Nissan Kicks official website: where to find information about oils
At first glance, find the section with oils on official website of Nissan Russia not easy. The manufacturer does not sell consumables directly - instead, he offers:
- 🔧 Search for dealerships through the map (section “Service and spare parts”), where you can buy original oil.
- 📄 Electronic spare parts catalogs (For example, Nissan Parts Europe), where the article numbers of oils for Kicks.
- 📞 Online consultant, which can suggest the nearest supplier, but often redirects to dealers.
The main problem: there are no prices on the website and no option to order oil for delivery. Instead, it is proposed to leave a request for service, where the oil will be included in the cost of the work. However there are workarounds:
⚠️ Attention: Some dealers refuse to sell original oil without maintenance. This is a violation of antitrust laws - you have the right to buy consumables separately. If refused, request a written response and complain to the FAS.
An alternative way is to use Nissan Parts Online (official spare parts catalog for Europe), where you can find oil part numbers and order them through partners. For example, for Kicks with engine HR16DE suitable oil KE900-90132 (5W-30, synthetic).

How to distinguish original Nissan oil from a fake: 7 signs
According to NISSAN MOTOR RUS, up to 30% of motor oils on the market are fakes. Counterfeiting may lead to piston scuffing, increased turbine wear (on diesel Kicks) and even engine failure. Here's how to recognize the original:
- Hologram — the lid should have a holographic sticker with the Nissan logo that changes color when tilted.
- Barcode - must match the database on the site check.nissan.ru.
- Cover - on the original it has protective ring, which breaks when first opened.
- Oil color - original oil
KE900-90132has a golden hue, fakes are often cloudy or dark. - Smell — the original smells neutral, fakes can have a strong chemical smell.
- Packaging - at the bottom of the canister there should be raised Nissan logo, and the seams are smooth, without burrs.
- Price - if the oil costs less than 800 rubles per liter, this is a reason to doubt its authenticity.
Pay special attention production date. On the original canister it is laser-etched and matches the batch indicated on the box. If the date is erased or painted on, this is a fake.
Before purchasing, ask the seller to make a video of opening the package. Genuine Nissan oil has a characteristic “click” when the cap is opened - it is difficult to counterfeit.
How much oil does a Nissan Kicks need to change: engine table
Oil volume depends on engine type and year of manufacture Kicks. The table below shows the official data from the manual:
| Engine | Year of manufacture | Oil volume (with filter) | Recommended viscosity |
|---|---|---|---|
HR16DE (1.6 petrol) |
2016–2020 | 4.3 l | 5W-30 |
HR16DE (1.6 petrol) |
2021–present time | 4.1 l | 0W-20 or 5W-30 |
MR20DD (2.0 petrol) |
2020–present time | 4.8 l | 5W-30 |
K9K (1.5 diesel) |
2017–2022 | 4.6 l | 5W-40 |
Important: when changing the oil in Kicks with engine HR16DE (2021 and up) Nissan recommends using 0W-20 for cold climates (below –20°C). In other cases it is suitable 5W-30.
If you have added more oil than necessary, drain the excess through the plug on the pan. An overflow of 0.5 liters or more can lead to damage to seals And increased pressure in the system.
For diesel versions Kicks (K9K) be sure to use approved oil ACEA C2 — it protects the particulate filter from clogging.
Common mistakes when buying and changing oil in Kicks
Even experienced owners Nissan Kicks Sometimes they make mistakes that shorten the engine's life. Here are the most common:
- 🔄 Using oil out of season. For example, fill 5W-40 In winter, frosts can lead to a cold “dry” start.
- 🛢️ Mixing oils of different brands. Even if both oils match NOS, their additives may react.
- 🕒 Exceeding the replacement interval. For Kicks he makes up 15,000 km or 1 year (whichever comes first). In difficult conditions (dust, traffic jams), reduce to 10,000 km.
- 🔧 Saving on filter. A non-original filter may not retain particles smaller than 10 microns, causing engine wear.
- 📉 Ignoring oil level between changes. B Kicks with engine
HR16DEOil consumption of up to 1 liter per 10,000 km is considered normal.
