so, from the factory, the 370z comes with dino not synthetic? that's kinda weird...

You don't want synthetic on a new engine, it will prevent proper break-in. Most people switch to synthetic at around 1200-3000 miles.

Sigh, I remember when I took my 370 to dealership for its first oil change at 500. I told them to just put dino but they kept insisting that all Z's(including 350) comes with synthetic from factory.

However, It's not like he was trying to take my money because he then insisted I shouldn't even get my oil changed since it was unnecessary.
