2009 Nissan Navara D40 2.5L/Castrol Edge 5w30

[tgiannak]

hello to all,

at 123.000 km with castrol edge titanium 5w30 & fram ultra for 13.000km

truck lately is suffering from timing chain/tensioner rattle but the analysis is perfect i think so if you can comment on this!
truck is booked next week to checked by the dealer for timing chain problems

here is the uoa

Lots of iron wear imo. I like to see it in the single digits.

 

[tgiannak]

never had a single digit wear on iron! you think its possible? previous uoa's was with redline and amsoil

I wonder what a 3000 mile/4828 kilometer interval would look like on your truck? I'm guessing it's similar to a 370Z engine?

mine is the YD25 2.5liter 4cyl engine...370z has a v6 engine i think 3.7 liter..

but 5000km on synthetic? its a waste dont you think?

 

[aquariuscsm]

I would try it just to see if your iron levels come down.

That being a diesel, and given the universal averages, I would gather it would be difficult to try to chase a number. Now, this is a diesel, right, given the subforum? What Edge 5w-30 are you using? Is that the A5/B5 version, the C3 version, or the A3/B4 version, or something else?

yes a diesel, its the 5w30 titanium c3 version ! we dont have 5w30 a3/b4 here..

but ive picked up and running now edge titanium 0w-40 a3/b4 to see how that will go in 10.000km

 

[Garak]

Yes, iron is high, but not too terribly high. You do have ultra low sulfur diesel there, if I recall correctly?

Timing chain problems with a YD25 is normal...there is an update kit I think. When these come in I use the Edge A3/B4 5W-30 and give them a 15,000km interval...and they always go over that.

changed my upper chain tensioner 3 days ago. i dont hear any noises and if i judge from my iron levels i donts have chain issues...ive seen uoa's with chain issues and they have over 100 ppm of iron...

what do you think?

 

[Garak]

Okay, I was just curious, and that would make perfect sense given the oil choice.

 

[grnka]

does your navara have DPF ? when will you make a UOA on the 0w40?? i have a suspicion that your UOA will be much better and B4 oils are more superior than C3
