Default Best Lube?

When I got my last oil change, the guy said not to waste your money on "synthetic" oil. I think that is BS.

What do you all think?
What is the best oil to put in the 350z?

alright, I've used synthetic on my cars for almost a decade... definitely a huge improvement compared to mineral in my old pathfinder and in my other Z's... in this one, well, it's pretty much ran pretty well to begin with, but I put Mobil 1 synthetic in it on the first oil change anyway. Considering switching to Redline throughout the car, but pretty pricey and not available everywhere.

one thing someone mentioned was that if you go with full synthetic, you shouldn't go back to mineral cause your car supposedly adapts itself to the viscosity of the synthetic. don't know if that's true or not, but never planned on switching back anyway.

do a forum search, there's tons of discussions about this topic. hope that helps... that's for under the hood.

for under the belt, there's ky (as bullish said), there's ASTROGLIDE and my personal favorite, **** EEZE... the last one allegedly has an anesthetic so as to reduce the discomfort of **** sex so you can be like, "hey baby, trust me, you won't feel a thing"... or at least that's what I hear...

there's also a bunch of the flavored lubricants/massage oils but they may be oil based which isn't good especially if you've got your raincoat on... also, never, NEVER use baby oil as that sh*t is toxic... seriously, if inhaled it can be lethal... at least it can be for small children... and you wonder why they call it fricking "baby oil"... oh well.

I like Castrol GTX or Valvoline for organic oils. Mobil 1 for synthetic. You're not supposed to go back to organic once you put syn in because the seals may shrink and cause an oil leak.

got a pretty cool job with ford when i graduated. yup, as in ford motor company, so watch those mustang comments. hah! actually I started liking american v8's a lot more once I got out here. the job's still pretty nice but i get a more permanent position in august. hopefully i'll like it.

yup, clubs here aren't great but the bars aren't bad. and the people... well, let's just say what you've heard about the midwest is right here in michigan.
