Oil

[carlova78]

What type of oil do you use for your 240? About to do a 1st time oil change and need to get some oil.

[v-empire]

gear oil works great for hot summers....lol

mazola corn oil
10-40 for now is fine.

[carlova78]

brand?

[carlova78]

oh gosh i need to know codes. how many quarts do i need

[v-empire]

you need 7 but pour 3 and check on the 4th.

doesnt matter for your case. get the cheapest oil . buy the most expensive filter you can find. best to use oem nissan.

[hellfire]

Its a KA. SOHC at that. Use supertech or whatever is on sale.

And dave, your confusing the man..

You use about 4. Pour 3 and check the 4th like dave said. Don't buy 7 quarts though..

Tyler

[carlova78]

i have to go to nissan to get a filter.

[hellfire]

.... It doesn't really matter. Not for your application.

Tyler

[v-empire]

[hellfire]

:lmfao:

[carlova78]

aight does it take power to take the drain plug? counter clockwise right? wheres the oil filter too

[Andy C]

Righty tighty lefty loosey.
There is a place across the street from me that does it for 20$. I think its a grand opening deal though.
How much is this costing you.

[carlova78]

im doing it myself. u dont? u know ur not helping

[Andy C]

I know your doin it yourself. I was just wondering how much cheaper it is to do it yourself. It is worth my 20$ not to have to deal with it.

[carlova78]

wow the oil cap is tight mofo.

[carlova78]

is that including oil

[Andy C]

Yeah. It was 25 for me cause i wanted castrol, not texico whatever. But its a brand new place, so I am pretty sure its a limited time offer. Are you going to tell me how much it is costing you?

[~The_Duke~]

I use royal purple in my car. I think I am going to switch back 5w30 instead of the 10w30 though. Better gas milage...

[carlova78]

i got the shittiest oil it was 2.88 a qt. but goofd oils like 5-7/qt. have u changed oil b4?

[carlova78]

wats up w/ the -w-

[carlova78]

no one? heeeelllooo

[Andy C]

W means winter. I learned that in auto tech.
I guess you avoiding my question about how much you are spending total.

[~The_Duke~]

I spend about 35 on oil and filter.

5w30 and 10w30 is a a measure of the thickness of the oil. 5 is thiner and 10 is thicker. 5 is better for proformance 10 is better for protection...

[carlova78]

for my stuff? i never took the car to a shop yet except once andy

[~The_Duke~]

for my stuff? i never took the car to a shop yet except once andy

I was talking about my stuff. At the place I used to take my POS focus to it was 25 for cheap ass stuff, 30 for middle grade, and 50 for castrol.

[carlova78]

lol i was asking andy. i dont think i was answering his ?. thanks for the info btw i need to find an fsm. wat type of cell network do u use?

[Andy C]

I use metro pcs!.

[Wes]

How in the hell is there a 2 pages thread about changing your fucking oil?

[Andy C]

lol. How do you pump gas?

[Wes]

Ha, I pop the cover, unscrew the cap (turning it counterclockwise), insert my credit card into the pump, select no receipt, and grade 93, insert the nozzle into the filler hole, pump about $10-full (depending on how much money I have), hang the nozzle back up, and then screw in my gas cap(turning it clockwise), close the cover, open my drivers door, get in, press the clutch, turn the key (towards the front of the car) crank the car, then I buckle up, put the car in 1st gear (with the clutch still pressed in), slowly release the clutch while slowly easing on the accelerator, and then I drive the fuck off.

Thats how I pump fucking gas. Just like when I change oil. I raise the car, get under it, loosen the drain plug and the filter, let the fucking oil drain, put a new filter back on after checking to make sure Im not double gasketing and after rubbing oil on the rubber seal part, screw the filter back in handtight, fill the car, start the car, and then check the oil after I cut it back off, and if its good, I close the fucking hood and go about my business.

