Hello,

OEM Nissan OIL for R9M engine 1,6 DCI with DPF (FRENCH by Renault), is ACEA C4 5W-30 nissan oil code KE90090043 most expensive at dealers.

But, the french use ELF OIL for the same motor (french) or similar with ACEA C4 DPF omologation less expensive or other producer like LIQUID MOLY (german) etc.

So I guess my question comes down to this:

1. Has anyone else switched from manufacturer-supplied oil/filters to OEM-spec alternatives and noticed better performance with that change?

2. Who produce OEM nissan OIL? (Brand, Company)

Please take a look at this old post on Oils, from what I found out ELF “designed the Oil and TOTAL developed it (Renault Motor) - Dave

Nice, thanks Dave.

This means that I can put TOTAL oil - ACEA C4 and ELF with same specification and will be fine.
