Qashqai Model: Still looking for one....

Post by 535d »

Hi all, our j10 1.6 petrol is due a service and is it's first in our ownership.
I cant see anywhere in the handbook about spark plugs and how many will be required.
Also im assuming 5L of 5w30 will be more than enough?
I will be replacing all filters but if there's anything else to look out for, your advice will be much appreciated.
Car is on 90k miles.

C3 and C4 oils are for diesel engines. The correct oil for the HR16DE engine as specified in the Nissan lubrication chart is fully synthetic 5W40 A3/B4 or 10W40 A3/B4.

Actually 'C' spec oils are for cars fitted for a pollution control device e.g. a catalytic converter or a diesel particulate filter.....
