No. The nannies will kick in long before the oil gets too hot. 370Zs run hot, so installing an oil cooler is a good idea but not really necessary for most DDs.

Most likely not. You might get lucky and someone there will know a little bit about cooling off a 370Z but don't bet your lunch money on it.

Any high-quality oil will do just fine - as long as you change it frequently. Mobil 1 is a high-quality oil, so it won't hurt. Plenty of threads on this site about oil.

Probably not.
