Need help on selection of motor oil

kyung88

So, I'm so sick of these idiot nissan dealers around me that have monkeys working for them.

I go to get my oil change like usual at the dealership, well these idiots are standing over the car about to put regular oil instead of synthetic like I told them to put, so I just about had it with them.

Thanks to AK370Z for providing with wonderful and fantastic details, I decided to do it my self.

so before everyone start busting out all these exotic oils, I'm just looking for a good/not too pricey oil. Something I can get from autozone or hardware stores.

lets here it..........

p.s. im sure this has been discussed a lot but what can i say, im a noob

Without going into scientific details (this oil is better than that oil debate), and only focusing on price and availability, I recommend Mobil 1 synthetic ($24.00 at Walmart for 5 qt jug). I put Mobil 1 extended performance in mine and it's $28 at Walmart. It's hard to beat that price for the quality of M1

crisco.

Can't go wrong with Mobil 1 synthetic. Many people have various favorites but no one ever seems to argue about Mobil 1.

I just put Mobile1 in my Z. I have used it on my past three cars and never had an issue. Walmart by far has the best price. Don't get taken at autozone. They give you a 4 qt bottle for 29.99 when Walmart gives you 5 qt for 24.00. Bottles look the same.

I switched to Ester when my dealer recommended it for twice the price. Now they say don't bother unless it's knocking. Wishy washy idiots! So now I'm back to Mobil 1 syn. or Pennzoil plat., whichever goes on sale at Walmart.

Since they recommend ester oil in the 370Z and since I beat the hell out of my Z I use Royal Purple. Costs a lot of $ but I feel safer using it.

This.

Sometimes you can get some sales at AutoZone or Adv Auto.

Hmmm..... Beat the hell out of it, you say...... When you sell your Z, this could prove to be an expensive post for you.

Same here, although on my last oil change a couple of weeks ago I switched to Pennzoil Ultra - same results.

DIGItonium

What I would like to know is with winter approaching are you guys still running synthetic? I haven't switched to synthetic on my Z yet.
