Knowledgable responses would be appreciated.

You won't be able to do much "spirited driving" with that temp that high before goin into limp mode. Oil doesn't effect the tempature of the engine as far as going from nissan's oil to mobil 1. I thought that same thing but the Z's come with a ester based oil from factory and mobil one claims to have ester in there oil. If you research you will find that Mobil 1 full synthetic is a ISLAG GF-5 and Nissan runs a ISLAC GF-6.
