Anyone got an oil change yet?
Im know I need to put my flame suit on, but the dealer got me concerned. Says that the Z is going to cost more than the other Nissan cars. What are you guys paying for an oil change, be great if we could get it for standard or synthetic. If anyone has gone to synthetic, is it running cooler?

The only reason that it would cost more to maintain a Z vs any other Nissan would be if the oil change interval was shorter than the others. Makes sense for the high performance engine to require oil change more often than the low power, economy 4-banger.
Why would synthetics run cooler? They're supposed to last longer, not break down as easily.

These engine use Ester oil that is also used in the GTR...Nissan says the only thing close to this is amsoil. I would recommend using the Nissan Ester HP oil or else you will get Ticking noises in the valve train..and less performance. This is a problem already in the G37 with people going into jiffy lube and getting low quality oil and complaining there engine is ticking. So spend the extra $10.00 a qt unless you rather have a ticking engine.
