Need tips for driving manual 370z

I was told always use what the manual says and that Nissan already did a million dollars of R&D. The oil weight gives the proper shear time on the gears and your going to let 1 person change your mind?

Yep, I'll let one person change my mind. If they spent millions of dollars on R&D. How come the CSC's fail? How the come steering locks fails? How come fuel starve? They spent the money on hoe's and blow if you ask me.

Well not really one person. This was a Nissan dealership. That one person just said Nissan now recommends 0w20 in the z.

Research "used oil analysis" or "UOA". Also learn more @ Bob Is The Oil Guy | The Internet's Number One Motor Oil Site

And for your comfort
What's up with Nissan going to 0W-20 oil vs 5W-30? - Nissan Forum | Nissan Forums

You should start a new thread just for this question

(just kidding)

Haha oh I know better than that. I actually asked this question like 7 months ago in a thread that was actually about oil and before anyone could even weigh in the thread was locked! It really pissed me off at the time. Especially since this new recommendation from Nissan is a new thing (2017) and hasn’t been discussed at length on these forums.
