Oil Change Question...

I currently have 1300 miles on my 370 and was wondering if it would be ok to change the oil and put redline 5w30

Do a search on the topic. There are plenty of discussions regarding when you should switch over to synthetic. Some do it right away, others wait for the second or third change.

Redline recommends changing to their oil at about 4000 miles. They should know best.

As the posters before me said, wait a little. Drive at least 3500-4000 on regular oil. Then GO REDLINE!

And ... I have a 370Z as well and did my first oil change at 985 miles. My point was to make a decision and go for it. Cheers.