And I use whatever fucking oil is under $2.50 a quart, or is on sale, as long as its not Quaker State. And I use a fram or STP filter, just because A. I just dont give a fuck, and B. I dont want to drive all the way to fucking Gainesville or Buford to get a fucking genuine Nissan filter, when I can buy one for half price at the fucking parts store.

Now on my RSX-S, I use Mobil Oil, and a Honda filter. Just because its new.


Sorry for ranting, but 2 fucking pages about an oil change, and mentioning that you need a fucking FSM to change oil is retarted. If you have to look at an FSM to change your oil, you shouldn't even pop the fucking hood. Sure, look at the owners manual to show how much oil to add, just to save time, but having to use the goddamned FSM is rediculous.

Fuck.

Sorry, its been a long day.

[carlova78]

i neverchanged oil b4. andy do u do it urself?

[carlova78]

wow u use fuck alot. lol. i cant find the dam oil filter though. i know its easy and know what to do. the drain plgu and oil caps so dam tight on too

[Wes]

Are you even old enough to drive?

[Andy C]

No I dont do it myself. But I have before. Its just not worth the time and mess to me.

[juanito]

i used mobil 1, 10-30 full syn... is pretty good! also, for te guy that used royal purple on here, what did u use? ive been thinking about gettig some for next oil change... i think it was "the duke"???

Ya royal purple is the shit... It might just be in my head, but it seems like the car runs better and performs better with that stuff. It really is purple to.

[~The_Duke~]

15w40 castrol diesel oil.



http://www.supersonicscooters.com/images/products/185.jpg


it holds up to the heat and trashing of drifting and is cheap.

[carlova78]

tyler how did u get the oil cap on so tight. u on staroids boy?

[hellfire]

Haha..

Tyler

[babowc]

lolol @ this thread!

[carlova78]

tyler u need to come get this off!! its tight my fat asian a friend was here to help and he couldnt even get it off

[hellfire]

Use needle nose pliers. Leverage is your friend.

Tyler

[babowc]

screwdriver thru the filter.
works like a charm.

[hellfire]

He's talking about the oil cap.

If he stuck a screwdriver in there.. He would need a new one, and it would still be stuck. ;)

Tyler

[Casey]

yes zeh plyerz ftw

and i used 10w40 this time around regular oil not synthetic and i appear to have gotten an oil leak right after...
should i switch to 10w30?

edit... it got worse than after runnnin synthetic

[hellfire]

I didn't really understand your post. But.. Synthetic will bring out all your leaks.

Tyler

[~The_Duke~]

Me and my manlyness got the oil cap off. lol

I also showed him the trick with the jack handle on the racket for more leverage so that he could get his drain plug out.

I showed him where the oil filter was once I found it. That motor is more of a cluster fuck than the QR is... lol

[Casey]

mk basically i swapped synthetic in my motor when i bought it... drove it for a while then needed an oil change...
ended up draining about one freaking quart out cuz it was leaking oil...
idk why but it still sohwed up on the damn dip stick... anyways
i threw some 10w40 regular in there with a new filter ect ect... day after... started leaking from like 8 different spots on what appears to be my oil pan...

next day i sprayed everything out with a high pressure water hose nossle thing... so all the gunk is gone just black now... and im gonna look for where the leaks are comming from
my guess is that they are seeping out of the oil pan because i might have overfilled it a little.
is the level of the oil below the oil pan gasket? if so this would make sense cuz my motor is like 180k miles ... bad oil pan gasket... idk
i might have hit the oil pan on a rock in my parents driveway cuz its low and... they ahve a hilly gravel driveway.

but i think it was the oil change...
im gonna check the level and make it perfect... by draining a tad out... idk i dont really care about this motor it sucks i just need it to run for another 2 months... cuz im saving every freaking penny up from when i get a job for an sr swap... ><
and my student loan is going to pitch in.

[babowc]

lol.
just deal with the leaks,
unless you re-gasket your pan, it'll keep leaking.
and dont add no additives to make it "better" b/c it wont, lol.

just tough it out! :D
whenever i cant get my oil cap loose, i use a mallet and tap it on the direction where it needs to spin..
it wooorkkkssss.

