Conclusion

Recommended motor oil for Nissan Almera is able to fill the gaps in the friction pairs of a certain type of engine to protect the engine from abrasion and overheating. Filling in a thicker or liquid car oil will worsen performance characteristics the power unit, will lead to its breakdown.

Lubricant manufacturers use various lubricant bases (synthetics, semi-synthetics, mineral water), mix various chemical additives. The tolerances on the canister may indicate that a certain brand of motor oil is suitable for a particular car model. At the same time, motor oils for the summer are bought more viscous than for the winter.

Model History a number of Almera from Nissan begins in 1995 with the release of the first generation of the car. Almera N15 was produced specifically for European market and quickly occupied a vacant niche among budget cars C-class. The 15th series of the model was designed to replace the obsolete Nissan Sunny and, according to its data, almost exactly repeated Nissan Pulsar. Popularity to the car came for her highest quality assembly and excellent driving performance. All this was complemented by a pleasant price and comfortable interior, thanks to which the novelty fits perfectly into the competitive struggle in the market on a par with the Honda Civic, Skoda Octavia, Mitsubishi Lancer, Toyota Corolla and Opel Astra.

Belonging to the “golf” category was confirmed by the installation of simple in-line fours under the hood until 2000. So, the first Almera was completed petrol units with a working volume of 1.4 and 1.6 liters, as well as one 2-liter diesel engine, which soon acquired a gasoline analogue. The power of the installations ranged from 87 to 143 hp, while they were unpretentious to oil. About what kind of oil was poured into the engines and how much, you can find out further in the article. The N15 generation was produced in 2 stages: from 1995 to 1998 and from 1998 to 2000. Basically, the version differed in appearance changes.

In 2000, the N16 generation took the place of the 15th Almeria. Mass production lasted until 2006 and provided for the release of models in sedan and hatchback bodies with 3 and 5 doors. The first update took place in 2003, after which the car received new bumper, new headlights and replenishment of the engine line with a 1.5-liter diesel engine. Petrol modifications included versions of 1.5, 1.8 liters, as well as a turbodiesel with a volume of 2.2 liters. FROM automatic transmission only the 1.8 engine worked, and all the rest received manual transmissions.

Group cars Renault Nissan good performance and build quality. Truly motorists got acquainted with Nissan cars back in the 90s of the last century, when used equipment was actively imported into Russia automotive technology. Since then, the army of fans of cars from this manufacturer has been growing steadily.

How Nissan Almera Classic appeared in Russia

It is noteworthy that the Nissan Almera N16 was designed by Nissan, although in 1999 Nissan and Renault have already teamed up. The Korean company Samsung Motors, being one of the divisions of Renault, was engaged in the starting launch into production. The industrial production of the first generation Nissan Almera N16 began in 2000 and continued until 2003, when the model was restyled.

These are inexpensive and practical machines were created on the N16 platform, which was used in the design Nissan Primera P12 and Nissan Almera Tino. On the territory of Russia, the Nissan Almera Classic N16 officially began to be imported from 2006 and was sold until 2013.

After some time, the third generation Nissan Almera Classic was assembled in Russia, which had the G15 index. The car is still produced at the plant in Togliatti.

Nissan Almera Classic G15 was created on a symbiosis of two platforms - L90 from Renault Logan and L11K from Nissan. The presented videos show the interior and exterior of the car. Exterior taken from L11K - Japanese Nissan Bluebird Sylphy second generation. The machine has a presentable European look and sells out very quickly. Despite the fact that 20 thousand cars were produced during 2013, and since 2014 about 50 thousand have been produced during the year, the demand for this model is very high and exceeds supply.

Lubricants for Nissan

What engine oil should be used for the Nissan Almera Classic G15 and N16 so that its replacement affects the operation of the engine only in a positive way? The fact is that each of these cars has its own engine. For example, in the Nissan Almera Classic H16 there are QG15DE units (1.5 l, 98 hp) or QG18DE (1.8 l, 116 hp). Nissan Almera G15 is equipped with K4M from Renault, 1.6 liters, 16 valves, 102 hp. With. This is the only engine that comes with the car. Russian assembly. All three engines are 4-cylinder and have 16 valves.

2013 Nissan Almera

What oil is better to pour in Nissan Almera G15? Engine oil should be filled with the following characteristics: according to SAE it should be 5W30, in warm climates it is allowed to replace it with an all-weather 10W30 or 15W30. The first digit means temperature Range use, more precisely - the minimum temperature at which the oil does not thicken. The smaller the number, the more low temperatures lubricant composition remains liquid.

