I have an oil change coming up and i was just wondering what type of oil would be best to use in my z.

 

The more expensive the better! Motul 300V FTW!

 

Amsoil 0w-30, 35,000 mile change interval! Pm me if you need anymore info!

 

try 5w-30.

 

I use AMSOil 5w-30 every 3000 miles

Read and then take advice given. All of the information you will need is in here and backed up, for the most part, by an oil analysis.

my fav is castrol 0w-30 btw

 

^ Ditto

German Castrol 0w-30 is awesome. There is a great deal of info on the subject, the most expensive oil doesnt always mean its the best. Some oil formulations have better results in the VQ than others. Do your own research, draw your own conclusions, and let us know what you are going to try for your next oil change.

 

i use Mobil 1 5w30

 

Yea I use mobil 1 full syn 5w-30

 

^ If you guys like using M1, you guys should give the 0w-40 a try. Its a very stout oil, the 5w-30 seems to thin out and break down fairly quick.

 

citymunky, you are wasting a BUNDLE of money by changing it every 3,OOO miles! That's
the b-e-a-u-t-y of synthetic oils, bro'! I do an annual oil-change (I put between 6,OOO
& 7,5OOk on my Touring Coupe, yearly). So, get with the program, man!

 

Mobil 1 0w40 for me.I also use this weight oil cause of the twin turbos.

 

Motul (aka baller oil) you'll see why if you buy a quart.

 

where can i buy some Motul 300v? ive gone to advance auto parts and napa and they didnt even know what i was talking about.

 

German Castrol is great stuff, but i use Moblie 1 5-30w in all my cars. I still change it at the recommended intervals(3750 to 4000 miles)...not that the oil breaksdown, but any good oil cleans the deposits from your engine and that is why you change it, to get rid of the deposits collected by the oil.

 

Fuction:Tuned is a Motul dealer. Dave can do an oil change for you and get you on your way, or come grab a 5 quart container.

Did you read the vq oil analysis thread?

 

Dang! ima have to drive 2 hours for an oil change. lol. i guess im just going to go with the M1 instead for now. yea i read the thread and it helped out alot. i didnt know there was soooo much information on oil alone. this is really gunna help me out alot for when i go to UTI.

 

If you are dead set on Motul, you can of course order a jug online from forged performance or any of the other vendors with online store fronts.

 

Read the oil reports...if you have a race car engine then motul would be a good choice.For a street car engine it does not get good reviews at all.







Man am i gonna get flamed for this one but its the truth.

 

^ I got your back on this one -- I would run K-Mart Synthetic if the oil analysis said it was the best choice for the VQ.
