Change Engine Oil Warning - V36

Everytime I start my V36 it pops up with a warning message in Japanese.

A friend who can read some tells me it's something about Engine Oil, presumably 'please change it'.

My car came into the country with 10,000kms on the clock and I assume a full oil change was done during compliance. It's done 16,000kms now.

I also know in the menus there is a setting where you can adjust the service intervals and all that.

Does anyone know if this warning appears due to sensors in the car, i.e. it can tell the oil needs changing, or is it something that service guys manually reset during a service (which they neglected to do, fair enough being all in Jap).

Yep I had doubts on whether the compliance shop did change the oil in my V36 as well, so I just changed it since I've done just under 5,000km in it myself in the last 4 months. Figured I'd rather be safe than sorry, got some Mobil 1 5W-30 and changed it myself, along with a new K&N HP-1008 oil filter, all up around $120. At least now I have peace-of-mind.

Would you trust the compliance shop? Do you know them personally? My advice would be to just change it if you're unsure, or just get your mechanic to do it. I would say most compliance shops are genuine and would have done their job properly, but why take the risk? For the sake of $120, I'd rather just change it and not find out the hard way they didn't change it!

Did you guys read the thread....?

it's manually set. you can set it yourself inside one of the menu options. check loz's jap translation sticky

If its like the v35 then it has engine oil, engine oil filter, air filter, and something else I can't remember. It is manually set for xkms.

Using CamDictionary for Android, that error message posted above says "Oil filter - set distance has been reached, press maintanance button"

f**king technology, insane!
My second error reads "Engine oil - set distance has been reached. Press the switch information, maintanance. You can set information you chose"

Guess I'm due for a service!

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