The second digit is an indicator of the viscosity and reliability of the film that engine oil forms on the surface of rubbing parts. The higher the number, the more durable and stable, without tearing, the film is formed. In new motors, a viscosity of 30 is enough. Over time, with high mileage it is desirable to increase the viscosity of the oil to 40-50.

API quality class: SL, SM. This means that an engine oil with these characteristics is designed for multi-valve and turbocharged engines. The SL class is designed for motors manufactured after 2001, and the SM class is for power units after 2004. SM grade lubricants are better quality and wear resistant.

ACEA quality class: AZ/VZ. This means that the lubricant is resistant to mechanical degradation and has high performance. Should be used in high-forced gasoline engines and has extended shift intervals.

2000 Nissan Almera

What engine oil is required for Nissan Almera Classic and N16? The engine should be filled with a lubricant that has the same SAE characteristics - 5W30, in cold winter 0W30 should be used, in warm climates it is allowed to replace it with an all-weather 10W30 or 15W30.

According to API standard- here are more modest characteristics, SG, SH, SJ. These lubricants are designed for older engines - from 1996 and later. Lubricants with these parameters have good stability to the formation of deposits and soot, and are also able to maintain their properties at low temperatures. ACEA quality class: 96-A2. These are standard grade lubricants.

The conclusion is as follows: since the K4M engine is more modern, compared to the QG15DE and QG18DE, the requirements for the lubricant composition for it are much more stringent. That is, lubricants designed for K4M can also be successfully used for older engines, since their characteristics are better. The videos presented on the Internet clearly explain the decoding of the markings of lubricant compositions.

The procedure for replacing the lubricant composition

How much lubricant does a Nissan Almera Classic G15 need to replace? By specifications, a volume of 4.8 liters of oil is required. It is best to use the original Nissan 5W30. The replacement of the lubricant in the Nissan Almera Classic N16 is carried out in the presence of 2.7 liters of lubricant in a 1.5-liter engine. This is according to the passport, but in practice a slightly larger amount of lubricant is needed, up to 3 liters.

After what mileage does the lubricant need to be replaced? For the Nissan Almera G15, the passport mileage is 10,000 km for synthetics. Semi-synthetic oil needs to be changed every 6000 km. In practice, given Russian conditions operation and fuel quality, replacement of synthetic lubricating fluid should be carried out after 7-8 thousand, and semi-synthetics - after 5000 km of run. This will guarantee excellent condition motor.

At Nissan Almera Classic N16 is supposed to change the lubricant composition every 15,000 km. But for this car, it is best to carry out the procedure twice as often as above. The order in which the lubricant is changed is almost the same for both cars.

Before replacing, you need to prepare: a container where the used oil will be drained, a set of wrenches, an oil filter puller or a wrench with a very wide grip, a rag and a brush, lubricating fluid in required quantity, as well as a new original oil filter from Nissan and a new copper gasket for the drain plug.

The car drives into viewing hole or on a flyover, the engine is warm. In some videos, the car is lifted on a lift, but this is - worst case, since in the raised state it is impossible to get close to the hood of the car, and it will have to be lowered, then raised.
The hood lifts and unscrews filler plug, where the lubricant composition will subsequently be poured.
Under the car, in the crankcase, it unscrews for a couple of turns drain plug. Before this, it is necessary to clean the surface of dirt. A container is substituted, the cork is quickly unscrewed, freeing drainer. Be careful not to get hot liquid on your hands.
It takes some time to wait until all the grease has flowed out of the hole. Is there some more good advice- in order to completely remove grease residues from the crankcase, you need to take a large-volume syringe and put a thin hose on it, running its end into the bottom of the crankcase. From there it will be possible to get another 200-300 ml of the dirtiest, used lubricating fluid.
After all the lubricant has drained out, the drain plug with a new copper gasket is screwed into its seat.
Then it is unscrewed with a puller old filter. It is required to substitute the container again, because some amount of lubricant will again flow out of the mounting hole and from the filter.
Pour into the new filter lubricating fluid, a little more than half the volume, and the rubber gasket is lubricated with oil. New filter it is screwed into the mounting hole, while tightening it too much is not worth it.
AT filler neck a new lubricant is poured in the required amount indicated above for each engine. Periodically, the level is checked with a dipstick until it reaches the middle between the minimum and maximum.
The engine starts and runs for several minutes so that the lubricant evenly fills the entire lubrication line. The oil pressure light should go out. After that, the lubrication level is checked again with a dipstick. Top up a little if necessary.

On the videos presented on the Internet, you can see the process of changing the lubricant clearly. The procedure is simple, even a novice driver can handle it. Now the car can be operated until the next replacement.
