The results don't match your search criteria. If car is newly purchased, you want to confirm the previous oil used from the seller and if you can't get that info, be careful which oil you stick to cos 37k for gallon of oil no be yam over time.

Use manufacturer's specified oil.
Check the oil filler hole and inspect if it has sludge. If the car has sludge then you should stick to mineral oil.

the manufacturer oil is any SAE standard synthetic oil with 5w-30 weight.

Which is mineral oil?

No long story oga, call gazzuzz & he will supply the right oil for your car because there are other questions to be asked, as you couldn't find the service history at the top left of the wind shield or anywhere around the car.
Though, like jceesquare said you can open the oil cap to check for sludge

Hi bro, I recently got my car too. The previous owner has been servicing the car with 20W50. The manufacturers specified oil is SAE 5W-30, so I'm planning to change the oil to Mobil Super 2000 5W-30 semi-synthetic motor oil.

What do you think?

1st, that thing called semi synthetic is a scam. It's either you're using a synthetic oil or a mineral oil. Synthetic blend is another over rated mineral oil with a little bitty touch of synthetic addictive to make more money off customers.

Switching over to the factory spec is usually not easy for an abused engine. This is my recommendation.

1. Buy the 5W30 oil (mineral oil) and closely monitor your oil dipstick daily for oil level. If it stays full till the next service, then you're fine.
If it drops then move to the next step.

2. If you noticed slight drop, you can switch to 10W40 and also closely monitor oil level. 10W40 will help lubricate your engine during cold start and also offer some reasonable amount of protection when hot. If your oil level still drops then move to the next stage.

3. Buy your regular 20W50 and use jeje. But if that one still gets burnt, move to the next suggestion.

4. Rebuild your engine, or replace engine.

Note: 1. Always inspect for oil leaks. Leaks no matter how small will over time cause you to have low oil level in the car.

2. Do not be tempted to jump to a synthetic oil as you do not know the condition of the engine. Synthetic oils with all the benefits it offers will kill your engine if it has sludge in it. Mind you, you just got the car and don't know the full service history.

3. Just because your car burns oil don't mean it's bad. Your PCV valve might just be the culprit. Have that checked before switching oils.

4. Ask a friend to drive behind you in different drive mode and observe the colour of the fume (if any) coming out of your tail pipe. This will help determine if your car burns oil or not (at least to am extent)

I got a VENZA recently

So lots of signs were appearing on my dashboard


The mechanic told me he will program it and wipe it out with 15k is it possible? Or am I been used ?

He wants to scam you. Run!!!
The proper thing to do is scan the car then fix based on the codes he get.
This is what most street mechanic does.
They either tape off the lights, or wire the check engine light to the ignition and it goes off when the car starts. With that, you would be working blindly and end up messing your car.

Don't use that mechanic again even for change of oil.

Lol. You don go enter one chance mechanic hand. By the way, don't ever allow a mechanic to go alone with your car for whatever test. Go with them.

Meanwhile, when you get signs showing on your dashboard, it simply means there's a likelihood of a physical problem with the car, especially when the sign stays for sometime without dissappearing. The best thing is to scan and know the problem so you can deal with it. Don't try to just clear it when you've not solve the underlying problem.

jceesquare:

Stop throwing parts at the car.
When replacing the fuel pump, did you replace the entire unit or just the pump itself. Also how much did you buy the pump?
You're having fuel delivery issues as your fuel line does not hold enough pressure to start the car.
Ask your mechanic to check the fuel line if it has fuel pressure in it. If not change your fuel pressure regulator. Also run a fuel pressure test on the pump and change the complete unit with an original one if it has low pressure.

You're right.
Had this issue with my 2010 Qashqai
What i did, before fixing it, was to turn on the ignition (without cranking it. Leave it in for 10secs so the fuel supplies to the line.
Once i do that, it starts on first try
