best motor oil for 350z that won't break budget?
so i've tried to search this topic but no luck. the only thing i found was motor oil that is recommended for twin turbo z's. So what synthetic motorl oil do you guys recommend for a standard 350z tour/manual 6speed? and how often should i have it done? i bought my car from a friend and it had about 12,500 miles on it. he told me its due for an oil change.

I'm currently running mobil one 5w30 and will be changing to royal purple 10w30 soon. my z ate about a quart of mobil 1 within a couple thousand miles so I'm switching it up. the cheapest royal purple out here is $5.49/qt but I bet you can find it cheaper in CA.

In my opinion what oil you go with has little relevancy to anything. Just buy the cheapest synthetic you can get and change it every 5000mi for FI. Mobil 1 is available at Wal Mart for $4 per quart. Why go with anything else.
I am someone with a story about a VQ35 motor with Mobil 1 NOT burning a drop.
