    Getting confused about oil type.

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    I am getting confused about the oil type and grade I have to use in my 2000 Pathy R50 VG33e... Reading about oil grade... All of you or most part of you (Pathfinder users) use 5w30 or 10w30 oil... But here (in Colmbia) I asked in some forums and they use 20w50 or similar... And they use mineral oil... I asked some mecanics... And they said you can use 20w50 or 10w30...

     

    Here in Bogotá (2600 meters altitude) we have dry and rain season... Temperature almost never goes down 0 celcius... And is difficult to have 28c or 30c... But if you drive two hours out of the city you can have 25c to 40c... And you woul be at 1000 meters altitude... Or you ca reach sea level and great summer weather at 4 hours ride....

     

    Should I use 10w30 or 20w50... Mineral, synthetic or semi... Thanks! 👍

    Maybe a small leak... Almost a six months ago that happend to me... It was a loosen screw...

    In the coolant reservoir the level was ok, but in the radiator was a little down.... I tighten al the screws and when I was doing that one hoose was humid... That's where I found the leak that affected the temperature.

    Just go Rockford. There have been zero issues with those who have installed them. They cost a little more but are built to a higher standard.

    How much do they last? In months or miles?

    Thanks.

    I just changed my inner cv boots for Nissan's, they where really really expensive... Almost 70 dolars (COP$200.000), and the outer cv boots for OEM or i don't know the brand for 7 dolars (COP$7.000).. really cheap.... But the Nissan's plastic seems much better that the cheap ones...

     

    I have read good comments about Rockford cv boots....

    I found these silicone and neoprene boots... http://www.autozone.com/drivetrain/cv-boot-kit#

    Or these HippoRed, from Italy... http://www.hippored.com/?portfolio=cuffia-facile-easy-boot-cv&lang=en

     

    Which could be a good quality cv boot and with a reasonable price?
