Hi guys,

I'm thinking about changing my oil on my 55plate? Its done 58000 and not sure whether to use part synthetic or full?
any advice?

thanks

I think it says in your micra owners handbook thing what kind of oil you should use ^_^

Just changed mine yesterday actually, well my dad did LOL
(55 plate DCI 82) Semi-Synthetic 5W-30 (which is the preferable viscosity according to the handbook)
Last year i used Semi-synthetic 10W-40

don't forget to change your filter while your at it of course

i think it depends on what the oil is already as to what you should change it with regarding synthetic or Semi...

...but i'm not sure...

Thats brill, thanks jen, i should have known about checking the owners handbook! lol

No problem... Good luck with it.....

can be a bit awkward to get to the filter...take your time
...and make sure you have something to catch the old oil when you take out the plug...otherwise it'll be alot of mess to clear up LOL

yeah i've done a couple of oil changes in the past, very messy! lol

thanks again jen
