Where to buy oil?

I need to topup oil every 4-6 months.

Euro car parts is my first point of call normally.

Just wondering if there was a better cheaper place?

Thanks.

Problem with keys - battery changed a few times

My key doesn't seem to want to connect to the car without a press on the key. I press the door button with the keys in the pocket - it doesn't respond. 20% of the time I can't just press the start button - it says key not recognised. I've got 2 keys. I've changed the battery twice now. The batteries...

Re: Need windscreen wiper blades

I'll get from them if I have to
But is there nowhere where I can just get the rubbers?

Need windscreen wiper blades

I need to get windscreen wiper blades.
Where can I get just the rubbers?

If not, where would be the best place to buy from?

Halfords, their own make for windscreen wipers - the whole thing, for 2 front and rear, they quoted me £38.

Thanks.

Re: What oil do I need?

EDIT: I added 1 litre of oil... but the dipstick isn't showing anything. Do I need to drive around first? (This is the first time I've ever topped up oil!) 5W40 oil is finished. I have 5W30 that I used on my Toyota Prius. Given the previous mentioned... am I OK to use the 5W30 to top up if needed? (...

Guys, thanks for the replies.
Reassured by your words - wish I could say the same for the Nissan dealer.

Re: Flashing handbrake light + flashing P light

Guys I feel bamboozled by all the above technical info. 🤔
Not sure what to think.

Breaks are OK.
Cables - couldn't tell.

I'm not sure now if I should be worrying?
The lights have gone.
Nothing to worry about?

Re: What oil do I need?

Dave, thanks for confirming. I called up my local Nissan. After looking up the details, they proudly confirmed and told me that the correct oil was: 5W30. I told them that was odd, as the oil I had left from the last service by the mechanic was 5W40 - I was calling just to make sure. He quickly and ...

What oil do I need?

While checking my car yesterday, I noticed the oil was way too low. It's a 66 plate Qashqai petrol 1.2 litre. What oil do I need? I have a bottle that is 5w/40 - I'm 99.99% sure this is the one I need. It's left over from the service last done - or maybe it's from something else!!? Just wanted to be...
