Its two types of oil, the ceramic ester compound 5W30 very very expensive and the carbon graphite oil 10w40 a little expensive

Currently i use the CASTROL SLX 0w30 on my 04 Z

I wouldn't bother with either. You're paying for a load of Teflon and graphite in the oil. The problem I see with this from their marketing and "technical" information is that first, PTFE doesn't belong in an engine oil. They have packaged it with boron, and while boron has good qualities for an oil, it is usually found in the form of borate esters (a hydrocarbon chain) rather than a nitrate. I don't buy the chemical packaging they promote to ensure the desirable properties of these compounds stay effective and don't fall out of suspension. Molybdenum is most commonly used in engine oils in the form of an organomolybdenum compound known as MoDTC (Molybdenum-dithiocarbamates) and not in a sulfur compound such as this company uses because of the corrosive effects it has on copper. Now, I know that sometimes sulfur-moly compounds such as Molybdenumdisulfide may be actively be reacted with a copper agent (the compound methylenebisdibutyldithiocarbamate) before being applied to the oil formulation in order to prevent copper corrosion. However, there are other ways to ensure sulfur additives may be used in an engine oil with good results and without the added cost of this method. They also mentioned some good points about esters, but failed to mention any of the negative aspect esters bring to the table. If I were you, I'd stick to what you've been using and be wary of expensive "Slick 50" Euro-copycat products. If you really feel the need to be special with your oil selection, then take a look at Silkolene's products and enjoy the fact that you can buy it for less than we can here in the States.