One of the most dangerous mistakes is using oil with the wrong viscosity. For example, fill 10W-40 instead of the recommended 5W-30 increases the load on the oil pump and can lead to oil starvation at cold start.
Another problem - fake oil filters. Original filter for Kicks has an article number 15208-9M50A and costs ~600 ₽. Counterfeits are often sold for 200–300 rubles, but they do not have check valve, which leads to oil draining from the system after the engine is stopped.
Alternatives to the original oil: what can you put in Kicks
If the original oil Nissan not available, you can use analogues from other brands that meet the standard Nissan Oil Standard (NOS). Here are the tested options:
| Brand | Oil name | Viscosity | Tolerances | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mobil | Mobil 1 ESP 5W-30 | 5W-30 | NOS, API SN, ACEA C2 | Suitable for petrol and diesel Kicks |
| Motul | Motul Specific DEXOS2 5W-30 | 5W-30 | NOS, GM DEXOS2 | Works well in cold weather |
| Liqui Moly | Liqui Moly Top Tec 4200 5W-30 | 5W-30 | NOS, API SN, ACEA C3 | Reduces oil consumption due to waste |
| Castrol | Castrol EDGE Professional LL 5W-30 | 5W-30 | NOS, VW 504 00 | Suitable for turbocharged engines |
When choosing an analogue, pay attention to the tolerances:
- For petrol Kicks (
HR16DE,MR20DD) oil with approval is suitable API SN or ILSAC GF-5. - For diesel (
K9K) — ACEA C2 or ACEA C3.
Important: if you are switching from original oil to an analogue, reduce the first replacement interval to 7,000–8,000 km. This will allow the system to adapt to the new additive package.
Before adding new oil, flush the engine with a special fluid (for example, Liqui Moly Oil-Schlamm-Spulung). This will remove deposits from the old oil and extend the life of the new one.
FAQ: Frequently asked questions about oil for Nissan Kicks
Can I use 5W-40 oil instead of 5W-30 in Kicks?
No, this is not recommended. Oil 5W-40 has a higher viscosity at operating temperatures, which can lead to:
- Increased load on the oil pump.
- Increased fuel consumption (up to 3%).
- Accelerated wear of engine parts due to insufficient lubrication during cold starts.
The exception is extremely hot climates (above +40°C), where 5W-40 may be preferable.
How often should I check the oil level in my Kicks?
Nissan recommends checking the oil level every 1,000 km or before a long trip. This is especially true for engines HR16DE, which can consume up to 1 liter of oil per 10,000 km. Carry out the check on a cold engine 5–10 minutes after stopping.
If the level drops faster than 1 liter per 10,000 km, this may indicate:
- Worn oil scraper rings.
- Leaking through the valve cover gasket.
- Problems with the turbine (for diesel versions).
What happens if you fill in oil of the wrong brand, but with the correct tolerances?
If the oil meets the standard Nissan Oil Standard (NOS) and has the required viscosity, then nothing bad will happen in the short term. However:
- Different oils have different additive packages, which can lead to the formation of deposits.
- Mixing oils reduces the replacement interval to 7,000–8,000 km.
- In some cases, oil consumption due to waste may increase.
If you are forced to add oil from a different brand, use the same viscosity and tolerances, and replace it completely as soon as possible.
Where is the cheapest place to buy original oil for Kicks?
The lowest prices are from official dealers abroad (for example, in Nissan Parts Europe or Nissan USA). Here is a comparison of oil prices KE900-90132 (5W-30, 1 l):
- Official dealer in Russia — 1 200–1 500 ₽.
- Nissan Parts Europe — 800–900 ₽ (with delivery ~1,200 ₽).
- Auto stores (Exist.ru, Autodoc) — 950–1 100 ₽.
- Spare parts exchange (Bamper.by) — 700–850 ₽ (used or from disassembly).
The most profitable option is group order through owners' clubs Nissan. This way you can save up to 40%.
Can I use a higher standard oil (eg API SP instead of SN)?
Yes, you can. Standard API SP (2020) surpasses API SN (2010) according to a number of parameters:
- Best low-speed wear protection (LSPI).
- Increased oxidation resistance.
- Reduced oil consumption due to waste.
However, make sure that the oil is approved Nissan NOS - even without him API SP may not be suitable for Kicks.
