Like I said, the only M1 formula I would ever use is their 0w-40 formula (which I have in my car now).

God M1 5w-30 is junk. My cousin put that stuff in his G coupe and he had tons of burn-off. He took it out after about 1k miles and I told him to use Castrol Syntec's 5w-30. So far he has driven about 2,000 miles and no burn-off whatsoever.

A lowered car is nice but its pia to work on.

Im lovin German Castrol 0w30. I switched from Mobil 1 5w30 cuz oil consumption was horrible. Yes, on an HR!!!! 500 miles after an oil change my dipstick would read a that it burnt 1/4 of a quart with mobil 1. So that means in 2000 miles my dipstick would read at the low mark. That seemed very abnormal to me. Switched over to German Castrol and in 2k miles it burnt close nothing.

Over 75% of you all will not keep this car for many years. So I'm confused as to why you all worry so much over which oil to use.
This isn't me bashing. I'm sincerly curious as to why most care so much when typically people don't keep a car past 80k miles on the odometer. They typically sell and get something newer.

Why don't u use their filters?
I'm going to use AMSoil Signature 0w-30 with their EAO12. Been using them on the G35 for years. Currently cleaning it up with Penzoil Ultra full synthetic 10w-30 for about 2K miles.

I use to be a dealer but lack the time to persue it now a days. Its easier for me to buy the oil from a local supplier but they do not stock the oil filters. I'm sure the K&N's are a quality filter. Those I can pick up at Pepboys or Autozone here locally.
