370z oil 5w20 or 5w30?

bigZ · 06-03-2011, 03:37 PM

I used 5w20 Pennzoil platinum for my first oil change on my370z. Should I have used 5w30? I live in Sunny Austin TX.

Mine says "370Z" and it cromed out.

Bought used? It will tell you in the owner's manual.

Use what's recommended, 5-30w synthetic
There are many threads on this subject in the engine/exhaust section. Take a moment to read what most are using.

i use H20.

why bother using oil when it gets hot anyways. just use water. water is colder and refreshing.

H20 makes sense. It is cold and refreshing.

Totally overrated, douchebag. Synthetic sex oil is just a marketing scheme to get you to buy more expensive sex oil without any performance gain.
