Nissan GU 3.0TD Turbo Oil

There's no specs! Right viscosity though.

BP have C6 GLOBAL PLUS which meet the Nissan spec's $94.00 for 20 litres.

I had a look at Shell website last night and noticed they now do a Rimula Ultra, which is 10W40 and appears to be semi-synthetic. Interestingly the lube recommendation was still for 15W40. I've used Rimula X in my GU 2.8 and now that I've traded up to a GU 3.0 I'm interested to read that Nissan are now recommending 10W/40.

I use Caltex Magnatec 10w40 ( I think that how it goes ) and my mechanic recons for hot work ie , in sesert work in the heat ,, bring the specs up to 15 w 40 ,,
My Navara 3.0lt TD never uses a drop of oil between services,,
I seldome take it over 3,500, but that does not nean that I am not worried if I have to, but my prefered rev range is between 2500 and 3000,,,Its just perfect

Indeed - you just have to pick a plan and run with it PG - re semisynthetic - faras I know there is no magic in the semi - its a trade-off re the price of fully synthetic - A fully synthetic oil, in the right spec range at an acceptable price should be superior.

PG,
Check out Synforce. They produce a semisynthetic (Prosyn DH) especially for Nissan diesels.
I have been running it in my 3.0L patrol for 40,000 klms and find it very good. Synforce make a whole range of lubricants especially for 4wd's and have a deal with Australia Post where they can send it anywhere in Australia. I travel around a fair bit and just ring them up and purchase a 10 litre container over the phone and I have it within a couple of days no matter where I am.

cheers,

castrol magnatec 10w40 is ok, mobil 1 10w40 and also Repco have a housebrand 10w40 oil which is made by mobil and is only $26-00 for 6 lites. All meet the Nissan spec. I just bought 10 litres of Magnatec at Repco for $50-oo. That will do me.
