What grade of engine oil does a nissan terrano 3.0 turbo sve 2002 need

Presumeably you are referring to the ZD30DDTI.
As is usually the case there are three listings depending on climate:

i - cold climate = 5w30 semi synthetic
ii - moderate climate = 15w40 semi synthetic
iii - warm climate = 20w40 semi synthetic

all with an API/ACEA classification of CF/B3-98

I would imagine the moderate temp 15w40 to be most suitable although i'm unsure of your geographical position !

Stick to the best oil you can afford - Castrol Magnatec is very good and exceeds the required quality grade.

One last thing, 6.7 litres with filter.

Best wishes.

I have the 2.7 turbo,my engine oil is 10-40,which an oil company and my mechanic reccomend,only put fully synthetic in if you are going a long time between services.

Fully synthetic oil ( contains extrat additives ) is the choice for engines that have been ' designed ' to be used with it from new. I've always found that an older engine that has been serviced regularly using a semi synthetic blend will tend to leak slightly when using the fully synthetic variety.

Some may disagree, but that is my personal findings.

Lest we forget we ran spits and hurricanes etc on essentially mineral oil !

Best regards to all
