Oil Change for the 370Z

Matt

Nissan Ester Oil is recommended in the service manual, not required. Conventional wisdom says not to switch to synthetic until 3-5k miles, which leaves you with at least one oil change to take care of with a dino. As much as I paid for the car, I can make sure the first oil change right after break-in is considered "proper" by Nissan. I'll switch to a full synthetic at 3500 miles or so.

Whether or not you change to synthetic at 5 or 5000 miles, that's your choice. But the last thing I would do is use regular 5w30 included in the $39 oil change at the dealership (unless you're getting a discount off the $100 one).

Oil change threads are new and exciting.
