Motor oil nissan motor oil 5w 40. Scope and compatibility

Meet Nissan. He is Total and Elf

Nissan recommends that only original parts be used in its vehicles. engine oils. Among them is NISSAN MOTOR OIL 5W40, a synthetic lubricant that provides the engine with better protection under any operating conditions.

Product description

This is produced lubricant French company TOTAL-ELF. The same oil is also sold under the names and. Therefore, they are perfectly interchangeable and complementary. By the way, it is under the Nissan brand that it costs a little less than Total and Elf. This is explained pricing policy automaker.

This product has excellent specifications. Like any other synthetic, it has good low and high temperature properties and cleansing abilities, and also creates an especially strong oil film. Oil is little spent on soot, prevents the formation harmful deposits helps to clean the engine.

The oil is especially effective in reducing friction, providing uniform and stable lubrication. Due to this, wear of parts is reduced, and the life of the motor is extended. The engine is permanently protected from breakdowns and repairs.

It is also worth noting that this oil has increased resistance to oxidation, aging and degradation. It has a stable viscosity at any temperature, even the lowest. Its fluidity in cold weather is also excellent. This property, together with a strong oil film, provides easy start-up in cold weather, quick pumping, and protection from the first moments of engine operation.

Application area

Nissan 5W40 engine oil is synthetic for all occasions. It is perfect for absolutely different conditions operation and driving styles, as well as for different climatic and traffic situations. So, you can drive on this oil like in a city with frequent stops with the subsequent start-up, and outside the city, on the highway and off-road, in frost and in heat.

Suitable for use in diesel engines with direct injection fuel, as well as for highly accelerated engines running on gasoline; for gasoline engines younger than 2004 release; for diesel engines off-road industrial machinery, power units with split injection, as well as those engines that run on fuel with a high sulfur content.

Of course, it was primarily developed for Nissan cars, but it can also be used in other European and American vehicles with the appropriate specifications.

Graph of oil viscosity depending on ambient temperature

How 5W40 stands for

This oil is multigrade. Here is how its 5W40 viscosity marking is deciphered. The letter W stands for the word winter, winter. This is how lubricants are marked, suitable not only for summer, but also for winter use.

The numbers in front of the W are the viscosity index for the maximum sub-zero temperatures up to which the product remains stable. To calculate this temperature, you need to subtract this number from 40. In our case, you get 35, that is, minus 35 degrees Celsius. Well, the number after the letter indicates the upper limit of oil stability. That is, up to what positive temperature it will be stable. It turns out that our oil will be suitable in the range from minus 35 to plus 40 degrees Celsius.

This is an excellent indicator that allows you to easily use this lubricant all year round in most climatic regions of the country and the world.

New packaging

For NISSAN 5W40 oil - new design packaging. The change is being implemented gradually, at first both new canisters and old ones will be distributed. The new canister is light gray (a shade lighter than the old one), with a red cap and clearer lines. So, the five-liter canister had a round handle, the new one has it at an angle.

The label in the new design is not rectangular, but in the form of an irregular trapezoid with rounded corners. To the right of the handle, on the side, there is a relief in the form of wide stripes.

The scale is also different. Now it is located on the side where the cover is located, and not on the side of the handle. It has become a little narrower and stands out more clearly against the background of the light plastic of the canister.

Articles remain the same.

How to distinguish a fake

Unfortunately, popular motor oils are often counterfeited. To know how to distinguish Nissan oil from a fake, you need to pay attention to the following points:

At original oil canisters with a volume of 1 and 5 liters are solid, for a fake they are soldered from two halves.
The cork is pressed into the shape, while the fake is even.
The plastic of the canister near the handle is smooth and smooth, the fake has rough areas.
The company logo has a 3D effect, and the fake does not have such graphic features.
The text is small but clear. On a fake, this can be a problem.
The original back label consists of two layers, on each of which information is applied, and the top one is easily folded and falls into place without smearing the text.
The bottom of the canister is engraved with a code and an hourglass icon. A fake has only a code.

Buy only from an authorized distributor. In addition, some dishonest sellers showcase the original and sell a fake. Therefore, you need to inspect exactly the canister that you have in your hands.

synthetic oil Nissan 5W40 is ideal for cars of the corresponding brand. It has ACEA specifications and API, therefore applicable to machines of other concerns. The manufacturer is the French company Total-Elf. Similar compounds are also sold under the brands TOTAL Quartz 9000 5w-40 and ELF Evolution 900NF 5w40. But a product in a Nissan package is cheaper (10-20%). This is due to the existence of certain agreements between companies.

