Oil brand and weight recommendations?
I will be changing the oil for the first time in my car tomorrow (1500 miles). Can anyone recommend to me a good oil brand and good weight to use (10w-30, 5w-30)? Thanks in advance!

As for weight, either you mentioned is ok...I use 5w-30 due to the area I live. In warmer climates, I prefer 5w-40 or 10w-40. Just my opinion........

Stick to owner's manual. 5W-30 year round. FYI; Nismo actually has an oil for the Z and it is a 5W-40 weight. The theory is that fuel economy requirement for auto manufacturers (CAFE) is the reason we use thinner oils. Some belive thinner oils provide less protections at high load. realistically, you will probably never see the differnence in the real world.
