oil grade

[CMF_shalon]

can anyone tell me wat oil grade and the factory specs of the micra oil filter....also how much quarts does the micra engine uses pls

Nissan recommends using their special blend 7.5W 30... but u can also use 10W 40 or 10W 50.

The part number for the oil filter is 15208-53J0A (this is an australian part number so it may differ a little in other countries)

not sure on quarts, but it takes 3.1 Litres

Better still to find a 5w 40 as your covering yourself that way.

i find that 5w 40 is too thin and will not hold oil pressure as well as the others...

Oil pressure no longer is not really a major factor for engine component protection. It is still important but for a naturally aspirated engine which isn't overly stressed like the CG13 what is more important is a quality oil which will hold its own when under stress (there's heaps to it but i cant be arsed going into it)

5w40 is a bit thin, a 10w40 is more common and does the job fine.

I would only step up to a 50 weight oil if the motor is tired. I used this in my K11 when it had less than 140,000km on the clock.. It drove and sounded better with 10w40. The 15w50 made it feel really old and lethargic for lack of better adjectives.
