Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

I have spoken to expert oil guys about the synthetic vs mineral oil and if they mix or not. Aparantly its a myth that you cannot swith over. I have switched over on previous vehicles I had with no drama. Shell HX7 is actually a blens oil and is a mix of symthetic and mineral oil........ so think it ...

Hey guys So when I was fishing the World Carp Classic in France in September I purchased a inflatable boat that side, but didnt have space to bring it back with me. (Well if I knew how much easier it would have been if I just paid for the extra weight I would have done it). So question is if anyone ...
