Hi Everyone,
New to the Z, bought one in the beginning of December. I noticed that the type of oil you use also somewhat depends on the climate you live in. I live in Pittsburgh, PA where the winters can get bad (snow and cold temps). Previous owner used royal purple 10W30, but only drove the car in spring, summer, and fall months (just garaged it in the winter). I plan on taking care of the car the same way...no winter driving. Do you guys recommend me using the Royal Purple 10W30 or should I switch to the Mobile 1 5W30 which seems to be pretty popular with most on this forum. Apologies for the stupid question, but this is the sweetest car I have ever owned and just want to make sure I take good car of it.
Thanks,
Kal
