Nissan 200SX Club - South Africa

What oil can I use , I have a bottle of Hx7 and Helix plus but it isnt full synthetic , I am going to track my standard 1991 200sx
Any advice?
I also need parts for it , I live in durban south africa

what oil is in the car currently?

I have no idea I just bought the car last weekend and it needs a oil change soon

Need to find out you cant mix mineral and synthetic

I will drain it and put new oil in

Need to flush it if u changibg from mineral to synthetic and VV

But what should I put in ?

Can I put hx7 or helix plus ?

I use shell helix ultra fully synthetic, been running it about 3 years and never had a problem, motor is brilliantly clean inside, although i service it alot even though I've only put like 8000km on it in 3 years

Okay cool

+1 on the Helix Ultra, but it's become really expensive the last while.

I now run Indy Oil Syntro 5W40. Fully synthetic oil and really cheap! Been using it on my freshly built engine (after break in) and
even my wife's Almera and no complaints so far.

Btw, do some research on the mineral with synthetic mix. You are allowed to mix the two (that's what they do with semi-synthetic oils like
Shell Helix HX7), but try not to mix different oil brands as some of the additives can fight each other and/or cancel each other out...but don't
take my word for it, do some research, its actually very interesting

Hope this helps

Yup hx7 is semi synthetic, i use that is my mom's Almera and would even recommend it for an sx but the ultra a better choice, my friend works for shell so i get slight discount on shell stuff so i havnt tried other brands yet, Castrol edge is also good i hear, Mobil is a bit over priced i think
