Automobile " Nissan Note"is a fairly popular representative Japanese brand, which is in demand among lovers of comfortable family cars. The machine is not replete with a unique design, but it offers everything you need for comfortable, long trips the whole family. Important advantages of the Nissan Note car are also the availability of most spare parts and relatively low cost operation. If you replace consumables yourself, then the car costs even less.
Changing the oil in a Nissan Note engine yourself will reduce maintenance costs.
One of the simplest, but also the most important tasks considered a timely Nissan Note. To do this work yourself you will need minimum set tools, replaceable elements and no more than 2 hours of your time. Try to do everything correctly, without haste, in order to achieve maximum results.
Replacement frequency
Nissan Note is presented with an impressive range of power units. Each of them has its own characteristics, technical nuances and operating requirements. The line includes engines whose official manuals include a figure of 30 thousand kilometers or 24 months of operation. These values apply to 1.6-liter engines. A dubious figure, since most automakers usually call the period between engine oil changes no more than 20 thousand kilometers. It is also recommended to service the remaining Nissan Note engines once a year or every 20 thousand km.
But there is an adjustment for harsh operating conditions. Here everything looks much more plausible and corresponds to reality. Under harsh conditions, it is recommended to do it every 10 thousand kilometers or 2 times a year (every 6 months). Since taking into account Russian roads and climate, the situation is almost always equated to harsh operating conditions, owners of Nissan Note cars should build on this figure and change the lubricant in the engine more often. Some reduce the interval even further by changing the engine oil approximately every 8 thousand kilometers.
- low fuel quality;
- poor condition of roads;
- operating the machine in dusty and sandy areas;
- driving with a trailer;
- long periods of downtime in traffic jams when the engine is forced to idle;
- short short trips;
- aggressive driving style, etc.
These are the most common problems that a Nissan Note driver encounters in everyday life. Even with a strong desire, it is difficult to provide the machine with normal operating conditions. But if you do not change the oil in a timely manner, this will lead to serious consequences, the elimination of which will require you to spend impressive amounts of money.
Level and condition
Not everyone buys a Nissan Note from official dealer from scratch, and often they take used versions. Some already have completed guarantee period, therefore, the car owner carries out maintenance independently, without strict warranty restrictions. Therefore, it is now possible to fill the engine with fresh motor oil and change various consumables yourself. Even if you have not yet decided to take on changing fluids yourself, you must periodically use a dipstick and be able to do this.
To assess the current level and condition motor lubricant, you don’t need to have any special knowledge or skills. Just follow the instructions.
- You can first check the level with a cold engine. Raise the hood, find the dipstick on the engine, and remove it. Wipe with a dry, lint-free cloth and reinstall. Remove the dipstick again and see where the trace of oil remains. The correct level is considered to be a trace of the oil film between the “Min” and “Max” marks.
- Next, check on a hot engine. To do this, pre-warm the engine to operating temperature. You should not take the dipstick right away, since the oil should drain back into the crankcase. A few minutes after stopping the engine, use the dipstick, as in the first case.
- Assessing the condition is a little more difficult, although experienced motorists can easily determine it by appearance, consistency and even smell. To avoid draining all the grease completely, try using a dipstick. Place a few drops on clean paper. You can compare it with drops of fresh lubricant.
- Indicates wear of the engine fluid dark color, cloudy structure, traces of metal shavings, dust and dirt in the composition. An uncharacteristic smell also indicates that the oil has been in use for a long time, and its properties are gradually being lost.
Important so that when checking the level the car is on as level a surface as possible. Otherwise, it will be problematic to objectively assess the degree of crankcase fullness.
If the oil shows signs of wear as the specified change interval approaches, this is not a problem. But when the fluid loses its physical and chemical properties literally 1 to 3 months after the previous replacement, this indicates problems with the engine. It is better to contact a car service and carry out diagnostics.
Oil selection
To change the working coolant in power units yourself, you must first select the appropriate engine oil for the Nissan Note. Officials recommend using only original engine oil. But which oil should be called recommended is actually difficult to say. The thing is that your own lubricant Japanese company No. Yes, for Nissan Note it is indicated in the owner's manual to use a fluid called 5W30 Nissan.
But the nuance is that the company does not produce its own oils, but simply sticks its stickers on the products of a real manufacturer with whom Nissan has an agreement. This is Total Quartz 9000. Therefore, it can hardly be called original. Therefore, for Nissan Note from 2006–2007 to 2017, you can select compositions in accordance with viscosity and API requirements. In the case of API, it is recommended to fill in compositions of at least SL class into Note. It can be higher if you are willing to spend a little more money on maintenance.
By viscosity 5W30 is considered the optimal indicator. This lubricant functions well in summer and winter, without causing problems with starting the engine even in conditions of negative temperatures down to -25 degrees Celsius.
If you live in a region with harsh winters, then focus on a lower viscosity. The following compositions can be identified as suitable for Nissan Note:
- Aral High Tronic G;
- Castrol Edge;
- Liqui Moly Top Tec;
- Motul Expert;
- Shell Helix Ultra;
- ZIC Top;
- Ravenol VM.
These compositions are equally suitable for all types of engines, so you can safely use the presented options, focusing on the viscosity you require. "Nissan Note" is good because it is available for this car wide choose consumables of non-original production, but in good quality and at a reasonable price. This simplifies operation and makes maintenance more affordable.
Oil volume
Buying motor oil is necessarily accompanied by the need to understand exactly how much fluid you will need to service your Nissan Note car. We have already said that a wide selection of engines is available on this car, although in reality they can be divided into several groups:
- 1.4 liters;
- 1.5 liters;
- 1.6 liters.
