Hey Guys,

About to carry out my first service on my 2017 J11 1.2 dig tekna QQ and was wondering if anyone knew the specification that is needed for the oil, whilst im sure it take a 5w-40, i am wondering if anyone knows the specification formula that is needed for the Nissan group (usually it is written on the back of the engine oil bottle) - my owners manual seems to have gone walkies.

Thank you.

It's all in the manual - attached.

However for anyone with a 1.2 engine I'd STRONGLY suggest not doing it yourself because of the widespread failures of this engine - the only hope of a Nissan contribution if something goes wrong (and even then it's not guaranteed) is to have a full Nissan Main Dealer Service History in evidence.

Is the car using any oil between services? If so how much?
