fratochi: Please what's the best oil for the nissan xterra and what is the minimum duration for change of oil The best oil is synthetic oil (0w - 20) that is if your nissan xterra is 2011 - date or you just pop your hood and see whats written in oil cover, you cant miss it. Also note that if you bought your xterra as 'belgium' then you cant really say the condition of your engine as to the nature of wear and tear from the previous owner. Read through the thread you will see some more explanation. |

I am sincerely impressed with the quality of knowledge being impacted here by so many scholarly articles. This is unlike many section sections of Nairaland where people bully themselves with thoughts of heads. I sincerely never knew cars have specified oils for them till I came across this thread. It is a surprise that the so called experts in many service sections of stations don't know what oil a car should use. My oil cap reads 5w-30 and what they can make of that is that any expensive oil in the range of N5000-10000 will do. I've been using Total 20w-50 for almost 3 years now on my camry. My question is, can I switch over to the recommended? Or is too late to do that? In addition, which of the companies sell 5w-30 in Nigeria? Mobil? Or Total? Are transmission fluids also specified for cars too? If they are, how do I know where it is? Pls help a brother. |

For best performance of your car engine, one of the things you need to know is what type of oil your car needs. Car owner often seems overwhelmed because there are different types of Engine oil out there especially because all brands promises to do different things. To choose the proper type of oil for your vehicle, refer to your manufacturer’s manual because that is where you can get the right viscosity oil e.g. 0W30, 0W20, 5W20, 5W30, 10W30, etc. In cases where you can’t find the manual, it’s also common to see the recommended oil printed on the oil cap under the hood. Factors to consider when choosing the right Engine Oil How hot or cold the climate is: the lower the number before the “W’, the better the oil works in cold weather. Additives: these are effective as anti-oxidant, anti-wear and anti-corrosion inhibitors Viscosity ratings: this is the oil’s resistance to flow. The lower the number, the thinner the oil and this makes it flow easier. In 5W-30 oil, for example, the 5W is an index that refers to how the oil flows at low temperatures (in winter); 30 refer to how it flows at high temperatures. Automaker’s standard: it is important to use oil that meets this standard. This commonly includes American Petroleum Institute (API) Certification, International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC), a joint effort of U.S. and Japanese automobile manufacturers. Synthetic oil? : Newer generation of cars come straight from the factory with synthetic oil and some auto manufacturers recommend it. It is good to put the following into consideration: • The type of oil you have been using • The type recommended by the owner’s manufacturer • The type of climate you live in • How old your vehicle is • How old your vehicle engine is DuraMAX Full Synthetic Motor Oil is manufactured in the USA, it is API rated and is available in the following SAE 5W-20, SAE 5W-30 and SAE 0W-20 ...the engine oil that puts more money in your pocket Contact Information: US Place of Autos 10, Veteran Plaza, 433 Herbert Macaulay way, St Agnes, Yaba, Lagos Telephone: 09035870964 E-mail: info@usplaceofautos.com Website: www.usplaceofautos.com Twitter handle: @usplaceofautos

Simple answer: the one recommended by the manufacturer as contained in the operating manual or written on the oil filler cap |
