What to do with engine oil?
capcorn:
Hi everyone,
I have some questions abt engine oil.
1. How litres of engine oil does latio need?
I bought 5L of engine oil for my 3rd servicing and nissan return me the leftovers.
Donno how much engine oil did nissan use.
2. How long can the leftovers engine oil be stored?
I read somewhere that engine oil will 'expire'.
I am thinking of storing the leftovers and use it for the next servicing.
3. If I want to dispose the engine oil, how should I do it?
I dun think I shld throw it into the rubbish bin.
Engine oil is supposed to be harmful to environment if not dispose properly.
Have a gd day everyone.

Let me try to answer a few of yr questions:
Qn 1: Our Latio needs 3.3 litre of engine oil. Sometimes the technician did not totally drain out all the dirty oil, so they pour only about 3 litres or slightly lesser in.
Qn 2: Store in a cool place away from heat. Air tight. For my i will only keep leftover oils until my next servicing (abt 4 mths plus to 5) and then used it. Because after u open the bottle, it will/may never be as air tight as when it is unopened and factory sealed.

I called and asked before. It is about $70+ dollars off the usual price.

I am going for 20000KM servicing.
Nissan charge me $265 for the servicing and I bring my own engine oil.
So its $349.00 - $265 = $84
