Definitely synthetic, in any type of weather conditions; all you gotta do is vary the viscosity classification. Access www.mobil1.com, dude.

just put in the German Castrol 0w-30 found at AutoZone. i sh*t you not, it feels different from the mobil 1 i have been using since i bought the car. i have an idle knock issue, and it has decreased significantly. maybe its related or maybe im retarded, but i like it.

Mobil 1 0W-40 all year round. Its what my tuner recommends and I have read VERY good oil analysis reports regarding this oil from other boosted Z owners running it.