Features and Benefits

Genuine Nissan oil will create the following benefits for the engine:

Motor oil from Nissan has antioxidant properties, so it does not age for a long time, while maintaining its performance.

What cars will fit?

To understand if Nissan 5W40 oil is suitable for specific car, you need to familiarize yourself with its specifications:

ACEA A3/B The oil is resistant to mechanical breakdown. Suitable for use in diesel engines with direct fuel injection and highly accelerated gasoline engines. ACEA classification- the basis of the approvals of all European cars.
API SM/CF. On the API specifications American automakers base their tolerances. Oil will do for gasoline engines from 2004 release. It also applies to diesels. off-road equipment, power units with split injection, engines running on fuels with a high sulfur content (from 0.5%).

Don't buy fakes

At a glance, canisters with counterfeit and original products are identical. But there are several signs by which you can distinguish real oil from fake. Do not trust the high price or reputation of the store - always check the container yourself.

Signs that distinguish genuine Nissan engine oil from a fake:

No seams on 5 and 1 liter bottles. The canisters of the original are solid, and not made from two halves soldered together. If the packaging has a tactilely perceptible line, you can refuse to buy - the oil is fake.
Cork of a special form, pressed inward. This is for ease of use. For fake products, the lid is even, has imitation notches.
Near the handle, the surface is flat. Triangles are often found on fakes, inside of which the plastic is rough.
The brand name on the label is clearly printed with a three-dimensional effect. On fakes, the image has fewer shades and halftones, and is larger in size.
Clear fine print and a bright thin red stripe. On a fake, the font is larger, the text is not clearly printed, it seems blurry when moving away from the eyes.
On the front side tolerances and specifications (other than SAE) not printed.
On the reverse side The name of the company is printed in small bright red font, it looks voluminous. On fakes, the letters are larger, and the colors are duller, monotonous.
The line of the canister under the label is even. On fakes - rounded.
At the bottom of the canister there is a sign - a code and an hourglass. On a fake, you will only find a code (the inscription PLYSU).

Often in stores, sellers use a simple trick: they put the original on the window, and give the buyers a fake. Therefore, you need to check exactly the oil that you buy.

Today there is a fairly wide list of types of motor oils, each of them has its pros and cons, features that should be considered when buying. A significant role is played by exactly which company was engaged in the manufacture of oil. What is Nissan 5w40 oil, what are its advantages and disadvantages, for which cars is it more suitable? What is the difference between original oil and non-original oil and which one is better?

We will analyze the quality of Nissan 5w40 through the prism of comparison with similar oils from other manufacturers. Nissan occupies an increasingly leading position in the global car market, and not only as a manufacturer of high-quality, aesthetic, powerful cars, but also as a manufacturer of components for them, including oils.

Oil is an integral part of the vehicle, a lot depends on its quality: whether the engine will work for a long time and efficiently, how it will cope with the tasks assigned to it, and especially whether the engine can withstand such endurance tests as extreme cold or extreme heat. Recently, Nissan engine oil has become increasingly popular in the auto world. What is its purpose?

A brief overview of 5w40 oil

The main function of 5w40 oil is to protect engine parts from rapid wear resulting from constant friction. Oil creates a special thin protective shell around each part, which, of course, does not interfere with normal operation, but protects against mechanical defects. The thickness of this film is one thousandth of a millimeter, but in terms of strength it is able to withstand a load of a ton or even more.

In addition to protecting against friction, the oil film prevents the engine from overheating, and it is precisely this reason that affects the rapid wear of the power unit. On the this moment There are two types of 5w40 oil:

made from oil, without the addition of additional additives;
made on a synthetic basis, it assumes the presence of additional additives that increase the efficiency of the oil and expand its functionality.

Nissan engine oil has gained immense popularity due to its viscosity and technical characteristics. So, according to the marking, the first digit indicates that Nissan engine oil is effective in frost at -20 and heat at 100 ° C. In 1935, engineers created a device that made it possible to study all the structural properties of a particular type of oil in a short period of time, to trace the forecast of its action in the future.

