When we bought the car, OD (autoprodix in ekb) said that only Nissan oil should be poured, otherwise they will remove the guarantee
Moreover, the oil should be changed every 15,000 and only at OD.
I don’t like the figure of 15,000 at all, I think you need to change the oil every 5-7000. I asked the OD if I buy oil myself and change it, to which I received an answer - fly off the guarantee, even if you buy NISSAN oil from the OF and change it yourself ...
Honestly, some kind of nonsense, how can an oil change take a car out of warranty? pull out the cork - pour. but somehow I don’t want to pay 2000 for this, if I don’t want to get dirty myself, then they change it in any service station for 200 rubles ...

OD ALWAYS pursues first of all the interests. There are instructions in the manual for oil. By following these recommendations, you fulfill the manufacturer's requirements. The dealer here is like a gasket between the factory and the owner of the car, nothing more. This is due to the choice of oil in the engine

If you change the oil yourself, no dealer can prove it. And most likely he will not do this, because these are his costs for examination, etc. If there are concerns about the quality of work when changing oil not at OD, ask the mechanic (locksmith) to carefully unscrew the drain plug, tighten it just as carefully and remove all oil smudges. Everything will then be covered with dust, no one will understand whether the drain plug was unscrewed or not.

Further, the mechanic at the OD simply fulfills the work regulations, i.e. he needs to change the oil, and not to study what you have and how ... Therefore, change the oil when you want and where you want, while not forgetting to come to the OD for routine maintenance.

Regarding the service interval, in my opinion, the figure is 10-15 thousand km. nothing more than the marketing consequences of the production process and auto warranty service. Oils are now such that they can withstand an interval between maintenance of 20 thousand km or more without much damage. The same Ford and Mazda quite recently in every way adhered to exactly the 20,000th run between oil changes. I don’t believe that the situation with engine materials and oil quality has fallen sharply, which was the reason for reducing the oil change interval to 15 thousand, I see this as a banal desire for financial gain.

A simple example is the United States, where there are recommendations for changing oil after 5-7 thousand miles. But at the same time, it is silent that states often use inexpensive mineral oil, which is not intended for long runs, which is the reason for frequent oil changes.

As a result, if you wish, change it yourself, in a friend's garage or in an unofficial service. Just follow the manufacturer's recommendations for oil and original consumables. If the OD suddenly has suspicions about your actions, then let him prove them, this is his problem!

He himself changed the oil on his cars based on his goals and mileage of the car, regularly visiting the dealer for maintenance. Never had a problem!

Nissan Tiida's first service is at the 5,000th milestone mark. This includes the first oil change. Further from replacement to replacement, you can ride 15,000 kilometers. The main thing is to pour good oil. Nissan oil is the same Elf, by the way. Only under a high-profile brand and with a slightly higher price. But using Elf instead of the original one may void the warranty.

At the factory, 5w40 is poured into the engine. This is a very thick oil, and it is unacceptable for winter. Of course, the car will drive, but not in the way it can. After the first five thousand, consider switching to a more liquid one. A good option for winter is 0W-20. The original 5W-20 is suitable for both winter and summer. Well, or look for oils of similar viscosity from other manufacturers.

So, the car is on a horizontal surface. We start the engine, warm it up to operating temperature, turn it off, let the oil drain, and after 15 minutes we get to work. We take a key or head for 14 and unscrew the drain plug. The volume of oil in the engine is 4.3 liters. Drains into the container a little more than four liters. We are not in a hurry, let the oil drip for about ten minutes.

Be sure to change all the gaskets and the oil filter along with the oil. It may be the original, or it may be an analogue. Putting your hand on your heart, there is no difference. Whatever you find on the counter, take it.

We clean all surfaces that will be connected through sealing washers. We carefully clean the filter seat. We put a new one. 300 grams of oil should be poured into it, that is, about two-thirds of its volume.

We close the cork. If there is a torque wrench, set the torque to 35 Nm. Now we can pour fresh oil. The manual recommends pouring 4.3 liters directly into the neck, remembering that 300 grams have already been poured into the filter. That is, it took a total of 4.6 liters of oil. We remove all smudges, wipe dry with a rag. We start the car and observe all the connections. If in ten to fifteen minutes oil has not appeared anywhere, then the system is tight. We check the level on a hot engine.

When choosing engine oil for a Nissan Tiida car, it is important to know not only the various parameters, standards and tolerances, but also the volume of oil to be filled. It may differ depending on the displacement of the engine. In addition, you should consider the reputation of a particular brand before buying a product you like. We will consider all these points in the article, including the types and viscosity parameters of oil for Nissan Tiida.

