Need help on selection of motor oil

So I just went with Pennzoil plAtinum and a k&n filter. It was so cheap at Walmart. Lol
Also car is running cooler.

While I'm still only sitting at 500 miles, when the time comes I'll be using Mobil 1 synthetic and the Mobil 1 filter.

I've used this combo on the Altima and Maxima I owned so I feel pretty comfortable with it.

thanks!

I forgot to mention I'm buying the Castrol Edge at Walmart too. It's way cheaper than the auto stores. You can get the cheaper 5 QT jug too.

The advantage to the Advanced Auto Parts deal is you get a premium filter as well. Current deal is running for 5qt Castrol Edge + K&N filter for $32.99. I choose the HP-1010 which is the extended version of the HP-1008. The filter goes for $14 by itself!

Last week I changed the oil in my Z for the first time. I chose Greddy GR-3 oil and Fram Tough Guard filter.