Whether it will leave a damaging deposit or not, whether it will remain effective after a certain time has passed or after a car has traveled a certain distance. The device was named TimkenOKLoad. This mechanism is a small container filled with oil. A metal disk is immersed in the container, which is set in motion with the help of an engine.

A special beam with a ball is superimposed on the disk, through which the load force is applied to the disk. Depending on the level of tasks assigned to the oil, the load force is adjusted by installing weights that are attached to the beam. The main task of this whole mechanism is to simulate the long-term operation of the engine with one or another type of oil in a short time.

Motor oil test 5w-40

The most popular type of Shell Helix oil, promising, according to advertising, perfect protection engine, reducing wear and noise, cleaning from carbon deposits and other debris. The oil is suitable for both gasoline and diesel power units. The experiment was carried out using two weights with a total weight of 2,000 g. Shortly after the start of the experiment, an unpleasant rattle is heard, indicating that the protective oil film has been destroyed, and the motor is left alone with all the dangers surrounding it.

According to drivers, the oil has a quick darkening, especially if it was used during extreme driving. But this is not a minus, but a plus, as it means that the oil has cleansing properties. The consumption of the product is small - this is also positive quality. In cold weather it is effective. Elf Excelium oil on a synthetic basis, made according to existing standards, and the toughest.

The composition represents an achievement in the chemical industry. Oil guarantees the efficiency of the power unit, environmental friendliness, protects the motor from overheating and rapid wear. Studies show that the thickness protective film here is much less than in the previous sample. Already at a load of 900 g, its destruction began. This explains to us that advertisers have greatly exaggerated the real capabilities of the product.

But the feedback from the drivers is not bad. Most drivers claim that the engine runs very well with this oil, even in severe frosts, and the expense is negligible. As conceived by manufacturers, Penrite oil should provide protection not only against wear, but also against corrosion. In addition, this semi-synthetic oil equally suitable for both standard types of motors and the latest options with turbo function.

The additives included in the composition clean the engine, make a sharp start safer and easier. Oddly enough, but neither a load of 900 grams, nor even 2,000 grams, destroyed the protective film. To do this, it was necessary to hang six weights weighing almost 5,500 grams. Feedback from drivers is also overwhelmingly positive.

Nissan engine oil

The Chinese promise that Nissan engine oil will protect the engine for highest level, will significantly reduce the noise level, create unsurpassed protection in cold weather and protect against soot, corrosion and other troubles. Nissan engine oil turned out to be downright hard nut. A load of 3,000 grams withstands completely, and only after that the destruction of the protective film begins. Driver reviews also confirm the effectiveness of this instance. But that's just about any economy here can not be discussed.

About Nissan engine oil, I would like to tell you one trick that is most often used by this concern to sell cars. Recently launched for sale good model Nissan Qashqai. Bright, stylish, powerful - this SUV also promises economical fuel consumption. For most drivers, this indicator is decisive.

But it was precisely with this question that a discrepancy was discovered. Manufacturers advise filling in Nissan 5w30 engine oil, which is neither reliable, nor durable, nor viscosity, nor efficient. Already at the fifth thousand kilometers, the oil ceases to be effective, and at the tenth thousand, the engine literally begins to burn itself.

But Nissan engine oil, due to its liquid structure, contributes to efficiency. However, efficiency alone is not enough; effective protection is also needed. Knowing this, already in the salons another type of lubricant is poured into the engine - Nissan engine oil, which has much more high performance efficiency and does not fail in the winter.

But in this case, the engine clearances become larger, which, on the one hand, allows the oil with a viscous structure to protect it from defects and overheating, and on the other hand, after filling in a more viscous oil, the engine will never be economical, energy-saving and will burn even more fuel , how standard SUV. Manufacturers are modestly silent about this, and car owners are surprised to note that an “economical” car is very voracious.

Consequently, Nissan engine oil meets all requirements in terms of its technical characteristics, except for efficiency.

We examined the most popular types of 5w40 oils that can be seen on the shelves of car dealerships in any city, and their features. Now you can make an informed choice, knowing the basic information and technical characteristics of oils, their features, pros and cons. It is important to be guided by your own considerations, specific road conditions and the question of price. We wish you good luck and fair wind!

Nissan Corporation also produces engine oils for its cars. One of these is becoming - NISSAN MOTOR OIL 5W40. Synthetic oil is ideal for use not only in Ford cars, but also in power units from other manufacturers.
