I use Mobile 1 5W-30 in my Z, changed at 4700 miles for no particular reason except I want a syn oil for better startup lubrication.

the reason mobil is better is it's ability to stay thin and take heat away from the bearings, the molecular strength is no better than dino. also the mobil molecule doesn't bind with carbon atoms as easy as dino so it stays clean longer.

If you change oil and filter every 3000 miles in your Z you can use any quality dino or synthetic 5w30 oil and never have a oil related problem with your Z for as long as you own it.
