Line 1: Line 1:
-The Datsun 1200's A12 engine uses a standard type oil pump. The oil should be changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.+#REDIRECT [[Oil pump]]

-Also see:+
-* Oil pressure indicator lamp: [[Wiring]]+
- +
- +
-== Oil Temperature == +
-Also See: [[Oil Pump Coolers]]+
- +
- +
-The oil temperature is controlled by the engine coolant temperature. As long as the engine coolant ("water") does not overheat, neither will the oil. Only a very few high performance cars have a separate oil cooler. So this means: +
- keep your coolant temp low, and your oil temp will be happy.+
- +
-Count on the oil temp to be about 20 F degrees hotter. So here is a good street performance equation:+
-* [[Thermostat]]: 180 F degrees+
-* Oil temp will run about 200 F degrees+
-At this temperature, the good quality regular oil (inexpensive) will perform as good as the expensive synthetics in a street car. It is high temps that ruin regular oil whereas the synthetic oil can take high temps OK.+
- +
-Now if you are racing or towing there is more to talk about.+
- +
- +
-== Engine oil capacity ==+
-* Oil pan: 2-7/8 U.S. qts., 2-3/8 Imper. qts. (2.7 L)+
-* Oil filter: 1-1/8 U.S. pints, 1 Imper. pint. (0.54 L)+
- +
- +
-Others:+
-* A15 oil: 2.8 liter+
-* A14 oil: 3.2 liter+
- +
-== Oil Pressure ==+
-From the 1973 [[FSM|factory service manual]]: +
-* Oil pressure at idle (650 RPM ): 13-17 psi+
-* Regulator valve spring+
-** Free Length: 43.49 mm (1.71 inch)+
-** Pressured Length: 30.3 mm (1.19 inch)+
-* Regulator opening pressure: 54-60 psi+
- +

- +
-== Oil Usage ==+
- +
-It is normal to add some oil between the oil changes. Usually a quart every 1,500 miles is OK. A quart every 500 miles indicates either a serious leak, or "oil burning" (bad rings) in the egine.+

-The 20Ws are good down to freezing, per the owner's manual [http://ddgonzal.members.winisp.net/wiki/om1972/24.jpg chart], while 5Ws and 10Ws are good for colder climates.+
- +
-And also they specified some single weights, but those have a limited temperature range.+
