Check your oil levels periodically... if they keep getting lower and lower over time, you either have a leak or are burning oil.
Also, check to see if your exhaust smoke is a bluish color...

You should tell the tech that most over the popular counter "synthetics" (except Mobil 1) in the US are Group III Hydrocracked based...so they aren't really synthetic (PAO or Ester) at all.
I have been running PAO based oil for 20,000+ miles in my Z..no problem.

Anyone have a recommendation on regular oil brand for a first oil change....I'm going with either a K&N filter or a Mobil 1 filter and probably Valvoline unless I hear otherwise from you guys...
Thanks,
RV
BTW, Great info Kray-Z

Mobil one is a good choice. Really it doesn't matter all of the oils perform so close to one another your paying the extra money for marketing.
Without seeing a UOA or VOA of the oil you'll be using i would recommend using whatever you feel like.
Without a true baseline and numbers. Which oil is the best? If you can answer that without any proof you must be god.
Go with mobil one or something with a PAO base. Its a true synthetic if your thrifty and want something decent and better than dino oil go with castrol or supetech full synthetic.
