Service advice

[George k11]

Hello to all

Just came from Nissan and they gave me the above parts for service.(pictures)
Except the oil that i bought it seperetly from your suggestions from here. Some friends here suggest 5w30 and some others 10w40.because here in Cyprus is not so much cold i decide to go with the 10w40.
I guess is ok.
The oil filter they told me that is the same factory from japan that produce the oem nissan oil flter.(dont know if is true)
BUT... Nissan gave me different plug than the engine allready install from the michanic.
Nissan gave me NGK BKR5E-11 but the michanic put NGK BKR6E-11 witch one is the correct for your opinion?


Thanks for the advice guys

10w40 semi-synth seems to be the norm for micras.
bkr5e is the standard spec.
bkr6e runs cooler and may foul bit more in a normal engine. I run bkr6e cos mine runs abit hotter being turboed and stressed on track.

I ask them about the oil and they said me if you put oil here we will put you15w40.
Wtf?

Oil grade will depend on climate temps from cold start upto working temp, engine wear and oil pressure.
In cold UK 10w40 is the normal and if it starts burning oil on cold starts we use 15w40.
