What type of oil is recommended for our G35's

[turboborra]

I only had my G35 for about a month. Oil oil change is coming up and I was just wondering what do you guys like to fill it back up with, Synthetic or Conventional and what type do you prefer?

Valvoline
Pennzoil
Castrol
Mobile
Others

How many miles to you have on it?

[illmaticxdrp]

hmm stay with conventional oil until u get around 10k ..

[RealMFG]

I bought my G used with 18k miles. Im about due for an oil change as well, what oil should i use?

[Zoomzoomers]

Use canola oil. Deep fry.
















j/k Most people speak highly of Mobil 1.

I only use Valvoline 5w-30 Synthetic and i also buy the Mobil 1 oil filter b/c the stock filters are pretty cheap.

I agree on oil but your statement on filters does not make much sense. There was a study, or experiemnt shall I say, done on all brand filters for my previous Z and it turns out that the stock filter is the best way to go. I will try to find the link. I realize G filter is small, but stay witht the OEM filter and you can't go wrong. One less thing to worry about.

^^^ That may be true, i dont know, but i dont trust the cute paper OEM filter. If you can find that link i would love to read it

I use Mobil 1 5w30 but I'm changing to Mobil 1 0w40 since I have a Vortech.

The OEM filter is not bad, but as long as you stay away from Fram, I think you will be fine.

WHAT?! I just changed my oil and used a fram oil filter..!! where can i get the oem filter? i got what i could at AutoZone.

^ the dealership .

[k monster]

how much do they go for? Does Nissan sell them too?

[Gilley]

You can get the Nissan oil filter for the Z. It's the same. I use the slightly longer filter for the 3.5 liter Maxima. I figure its a little more filter material.

i thought fram was dependable?

[chrisytsma]

Shoot, whats wrong with Fram? Do you just trust oem more or do you have an actual reason why fram is no good? I always thought they were one of the more reliable filters out there...
