Actually I thought I read somewhere either on this forum or .....wherevere it was it said that we should not use synthetic oil. But who listens to that. I have always used Mobil 1 and will probably be switching to that when I get my first oil change.

Nissan told me to switch over to synthetic only after 10k miles. I use Mobil 1, they actually recommend it, but I've always used it in my other cars anyways.

Conventional oil, I'd say after 2,000 mi's to be safe (basically next oil change). I've used castrol syntech since I've got it. change every 7,000 mi's. Has worked fine for me so far.

When I got my Z and researched it, I was instructed to switch over to synthetic at the second oil change.
