    Just wondering does anyone know what engine oil should be used on a 00 Micra, Semi or Full Synthetic?

    I presume a 10w 40 Semi Synthetic will be the one as its a standard 1l engine... just want to make sure :)

    Semi Synthetic IMO.
    What does your owners manual suggest?

    micras are one of the best built small cars you can get, pity they look so silly!

    I ended up using 10w 40 Semi Synthetic, did the job grand.

    I agree about the Micras being bulletproof. Both my parents have Micras, never given a days bother. They also use chains for the timing which is a brilliant idea.. I wish all cars were chains