Each car has a specific oil change schedule. For example, in the case of Nissan Tiida, the oil change interval is 20 thousand kilometers. This regulation can be adjusted if the machine is regularly operated in difficult climatic zones - for example, in the harsh Russian Siberia. Under such conditions, the oil becomes unusable much faster than, for example, in European countries with a moderately warm climate. So, in our case, the replacement schedule has been reduced to 10 thousand kilometers. This is the optimal indicator at which the oil does not have time to lose all its beneficial properties. The main thing is to change the oil on time so as not to face the premature replacement of internal combustion engine components, which are not cheap.

Signs indicating an urgent oil change

To check the condition of the oil, you must use the dipstick, which is located in the oil filler hole in the engine compartment. We take out the dipstick and look at the oil print - if it is black, then this indicates that the oil has become unusable. In addition, the need to change the oil can be determined by its color, as well as its composition. For example, if the liquid stinks of burning, and if it contains metal shavings. All this indicates the presence of traces of mechanical wear. In such a situation, an oil change can be immediately included in the list of urgent tasks.

What kind of oil to fill

For a Nissan Tiida car, it is recommended to use only original oil from Nissan, with viscosity parameters 5W-40 or 5W-30 SN. Naturally, as an alternative, you can choose an analogue oil, which is not much inferior in quality to the original. In addition, an analogue oil is usually half the price of a Nissan product. However, when choosing such an oil, one should be guided by the parameters 5W-40 or 5W-30 SN, and also choose only among trusted brands with a good reputation. For example, Castrol, Mobil, ZIK, Lukoil and other well-known brands can be distinguished from these.

Here are the full names of some engine oils for Nissan Tiida:

• Lukoil Genesis Glidetech 5W-30
• Idemitsu Zepro Touring 5W-30
• Castrol Edge 5-30LL
• Liqui Moly Leichtauf High Tech 5W-40

Volume

To determine the volume of oil to be filled, you first need to specify the working volume of the power plant. Recall that the Nissan Tiida engine range includes three engines.

• So, for a 1.5 K9K gasoline engine, 4.4 liters of engine oil are required.
• The next motor - 1.6 HR16DE - consumes 4.5 liters of fluid.
• And finally, the most powerful 1.8 MR18DE engine consumes at least 4.6 liters.

Please note that the indicated amount of lubricant can be poured in only with a comprehensive oil change, that is, together with flushing from soot, dust, metal chips and other mud deposits. In other words, the maximum volume can be poured in only when the engine is completely cleaned of old oil. Naturally, with a partial replacement, this will not work, and in this case, you will have to fill in as much oil as it comes in. But there is an alternative, third option, which involves a partial replacement in several stages. This procedure is carried out 3-4 times with a frequency of 400-500 kilometers. For the fourth time, the engine should be completely free of foreign matter, including dirt and metal chips, and then it will be possible to pour in the full volume of fresh oil.

Types of oils

In conclusion, we highlight three types of motor oils that are considered the most popular today.

• Synthetic is the best motor oil, the advantages of which are resistance to low temperatures, a high degree of useful properties, which favorably affects the frequency of replacement. In addition, synthetics resist low temperatures better, are absolutely unprone to freezing in frosty weather, and also effectively cool the internal combustion engine components and prevent them from overheating.
• Mineral is one of the cheapest motor oils. It is better to fill it with high mileage. Highly undesirable for the Nissan Tiida. It has a minimal set of useful properties with a short duration. "Mineral water" due to its excessive density quickly hardens at low temperatures, so it is better to use it at positive temperatures, and in relatively warm weather.
• Semi-synthetic is a worthy alternative to mineral oil. It can be recommended for Nissan Tiida. At the same time, it must be admitted that semi-synthetics are not able to replace pure synthetics - if only because it needs to be filled in more often, and preferably only with high mileage.

So, the most suitable product for Nissan Tiida is synthetic oil.

Not every experienced owner of the popular Nissan Tiida car, due to various life circumstances and human factors, will take into account all the parameters for choosing the right oil for the engine of his car. The same applies to novice motorists who do not pay attention to the established rules and hope for the best outcome of the situation. As a result, after some time, another problem arises, and only then the owner understands what to do next - to sell the car or service it further on his own, since the warranty has already ended. Fortunately, in the case of Nissan Tiida, some procedures can be performed independently - for example, how to choose the right oil for the Nissan Tiida engine. The article will be useful for both beginners and experienced motorists who do not want to repeat their mistakes during the further operation of the Nissan Tiida.

