I just purchased a 06 manual enthusiast. I am not aware of what oil the previous owner was putting into the car, I want to switch to a good quality oil and just need some input and advice from fellow Z owners on what they think is good. thank you

 

Welcome. No need for another Best motor oil? thread. Look for the starburst.

 

you are going to get yelled at!!!!!!!!
Search is the answer i found when i asked that same newb question.
I just put mobile 1 syn w/mobile 1 filter in her...seemed to enjoy it.
Royal Purple i wanted but for $100.00 a change that isn't in my budget right now.

 

Go to walmart to get royal purple cost like $50..... I just found out from my friend -_- cant believe he just told me... I was spending like $75 for mobile 1

 

^+1 on the royal purple from walmart, did 2 oil changes with royal purple 5w-30 & royal purple filter, cars running like a champ

 

Royal Purple doesnt do well in the VQ, Mobil 1 0W-40, Rotella 5w-40, Amsoil 0w-30, Castrol Edge 5W-30, Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30 all do very well!

 

there's so many "whats the best oil" threads. search first. i use Mobil.
