Dealer oil question
The reason you are recommended oil used for Renault cars.... is because the engines in all J11's are all Renault derived!
Good spot. Although GTX isn't Magnatec (I think). I still can't find even a spec sheet for a compatible Magnatec oil!
I suspect it's more than a coincidence that Castrol DO recommend Magnatec for the K9K engine in the J10 model.
You are correct that the GTX isn't magnatec. I thought the J10 used castrol edge?
Anyhow, from the sales invoice it clearly states "magnatec" which can only mean that they have been using the wrong oil because the GTX is the only oil that Castrol specifies is to be used in the J11 K9K engine, that's according to there website.
I think you might need to have a word with the dealer to find out what's going on, which has got me thinking now which oil my dealer is using?
Like a lot of folks on here who have the three year service package, I have never received the details of what oil is being used.
Dealers using wrong engine oil???
Please someone tell me I'm wrong.

I have spent a couple of hours searching this morning and cannot find the Oil as mentioned only the Castrol Magnatec 5W-40 C3, all that I can find is the Castrol GTX 5W-30 C4 for the K9K Engine as mentioned. Perhaps I am blind ! - Dave

I'd call Nissan Cust Serv HO 0330 123 1231 first for a definitive statement as to which oil does not invalidate the guarantee; perhaps raise in CHAT* conversation on website so you have paper trail. You could then possibly state why are they using these Castrol flavours when Nissan possibly say NO.
Only shows on their www on weekdays I think.
