nissan dealers have this 'ester' oil. supposedly it was formulated for the newer vhr but i think the de and hr could benefit. If your really curious about the best oil send a sample to get it analyzed.

Mud works fine. Just make sure you filter out the larger rocks first.

So... all of these sarcastic comments are absolutely, completely warranted. But I once asked a stupid question too.... So...

Admittedly, the non-rev thread seems to be more useful. Regardless, these were the result of a very simple search within this forum.

Let me give you some advice, if you are going to own a performace car like the 350z. Do some research on general performace car maintenance and car care or just take your car to the dealer for everything and for the love of God dont modify your car
