Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - First Oil Change: Mobile 1 or Castrol Syntec?

Spartan 1771 · 01-18-2010, 10:44 PM

I’ve had my Z for several months and just hit 1,700 miles today. With that being said, it’s not my primary driver. I’m starting to think about doing its first oil change and I need some opinions on what oil I should go with. I don’t race the car. She only comes out on nice days, so there is no need to go totally berserk and use racing oil. But I don’t plan to cheap out either. In the past I have used Mobile 1 and Castrol Syntec. Which one is the better of the two and why? Do I have any other choices?

Any and all help is always appreciated!
