So, I know the first 3 or 4 posts will be 'use the search function' or 'I found this in 2 second using advanced search,' but I am looking for opinions based on my particular situation.

I have a 40th Anniversary 370Z that I purchased in July of 2010. I currently have 2300 miles on it and other than starting it up about once a month, it has been under the cover since October or so. I have begun planning for spring and its oil change. I was going to use AMS Oil for the change and just plan on changing it every spring since I will only drive it a couple thousand miles a year. My brother believes that using synthetic oil is over kill since I will not be racking up miles left and right. I thought, well it will have the same oil in it for 12 months I should get a good brand. His rebuttal to this is that it won't actually be breaking down the oil since the motor will be sitting unused for weeks if not months unused.

Also, my driving is straight 'old lady.' No tracking or road racing. Any thoughts or opinions on this? Thanks in advance!
