Nissan Juke Oil Burning & Oil Consumption Prevention Kit (1.2 DIG-T)

Nissan Juke 1.2 DIG-T Oil Burning and Oil Consumption Problem

The 1.2 DIG-T turbocharged petrol engine of the Nissan Juke (Juke F15 (2014-2019) 1.2 DIG-T) has become notorious for oil consumption. On some cars a broken piston ring appears as early as ~50,000 km; oil consumption usually becomes noticeable between 50,000 and 100,000 km. The main causes are piston ring wear/breakage and oil leakage from the turbocharger. Renault has issued software and parts updates.

Oil Burning Prevention Kit for the Nissan Juke

• Juke that consumes oil → 5 L Brava Extreme 9000 5W50 + A980 NanoComplex — a thicker film that noticeably reduces consumption.
• No consumption / protection → 5 L Brava Extreme 9000 5W40 (RN0700) + A980 NanoComplex.

How Does A980 NanoComplex Reduce Oil Consumption?

It strengthens the oil film and reduces leakage past the rings, cuts oil passage into the combustion chamber and noticeably reduces consumption, while protecting the engine and the turbo.

Which Motor Oil for the Nissan Juke?

The 1.2 DIG-T engine requires a fully synthetic oil approved to Renault RN0700 (5W40). If your car consumes oil, 5W50 is recommended; if it does not, 5W40. Both are offered in the kit as Brava Extreme 9000 fully synthetic.

Nissan Juke Oil Capacity

• Engine: 1.2 DIG-T
• Oil capacity: ~4.6 L (may vary by engine code)
• Kit: 5 L Extreme 9000 + A980 NanoComplex 300 ml

Nissan Juke Oil Burning Symptoms

• Blue/grey smoke from the exhaust
• Frequent oil top-ups, oil warning light
• A whistle/noise from the turbo, power loss
• A clear level drop on long journeys

Other Common Problems of the Nissan Juke 1.2 DIG-T

• Turbocharger oil leak / wear: One of the main partners in oil consumption; when the turbo seals leak, consumption rises and blue smoke appears. The correct viscosity and clean oil protect the turbo.
• Early piston ring breakage: Reported on the Juke as early as ~50,000 km; with severe damage an engine rebuild is required. Early intervention (the correct oil + A980) slows the progression. Severe damage is mechanical service work.
• Carbon (soot) build-up: Soot on the intake valves with direct injection; injector / fuel system cleaning and clean combustion reduce it.

Note: This kit targets the oil side of the Nissan Juke; severe piston ring or turbo damage is a job for an authorised service centre.

Frequently Asked Questions

At how many km does the Nissan Juke start burning oil?

On the 1.2 DIG-T Juke, oil consumption often starts between 50,000 and 100,000 km; on some cars a broken piston ring has been reported at ~50,000 km.

Which oil does the Nissan Juke use?

A fully synthetic oil approved to Renault RN0700; 5W50 if it consumes oil, 5W40 if it does not. The kit contains Brava Extreme 9000 (5W50/5W40) + A980.

What is the oil capacity of the Nissan Juke?

Approximately 4.6 litres (varies by engine code); the kit contains 5 litres (with a reserve).

What is the main cause of oil consumption on the Nissan Juke?

Piston ring wear/breakage and turbocharger oil leakage. The correct viscosity + A980 reduces consumption, and early intervention matters.

Will this kit stop oil burning on the Nissan Juke?

A980 + the correct oil noticeably reduces consumption; unless there is severe ring or turbo damage, most cars come close to normal.
