Hi i recently bought a 2008 D40 stx Diesel with 80,000km's on it.
The dealership was supposed to service it for its 80k but that never happened, so i took it back and complained and they did it last week.
I was checking over the engine last night sussing out what is what and looked at the air filter and it was filthy. Now i know that should have been done (cleaned/changed) in the service, so i bought a ryco filter today. But now that brings me onto the oil i'm worried if they even do the air filter, why would they bother with oil, my question is should i change the oil myself? I have to drive back to my barracks in Melbourne from Sunshine Coast QLD in a week, and last thing i want is to be calling my DNCO telling them that i'm stuck on the side of the road in woop woop. I checked the oil and it was already black after the "service" after driving about 30km i understand its a diesel but the oil wouldn't go that dark that quickly?
I've already bought 5L Penrite HPR Diesel 5w40 This oil is well recommended for the D40? i know i'll need more oil for a change. And should i invest into oil flush for the change? Also if i do change what filter nissan genuine or ryco? and i may as well whilst being down there change fuel filter any suggestions on brand (never changed fuel filter before).
Cheers Mitch