[carlova78]

yeah i got all that off. but i got the wrong size tool for the filter

[carlova78]

ill skip the filter and just put new oil in

[Casey]

no
><
just take a screw driver
and jam it through the filter to take it off
then hand tighten the other one on
i cant remember if its a size 14 or size 17 socket
but thats the ONLY tool required to frekin change ure oil lol

and babowc
i think the oil leak is fixed
i overfilled al ittle
and the level was at the gasket so it was leaking more
now its a lot less bad

[shawn shawn]

is this really an 8 page thread about oil? haha

[hellfire]

Its a 14mm.

Tyler

[v-empire]

next time,

jiffy lube. $19.95 done.

or you can take it to me, and it will be done professionally for $245.

[carlova78]

i rather do it myself cuz im cool like that

[v-empire]

but you cant even take the oil filter out.

[Andy C]

Lmao at this thread. Did you get this done yet Andy?

[omgtofu]

carlova...you arent old enough to drive. so why does you car need an oil change? you havent been driving it.... so change the oil every imaginary 3000 miles? or is someone else driving it and making you the bitch who has to work on it.

[carlova78]

dave- i will take it out

tufu- cuz it my project and i need experience and maybe the oils old.

[carlova78]

and why does repost want me banned??? :(

[Andy C]

Thas why^ but its just a joke chill

[~The_Duke~]

lol chinese andy you are easy as hell to mess with

[carlova78]

chinese andy? no one calls me that. it doesnt sound right.

yes i got this done. it was easy but made a mess. i hammered my screwdriver in the filter since i didnt have room to stab it. i put oil in a gingerale bottle, yogurt contaner, and in a bootle of black magic

[flip]

I spend about 35 on oil and filter.

5w30 and 10w30 is a a measure of the thickness of the oil. 5 is thiner and 10 is thicker. 5 is better for proformance 10 is better for protection...

Dude, thats wayyy overkill.


yes zeh plyerz ftw

and i used 10w40 this time around regular oil not synthetic and i appear to have gotten an oil leak right after...
should i switch to 10w30?

edit... it got worse than after runnnin synthetic

switching back and forth is bad. You'll probly have to replace seals. If your oil pan is leaking you can try tightening down your oil pan bolts. Also make sure theyre all still there...


I didn't really understand your post. But.. Synthetic will bring out all your leaks.

Tyler

yep


yeah i got all that off. but i got the wrong size tool for the filter

You can't get it off with your hands?


ill skip the filter and just put new oil in

NO!


next time,

jiffy lube. $19.95 done.

or you can take it to me, and it will be done professionally for $245.

Yah, its usually cheaper to get it done at a shop. And dave's professional oil change is crazy. It canges the color of your car one shade lighter after 300 miles.


but you cant even take the oil filter out.

heh

[~The_Duke~]

Flip man, it feels so good though lol

[FlatWoodsMonster]

100w10000 FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[carlova78]

how come? ^

[Andy C]

Protects the motor from rocks and tree limbs that accidently get sucked into the engine.

[Casey]

word

and those pesky walruses

[~The_Duke~]

Still doesnt protect againest those oil grimlins though...

[FlatWoodsMonster]

how come? ^


Man that shit is fake 100w1000 what the hell.

[omgtofu]

Man that shit is fake 100w1000 what the hell.

nah dude ive seen that shit....

itll kill a man.

[Casey]

haha dude 100w1000 ftw ....
idk 100w2000 is good for winters tho... *shruggles*

[Andy C]

Yeah, but I dont think Castrol makes that grade.

[Casey]

unfortunately

[Wes]

that 100W2000 is too damned expensive.

[240sxautox]

It's worth it... I mean shit... 100w2000... it's JDM only. Sometimes you have to get it overnighted from Japan.

[JJ Alfano]

i use vtech fluid for my engine.
