Do yourself a favor and switch to Mobil 1
I've had my car for over 8 months now but have just over 3800 miles. Time to change the oil. Since I live in an apt. complex and don't have access to ramps I decided to go to Wal Mart and have them do it for me. I was kinda on the fence about going Mobil 1 for my first oil change but now that I have I can tell a noticible improvement in how the car drives and idles. Everything feels smoother and more refined. Only cost $34 too.

Yep Mobil-1 all the way. My next change, I am adding the Mobil-1 Filter. Don't skimp on the filter!
My Mobil-1 oil change runs me $15.80 and takes about 30 minutes of my time,
I do it myself and found a sale on these, so I bought 18 quarts at $3.20 a quart.

i was running redline synthetic, but i just went to mobil-1 on a recommendation of a co-worker. there is a noticeably smoother idle now. otherwise, i dont really feel much difference.
i will get mobile-1 again on my next oil change.

Just because you don't have ramps, you can still do it yourself. My Z doesn't fit on ramps, just get jackstands, lift the front up, and go at it....it's super easy as the filter/oil pan are right there once you take that plastic underpanel diffuser off.

I use mobil 1 too but was wondering if it would be all right to use the mobil 1 performance grade they make. I think it is a real high weight. I used it a couple of times on my turbo civic before I got rid of it, and it seemed to work alright. It says on the bottle it is made for performance cars that use turbo or superchargers. But you could also use it with any car that is a performance car. THanks

Don't use another filter than the Nissan filter. I was talking to the Nissan guys when I first got my car about changing to synthetic. They told me that mobil 1 synthetic was the best for the Z. Then I asked them about what oil filter. They said to stay with the nissan oem because it is specially designed for the Z, and that any other filter may not do as good of a job and may harm the motor in the long run.
