for the tune up I will select the oil I want  |

fras, next time i have to buy i will check the intense white
QG, you have the balls to walk in here and say that u don't know what oil u using
teh only way taht is acceptable is if u now get teh car and haven't done an oil change yet
else
idle should be along shortly to keep u company |

ok so i did an oil change yesterday and the mech said that they recommend 20w 50 for my car so i said no probs ill change next time.
I asked him wats the difference between the K&N oil filter and the fram and he said pretty much nothing so i was a bit disappointed.
Oh BTW i need all the mounts and 2 front shocks but that guy federal is quite in sando hes a bit too far for me, anywhere else i could get those parts preferably new trying to stay away from DM. |

the oil rating in the CS Manual based on temperature are as follows:
minus 10 to positive 50 or more degrees Celsius
SAE 20W-40, 20W-50
minus 15 to positive 50 or more degrees Celsius
SAE 15W-40, 15W-50
minus 25 to positive 50 or more degrees Celsius
SAE 10W-40, 10W-50
minus 25 to positive 40 degrees Celsius ONLY
SAE 10W-30
minus 35 or less to positive 20 degrees Celsius
SAE 5W-40
minus 35 or less to positive 10 degrees Celsius
SAE 5W-30
the green and red bodies are workable in our climate
the blue bodies would burn out too quickly.
by those calculations n@ti, i would say we both are reaching temperatures above 40 degrees C thats why we are experiencing frequent burn off.
i think next change il try the 15w-40 |

venum, this year October will be 2 years since the Lancer was purchased and NO TUNE UPS what so ever was done since I got it from Dealer.
The oil level close to minimun level, the brake pad worn out...drum disc gone (handbrake bearly holding), air filter never changed (i does dust it out and place it back in)...never got injectors cleaned...CVT fluid never changed as well (OF course the dealer gave me brand new fluids from purchased) etc.....
SO i really don't know what oil I have.
P3UNG, me eh lie  |

I know the Supervisor for Federals really well, I do most of my shopping and tune ups there (Nissan AD)...make the effort and go, price is really good. |

P3UNG right now i using castrol 15w 40. But as idlemind posted the oil rating i see that my mech might have a point because the coolest temp here is around 25 degrees celcius and the SAE 20W-40, 20W-50 is the closest to the high and low temps here so i think i would change to 20w 50 next time.
QT i living quite in St. James so is a long drive to get to sando (well for me) so if i could get them mounts and shocks in pos at a good price ill take that option first. |

sigh . . .
so remind me again why it even matters what kind of oil u using
here is a simple fix for your low oil problem - top up with some Naisa soyabean oil or dump some pig lard in the engine
the rest of things aren't a problem, they can last forever |

a few friends of mine who are mechs said that it driving at its best so i dont think the change will make a noticable difference. I just want to use what is best for the engine.
i might very well check federal cause i dont think ill get better prices else where but that drive is a killer boy gezz. |
