New-owner-changing-oil-for-first-time question
 

I'm about to do an oil change hopefully mañana and my question to u my
Fellow 370z colleagues is what kind of oil would I need for a 40th with 70k
Miles on the clock. I searched and searched for threads about changing oil and a lot of them were originally made on 2009 or 10 with lower mile cars and I need advice on a higher mileage car.
Any advice will be highly appreciated:bowdown:

Any full synthetic of the factory spec weight will do you just fine. Don't overthink oil.

exactly like what chuck said....but i only use mobil 1 5w30. its all about preference of what you like or not

I'm amazed this thread hasn't blown up. Good job heading it off quickly, Chuck :icon17:

I use Mobil 1 simply because I can get 5 qts at Walmart for $25 :tup:

If you do want to overthink oil, Bob Is The Oil Guy | The Internet's Number One Motor Oil Site . That's where chemical engineers talk about oil. It'll make your head hurt, but there's good stuff to be found.

"so what are you feelin Lance? a 40 weight?......a 50 weight?"

:bowrofl:

but yes what chuck said is best.

i myself use Red Line oil that i get from Z1. but everyone is different and there are a million threads about oil choices on here.

also i wouldnt consider 70k high mileage.

I only use the brand of oil that has the most prominent logo on the car of the points leader in NASCAR standings. If it works in a 900 hp stock car it must be what's best for my Z, right? If the driver also has a patch on his driving suit, then I also use that company's oil filter.





Just kidding. I use Mobil 1 with either a Wix, K&N, or AC oil filter.

Don't forget to use a new crush washer.

I filled her up, no pun intended, with full synthetic Mobil 1 5w30
And didn't use a new crushed washer...should I be worried or can I sleep
At night?

I'll sleep fine no matter how you change your oil.

Any metal flat washer will work. Enjoy your sleep.