First of all, you need to pay attention to the manufacturer's recommendations, and then be guided by advice and any marketing tricks. This is true, but on the other hand, the established rules may not always be useful, for example, for harsh climatic and road conditions, as in Russia. Nissan advises not to change the oil at all, which is supposedly designed for the entire life of the Nissan Tiida. And there is still a condition here - if you fill in only the original Nissan oil. But in Russian conditions, even the most expensive lubricant often does not help. Based on this, we can conclude, referring to the recommendations of professionals and former owners of Nissan Tiida - the engine oil change schedule, taking into account difficult climatic factors, should be an average of 30 thousand kilometers.

As for other criteria, such as viscosity parameters, only official recommendations should be preferred here. Let's consider them in more detail:
Oil for HR16DE and MR18DE engines must comply with the following parameters:

1. According to API standard - oil type must be SL or SM
2. According to the ILSAC standard - the oil class must be GF-3 or GF-4
3. Oil quality according to ACEA specification - A1 / B1, A3 / B3, A3 / B4, A5 / B5, C2 / C3

How much oil to fill

1.For HR16DE engine:

• with oil filter - 4.3 liters
• excluding oil filter - 4.1 liters

2.For MR18DE engine:

• if you take into account the oil filter - 4.4 liters
• excluding oil filter - 4.2 liters

Viscosity parameters:

• 5W-30; 5W-40 - when the air temperature is within - (minus) 30 +40 degrees
• 10W-30; 10W-40; 10W-50 - when the air temperature exceeds minus 20 degrees
• 15W-40; 15W-50 - if the air temperature is above minus 15 degrees
• 20W-40; 20W-50 - when the temperature is above minus 10 degrees

The user manual for Nissan Tiida indicates that the most optimal viscosity option is 5W-30.

As you know, when choosing an oil, you first need to pay attention to the factory parameters, and then give preference to a specific brand. Let's highlight the best oil companies: Mobil, Castrol, Lukoil, Rosneft and others. The Nissan Tiida is filled with original Nissan grease from the factory.

How to change the oil on a Nissan Tiida

In most cases, motorists, when choosing a lubricant for the summer or for the winter, do not take into account all the parameters of the car oil, use the recommendations of friends or sellers. The wrong choice of lubricant can result in increased fuel consumption, premature engine wear and even engine failure. In our article you will find the parameters of the recommended engine oil for Nissan Tiida.

HR16DE and MR18DE engines

According to the manual of the Nissan Tiida car, for the specified motors, the manufacturer of the car recommended the use of lubricants that meet the requirements:

• genuine NISSAN engine fluids or equivalent lubricants;
• according to API classification - oil type SL or SM;
• in accordance with ILSAC standards - auto oil classes GF-3 or GF-4;
• quality group according to ACEA specification - A1/B1, A3/B3, A3/B4, A5/B5, C2 or C3;
• the viscosity of the lubricant is selected according to scheme 1.

According to the Nissan Tiida instruction manual, the amount of engine oil required for replacement is:

1. Engine HR16DE:

• 4.3 liters including oil filter;
• 4.1 l excluding oil filter.

1. Motor MR18DE:

• 4.4 liters, if we take into account the oil filter;
• 4.2 l excluding filter element.

Scheme 1. The dependence of the viscosity parameters of lubricants on the temperature range of the region in which the car will be operated.

• 5w - 30; 5w - 40 if the air temperature fluctuates from -30°С (or less) to +40°С (and higher);
• 10w - 30; 10w - 40; 10w - 50, at ambient temperature above -20°C;
• 15w - 40; 15w - 50 when the air temperature is more than -15°C;
• 20w - 40; 20w - 50, at temperatures over -10°C.

The manufacturer in the manual indicates that it is preferable to fill in 5w - 30 motor oils.

What are the criteria for choosing lubricants?

The car manufacturer states in the instructions that you need to use the recommended engine oil for Nissan Tiida throughout the entire operational period of the car. In the absence of branded motor oil, it is allowed to pour lubricants equivalent to the original motor fluid.

Concern Nissan is engaged in joint development with manufacturers of many well-known brands of motor oils. At the end of the research work, manufacturers of motor oils that are suitable in terms of the performance characteristics of Nissan Tiida engines receive permission to apply the appropriate tolerances to oil canisters. Focusing on the marking of tolerances, you can purchase lubricants equivalent to the original oil.

Special attention should be paid to the basis from which the lubricant is made, it can be mineral, synthetic and semi-synthetic. The basis of the mixture determines the additives that make up the engine fluid and affects its performance.

Conclusion

Modern motors have different technical characteristics; to ensure their long service life, it is worth using the oils recommended by the manufacturer. Please note: engine fluids with the same viscosity, having different quality classes according to the API and ASEA systems, are completely different oils. The higher the lubricant group according to generally accepted systems, the more complex the composition of additives was used for its manufacture.
