Conclusion

The recommended engine oil for Nissan Note must be of a certain thickness to ensure optimal performance of the power unit. The manufacturer of the machine recommends selecting a lubricant depending on the season overboard the car:

for the winter, motorists buy fluid oils;
for the summer, it is preferable to purchase a very thick oil;
All-weather lubricants are used all year round in the temperature range corresponding to the operating temperature of the motor lubricant.

After reviewing the requirements of the manufacturer regarding the recommended car oil for Nissan Note, you can easily select a lubricant that matches the characteristics of the motor. Please note: high-quality synthetic and semi-synthetic lubricants do not lose their original characteristics throughout the entire operating period. Mineral motor fluids change their parameters during operation. Also, do not ignore the tolerances printed on the canister with car oil, these designations indicate the suitability of the lubricant for a particular car model.

The Nissan Note car is a fairly popular representative of the Japanese brand, which is in demand among lovers of comfortable family cars. The car is not full of unique design, but offers everything you need for comfortable, long trips with the whole family. Important advantages of the Nissan Note car are also the availability of most spare parts and the relatively low cost of operation. If you yourself are engaged in the replacement of consumables, then the car is even cheaper.

Self-changing the oil in the Nissan Note engine will reduce maintenance costs.

One of the simplest, but also the most important tasks is the timely Nissan Note. To do this work with your own hands, you will need a minimum set of tools, interchangeable elements and no more than 2 hours of your time. Try to do everything right, without haste, in order to achieve maximum results.

Replacement frequency

Nissan Note is presented with an impressive range of powertrains. Each of them has its own characteristics, technical nuances and operating requirements. There are motors in the line, in the official manuals for which there is a figure of 30 thousand kilometers or 24 months of operation. These values apply to engines with a volume of 1.6 liters. A dubious figure, since most automakers usually call the period between engine oil changes no more than 20 thousand kilometers. The rest of the Nissan Note engines are also recommended to be serviced once a year or every 20 thousand km.

But there is an amendment for harsh operating conditions. Here everything looks much more plausible and corresponds to reality. Under severe conditions, it is recommended to produce every 10 thousand kilometers or 2 times a year (every 6 months). Since, taking into account Russian roads and climate, the situation almost always equates to harsh operating conditions, Nissan Note car owners should build on this figure and change the engine lubricant more often. Some reduce the interval even more, changing the engine oil approximately every 8 thousand kilometers.

low quality fuel;
poor road conditions;
operation of the machine in dusty and sandy areas;
driving with a trailer;
long downtime in traffic jams, when the engine is forced to spin at idle;
short trips;
aggressive driving style, etc.

These are the most common problems that a Nissan Note driver faces in everyday life. Even with a strong desire to provide the machine with normal operating conditions, it is difficult. But if you do not change the oil in a timely manner, this will lead to serious consequences, the elimination of which will require an impressive amount of money to be spent.

Level and condition

Not everyone buys a Nissan Note from an authorized dealer from scratch, but often they take used versions. Some already have an expired warranty period, so the car owner is engaged in maintenance independently, without strict limitations under the warranty. Therefore, pouring fresh engine oil into the engine, changing various consumables is now allowed with your own hands. Even if you have not yet decided to take up the change of fluids on your own, you must periodically use a dipstick and be able to do this.

To assess the current level and condition of motor lubrication, you do not need to have special knowledge and skills. Just follow the instructions.

First you can check the level with a cold engine. Raise the hood, find the dipstick on the motor, remove it. Wipe with a dry, lint-free cloth and reinsert. Pull the dipstick again and see where the oil mark remains. The correct level is considered to be a trace of an oil film between the "Min" and "Max" marks.
Next, check on a hot engine. To do this, preheat the engine to operating temperature. You should not immediately take the dipstick, because the oil must 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. In order not to drain all the grease completely, try using a dipstick. Put a few drops on clean paper. You can compare with drops of fresh grease.
The wear of the motor fluid is indicated by a dark color, a cloudy structure, traces of metal chips, 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 the vehicle is on as level a surface as possible when checking the level. 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 big deal. But when the liquid 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

In order to independently change the working coolant in power units, first you need to select the appropriate engine oil for Nissan Note. Officials recommend pouring only original engine oil. But what oil should be called recommended is really difficult to say. The thing is that the Japanese company does not have its own lubricant. 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 which Nissan has an agreement. This is Total Quartz 9000. Therefore, it can hardly be called original. Therefore, for the Nissan Note of the period 2006 - 2007 and 2017, you can choose compositions in accordance with the requirements for viscosity and API. In the case of the API, it is recommended to fill in the compositions of the minimum SL class in the Note. It can be higher if you are willing to spend a little more money on maintenance.

Viscosity 5W30 is considered the best indicator. Such a 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 a harsh winter, then focus on a lower viscosity. The following compositions can be distinguished 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 compounds are suitable for all types of engines, so you can safely use the options presented, focusing on the viscosity you need. Nissan Note is good because a wide selection of non-original consumables is available for this car, but in good quality and at an adequate price. This simplifies operation and makes maintenance more accessible.

