I was at the dealership today to inquire as to what kind of oil I should use on my 2016 Z on its first oil change.Of course they want me to have them install the Nissan Ester oil at $200 + tax,I declined.I did ask the fellow what kind of oil the car comes with from the factory and he said the same Nissan Ester oil?Is this true,I was under the impression the car comes from the factory with some kind of non-synthetic oil designed for engine break-in?Not trying to turn this into a "which oil is best" thread,just curios as to what kind of oil comes from the factory with the car.I did end up purchasing a couple cases of Red Line 5w-30 for a good deal.
