Lol hey guys I am about to do the first oil change in the coming weeks. I am thinking of changing on 600 and 1200 again and than keep changing every 5k synthetic.

This is my first Nissan, what oil you recommend I use with the Z. I never got my freaking instruction manual with the car wtf. I think I will do the 600 flush and than use non synthetic again till 1200 and at 1200 I go synthetic with something you fellas recommend. By the way the Z will be in Florida weather Tampa bay area the whole time if that makes a difference.

And I had a few while washing the car today not sure if I make sense bear with me

 

I use Mobil 10w30

 

I'm using Amsoil 0w30.

 

I use chicken grease.

 

Now is that the reason why the GTR is so freakin fast. nice to see people with humor. And thanks guys I wasnt sure what grade to use on the Z, but that clears it up some. This car is stock lol S2k antenna oooohhh the modding has begun lol.

 

I switched to Castrol Syntec 5w-30 at 1,500 miles...I'm at 4,000 now and so far its running like a champ.

 

Vo uses the blood of newbs for oil.

 

Awww isn't she adorable after her first bath. I think I need to stop taking all these pics or do I?

 

she looks... so.... stock...

i know you are proud of your little baby but i dont get people who post pics of their stock rides. but hey, if i cant tell you not to post them.

 

She is not stock she got 224 miles on her and a s2k antenna on the way

 

I would say dont switch over to synthetic until about 10k or so. It will allow your engine to fully break in faster where as if you switched to synthetic so early, your engine might not be fully broken in until 20k miles. Broken in = more power... Castrol, Amsoil, and Mobil 1 one have been the more popular synthetics.

 

Sooooo it's stock with 224 miles on it.

Well, until the antenna arrives and it becomes a born again custom '08 Z. After that you should change your sig to say "first custom modded '08 Z on the forums." W00T.

 

let me know when you really want to start modding it

 

Too bad you're 3000 miles away... I spent my money on worthless n/a mods.

 

 

I sure will, I will want a drop and spacers. Got anything special on install w/springs and spacers for a flush look.

 

Synthetic off the shelf - Mobile 1 OW-40 Full synthetic
or German castrol syntec (full synthetic) 0w-30. Has to be made in germany.

Conventional oil - castrol GTX

Filter - mobile 1 110.

Where did I get my info? Used oil analysis thread.
nuff said. All parts can be found at all auto parts stores.

 

I use mobile 1 0-w40 syn....I like it so far and it holds up according to the oil journals on these forums....

 

Most engine builders will either tell you that the engine is broken in once the oil heats up to operating temp or after they break it in on the dyno. It doesn't take 20k to fully break it in. Hell, it doesn't take 1200 miles.

I swear by Redline. Royal Purple is garbage. Mobil changed up.

I want to try Amsoil next and then the German Castrol.

 

Well IMHO for the car to fully break in it takes about 5k to 6k. So i wouldnt use suthentic till then. I have 4500 miles on my 07 and have change my oil 3 times with Carstol GTX. I usually change it evary 1500-2000 miles. BTW Castrol GTX is a great concentianl oil and outperforms many synthtics in the oil anylysis.
