Default Nismo Oil Change. <Which Oil>

Just curious I was going to do my own oil change. What is the best oil for your nismo at 3000 miles. Again not looking to gain HP with a specific oil just which is the best for our car. BTW regular or Synthetic.
Thanks

I was told at the dealer to use 5w30 Castrol syntec blend. I have always used full sythetic in my other nissans.

Syntec will work just fine if you wish to stay with it. I personally use Amsoil.

Remind me not to recommend buying your car. RP is terrible on engines on all the UAOs. See bobistheoilguy.com

the local dealers in my area are using 10-30 Chevron. Advised if I change the oil every 3K or so there is no reason to go synthetic. I'm open to suggestion??

I'm going to get motul at my local dealer. Some say to hold off on the synthetic, but I'll probably go with it on the first change.
