Default Is this oil good for 350z?

As I am searching the net, I stumbled upon this oil: https://mobiloil.com/en/article/why-...arch&WT.srch=1

Is this oil applicable to our 350z? I need your opinions.

That's all marketing bullish!t, for the uninformed consumer. What exactly does a year mean, anyway? How I drive my car in a year may be very different than you, right? What will work well in your Z is the Mobil 1 5w/30, as spec'd by Nissan. You can get a little more protection from the Mobil 1 0w/40, which I switched to as soon as the factory warranty ended. It will make staring easier, and give a bit more oil pressure when the engine is hot. Change it every 5k miles or so, with a Mobil 1 M1-110 filter, and you're good to go. Truth be told, and name-brand oil changed at factory-recommended intervals is fine.

Like dcains mentioned! Don't mess around cutting corners with your engine protection; stick with top quality engine and all fluids/lubes only.

You can look around on this site and see what premium engine oils that guys are using; can't go wrong with several of them. I've never used anything but Mobil 1 5w/30 full synth. (since car was broken in).
