Default Hey guys... what's the best oil?

What's up Z drivers? I was about to put some Mobil 1 in my car today when I saw a warning label, so I didn't really know if this is what I should use. I figure u guys can let me know what oil is best for the Z.

Thanks!

I just buy the recycled oil from a gas station next to my office.

I don't have a gas station next to my office, but I do have one across the street from it. Do you think that oil would be just as good or does it need to be next door?

Exactly the opposite, it thrives under hot temps. You don't even need an oil cooler if you use that.

Well, my Z is a rather classy girl, and it says on the box that that is for nasty girls. My guess is it would be F-L-A-W-L-E-S-S on a 2004.5, but not on a 370.

Dreamer, what do you think about use oil from across the street from my work?

Okay, okay, a bit unconventional, but the oil off the top of pizzas is proven at high temps (ya know, because it's baked in an oven), and it's free if you eat a lot of pizza. Just drip it into a funnel and save until you have enough.