All 1.5-liter power units run on diesel fuel. They were produced in different periods and have slightly different modifications. But filling volume remained unchanged. Because relatively required quantity motor oils for Nissan Note cars different years The following recommendations can be made:
- 1.4-liter engines are filled with 3.9 liters from the factory. motor oil. At service replacement 3.4 liters will be required. Add 200 ml here. for the filter. 4 liter canisters. It should be enough, but it’s better to take it to 5, so that as the engine fluid is consumed you can top it up.
- Diesel series 1.5-liter power plants also went through various upgrades, increased power and other improvements to meet Euro 4 requirements. However, this did not affect the difference in capacity in any way. From the factory, engines are filled with 4.56 liters of fluid. At after-sales service 4.4 liters required. including 200 ml. for the filter.
- 1.6-liter gasoline engines, which are in demand among Nissan Note owners, are filled with 4.8 liters of engine oil at the factory with a dry sump. For service, you will need 4.6 liters, which includes 200 ml. For oil filter.
Knowing exactly how much oil is in the engine of your Nissan Note, you will not go wrong when purchasing new fluid. Be sure to buy with a reserve of about 1 liter. This will allow you to gradually add the missing amount of lubricant to the crankcase over the course of the mileage or 12 months in order to maintain correct level motor fluid.
Tools and materials
To make your own Nissan Note, you will need to assemble a standard set of materials and tools. You don't need anything special. Everything you need is available in the garage or sold at auto parts stores. Collect the following:
- fresh motor oil;
- oil filter;
- filter puller;
- new sealing ring traffic jams drain hole;
- empty container for collecting oil;
- spanners;
- screwdrivers;
- gloves made of thick rubber;
- funnel.
Then proceed at your own discretion. If your Laptop has any additional elements, or you are going to carry out other work along with an oil change, the set may expand somewhat. We are talking specifically about changing engine oil.
Step-by-step instruction
Even without much experience in self-service cars you should easily cope with this task. There is nothing complicated here. But try to follow the recommendations, act carefully and do not forget about safety rules. If you are ready, then we can begin.
- To change old motor lubricant, first get rid of the waste. Place the car on a level surface over a hole in your garage. Place chocks under the wheels and turn on hand brake. Warm up the Nissan Note car engine to operating temperature. Changing the oil will be much easier and faster if the lubricant is sufficiently liquid. The viscous mixture takes a very long time to come out and not in full volume.
- Stop the engine and wait a few minutes. The negative terminal from the battery can be removed to more security. Open the hood and unscrew the filler cap for fresh engine oil. This will remove the vacuum inside the system, due to which the old waste will come out faster when drained.
- Let's go under the car. If your Laptop has crankcase protection, remove it using keys or screwdrivers. This will free up access and allow you to find the drain hole in the pan.
- Prepare a previously empty container into which the waste will be drained. Now unscrew the plug by turning it with a tool. Wear thick gloves to avoid getting burned by hot engine oil.
- When the plug is unscrewed, the liquid will begin to flow into the container. It will take about 10 - 15 minutes to completely drain the old oil. It is better to wait longer and let the lubricant come out in maximum volume than to mix its remains with fresh engine oil.
- While the fluid is draining, you can work on the oil filter. In general, to dismantle it, it is better to have a special puller at your disposal. But sometimes you manage to remove the element yourself. If it cannot be removed by hand and there is no puller, take a piece of sandpaper, wrap it around the filter housing and grab it tightly. When this method does not help, follow the most barbaric path. To do this, pierce the body with a screwdriver on a long handle and use it as a lever.
- Install new filter. First remove dirt from around seat for the filter using a rag. Lubricate fresh oil sealing gasket and pour approximately 150 - 200 ml into the new filter housing. engine fluids.
- Screw it into place. There is no need to use tools here. Install the filter manually only. Due to the lubrication of the seal, it should fit tightly into the socket without excessive physical effort.
- If the oil stops dripping from the pan, it is drained. You shouldn’t count on the engine being completely empty, since some of the liquid will still remain inside. Replace the drain plug. It has an O-ring that must be replaced every time it is unscrewed. That is, this element is disposable. Don't forget to change it, otherwise oil will leak out through the plug. Tighten the plug with the same tool you used to remove it. Just be careful not to over-tighten as you may strip the threads.
- Return to engine compartment. Insert a funnel into the filler hole suitable size so as not to flood the surrounding elements with oil. power unit. Fill in the required volume, simultaneously monitoring the lubricant level using the dipstick.
- There is no need to fill in the entire volume of engine fluid specified in the instructions at once. You remember that the engine holds a different amount depending on whether the engine is dry or not.
- If the dipstick shows the correct level, close the cap. filler neck, return the negative terminal to the battery and start the engine. On dashboard should go out warning light. When the engine turns over idle speed 3 – 5 minutes, turn it off. After another 5 minutes, check the oil level. If it is not enough, add the missing amount.
After filling the lubricant to the required level, do not forget to look under the bottom of the car and make sure there are no signs of leakage of fresh motor fluid. If there are any, tighten the connections, after which you can return the crankcase protection to its place. Be sure to check the oil using a dipstick and re-check for leaks after a few days or after 50 - 100 kilometers.
You clearly see that there is nothing complicated in self-replacement There is no oil on the Nissan Note. This is a fairly easy-to-maintain machine on which you can change almost all consumables yourself.
Nissan Note is a compact Japanese minivan, one of the most popular in Russia. The car is still in demand. Owners of used Laptops speak positively about Japanese technology, which, as you know, is best not to skimp on when servicing. For example, it is recommended to fill only original engine oil.
