Love the car and can say that i have an absolute blast driving it! I just clicked 1k miles and am ready for my first oil change. (the usual around 1-2k miles?)

Anyone recommend oil that they have had good luck with? Thanks guys!

welcome to the forum and congrats on the Z and crossing 1k. If I may suggest, do some research and use the search function a lot, as that will answer most, if not all your questions...

The topic of what/which oil to use has been covered several times over in this forum. The top 4 (there are more obviously) types of oil used here have been Nissan Ester, Mobil 1, Royal Purple, and Amsoil, all in 5W-30 weight.

For what it's worth, my dealer said not to do the first oil change until 2500.

Congrats on 1k! I started out using Redline but switched to Mobil 1 due to cost
