Don't forget about Castrol GT LMA. It's not quite the specs of the Valvoline but it's close and it is one of the least hydroscopic of all the fluids out there which makes it an excellent DD fluid. Also one of the most affordable. There are better low cost fluids like Ford HD but it's so hydroscopic that its pretty much only good for racing when the fluid is changed quite frequently. LMA is an excellent replacement for the majority of the 370Z owners including guys who track the car.
