sk tunes his 370z

Ah, word brucelidat I didn't realize that. Thanks for calling that out. Ok, so perhaps I'll have Nissan do the oil change up to 5K and just request they use an ester oil, then once I hit 5K I'll start doing them myself.

Thanks again man!

you can buy the ester oil form them or somewhere else and do it yourself still. Dealer way overcharges for everything. I did order the magnetic drain plus that AK370z recommended though. They rip you off with shipping i think ($10 to ship that little thing?), but I can't really find it anywhere else and it'll be good for our engine sin the long run.

That's exactly what I did. Followed break in as per OEM instruction. Changed oil to nissan ester oil at 1500, then changed to synthetic and added Z1 oil cooler at 5K.

I was originally going to go with a Stillen oil cooler, but the z1 seems good too and it'll cost less shipped to my door than the Stillen even if I drive over to pick it up, seems like a good deal.
