Not from a $ perspective, albeit holy s*it @ the creiminal genuine filter price. More from a fu*ing hell @ filter locations.
Nissan man says every 10 for the td oil burner (no burning oil here) but mighty interwebz suggest every 5 to tickle its fancy for the oils.
But how about the filters is it a wise safe move to swap oil every 5 but filters on every second round (every 10)?
Not sure of it being wise but I did that when I had a oil burner and still do it with the '92 efi version never a problem here.
10k filter swap over is what I’ve been doing on my td42t for the 16 years I’ve owned it. No dramas.
Bought ours to 'see us out'.
Telstra had oil & filter changes at 5000km services from new, I've continued that, but a couple of times have taken that up to 7,000kms when we have ben somewhere where an oil change wasn't possible. Bought the car at 153,000km, now a bit over 250,000km & dipstick shows same level at oil change intervals as at time of filling. Always used Penrite HPR 15 semi snynthetic.
Possibly overkill but I happy to do it. Got home after 5 years away recently & found 18 new filters I'd forgotten I had in a cupboard so won't have to buy any for a while! :) They've certainly gone up in price since i bought them - mix of Genuine Nissan, Ryco, Fleetguard & Donaldson.
I used to do every 5K, but now its once a year. Which it rarely gets to 5K a year these days, and swap out the filters also. No point in an oil change and using dirty filters.
Mine are on ~6-monthy. No idea on KMs. they get done when they need it.
Oil and filters. Used to get filters for like $6, but even now it's up around 12-14 (so $30 for a pair)...cheaper than engine rebuild.