Oil volume

Buying engine oil is necessarily accompanied by the need to understand exactly how much fluid you need to service your Nissan Note car. We have already said that a wide selection of motors 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, have slightly different modifications among themselves. But the filling volume remained unchanged. Therefore, regarding the required amount of engine oils for Nissan Note cars of different years of manufacture, the following recommendations can be made:

1.4-liter engines are filled with 3.9 liters from the factory. engine oil. A service replacement will require 3.4 liters. Add 200 ml here. for the filter. Canisters for 4 l. should be enough, but it’s better to take 5 so that you can add it as the engine fluid is consumed.
The diesel series of 1.5-liter power plants has also experienced various upgrades, power increases and other improvements to meet Euro 4 requirements. At the same time, this did not affect the difference in capacity. From the factory, the motors fill 4.56 liters of liquid. When servicing, 4.4 liters are required. including 200 ml. for the filter.
Gasoline 1.6-liter engines, which are in demand among Nissan Note owners, are filled with 4.8 liters of engine oil at the factory with a dry crankcase. When servicing, you will need 4.6 liters, which includes 200 ml. for the oil filter.

Knowing exactly how much oil is in the engine of your Nissan Note, you can't go wrong when buying new fluid. Be sure to buy with a margin of about 1 liter. This will allow, as the mileage or 12 months pass, gradually add the missing amount of lubricant to the crankcase in order to maintain the correct level of engine 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 in auto parts stores. Gather the following:

fresh motor oil;
oil filter;
filter puller;
new sealing ring for the drain plug;
empty container for collecting oil;
spanners;
screwdrivers;
thick rubber gloves;
funnel.

Then proceed at your own discretion. If your laptop has some additional elements, or you are going to carry out other work along with the oil change, the set may expand somewhat. We are talking specifically about changing engine oil.

Step-by-step instruction

Even if you don't have a lot of experience with car maintenance yourself, you should be able to handle this task with ease. There is nothing complicated here. But try to follow the recommendations, act carefully and do not forget about safety rules. If you're ready, then we can start.

To change the old motor lubricant, first get rid of the waste. Park the car on a level surface above the pit in your garage. Chock the wheels and apply the handbrake. Warm up the Nissan Note car engine to operating temperature. Changing the oil will be much easier and faster if the lubricant is thin enough. The viscous mixture comes out for a very long time and not in full.
Stop the engine and wait a few minutes. The negative terminal from the battery can be removed for greater safety. 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 mining will come out faster when drained.
We pass under the car. If your laptop has crankcase protection, use keys or screwdrivers to dismantle it. So you free access and you can find the drain hole in the pan.
Prepare a pre-empty container into which mining will merge. Now unscrew the cork by turning it with a tool. Wear heavy gloves to avoid getting burned by hot engine oil.
When the cork is unscrewed, the liquid will begin to drain into the container. It will take about 10 to 15 minutes to completely drain the old oil. It is better to wait longer and let the grease come out to the maximum volume than to mix its remains with fresh engine oil.
While the liquid is draining, you can do the oil filter. In general, for its dismantling, it is better to have a special puller at your disposal. But sometimes it is possible to remove the element with your own hands. If it does not give in manually, 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, the body is pierced with a long-handled screwdriver and used as a lever.
Install a new filter. First remove dirt around the filter seat with a rag. Lubricate the gasket with fresh oil and pour about 150 - 200 ml into the housing of the newest filter. engine fluids.
Screw it into place. There is no need to use tools here. Install the filter only manually. Due to the lubrication of the seal, it should fit snugly into the socket without excessive physical effort.
If the oil stops dripping from the sump, it is drained. You should not count on the complete emptying of the motor, since part of the liquid will still remain inside. Replace the drain plug. It has a sealing ring, which must be replaced with each unscrewing. That is, this element is disposable. Do not forget to change it, otherwise oil will flow through the plug. Tighten the cork with the same tool that was used to remove it. Just don't overtighten as you won't strip the threads.
Return to the engine compartment. Insert a funnel of a suitable size into the filler hole so as not to flood the surrounding elements of the power unit with oil. Fill in the required volume, simultaneously monitoring the level of lubricant with a dipstick.
It is not necessary to fill in the entire volume of motor fluid indicated 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 filler cap, return the negative terminal to the battery and start the engine. The warning light on the instrument panel should go out. When the engine runs at idle for 3-5 minutes, turn it off. After another 5 minutes, check the oil level. If it is low, add the missing amount.

Having filled the lubricant to the required level, do not forget to look under the bottom of the car and make sure that 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 with a dipstick and recheck for leaks after a few days or after 50 - 100 kilometers.

You can clearly see that there is nothing difficult in self-changing oil for a Nissan Note. This is a fairly simple machine to maintain, on which you can change almost all consumables with your own hands.

Nissan Note is a compact Japanese minivan, one of the most popular in Russia. The car is still in demand. Owners of supported Notes speak positively about Japanese technology, which, as you know, is better not to save money when servicing. For example, it is recommended to fill in only original engine oil. This is extremely important, since the engine is the most important part of the car, without which it may not work. In this article, we will consider the basic rules that should be paid attention to in the process of choosing high-quality engine oil.

Conclusion

Oil for Nissan Note must be selected based on the factory parameters of viscosity and ash content. It is important to pay attention to the type of oil - synthetic, semi-synthetic or mineral. In this case, the best option would be synthetics. It has noticeably better lubricating properties, as well as resistance to low temperatures. Viscosity, in addition to various numbers and markings, also has its own types: winter, summer and all-weather. For example, a rarer oil is suitable for winter operation, and a relatively thick liquid will be enough in summer. All factory parameters are indicated in the instructions. After reviewing them, the owner will select the best lubricant option for the Nissan Note engine.
