So I switched back to Penzoil Platinum and have been pleased. PP is better than M1 in their formulation and tests and it has made the car run quieter than any oil I have used. I recommend it over M1 no doubt, and if you don't want to purchase Amsoil, get PP which IMHO is good enough!

If you're whining about the price of an oil, then why did you even buy a Z in the first place? Why didn't you just buy a car for 1/2 the price and just be happy with that?

I barely spend $59/yr on oil changes with Amsoil. HOW IS THIS EXPENSIVE?! ARE YOU HIGH?!

Saying that Amsoil is expensive and then driving around in a $40,000+ car is such an OXYMORON if I have ever seen one.

$59 is what it costs me for 5 quarts and 1 filter and I am DONE for the entire year with Amsoil.

Add up what you're wasting on Mobil 1, RP or RL all year and I can bet you it's a hell of a lot more than $59 bucks.

I use 5 quarts of the 5W30 and an EAO12 oil filter on my '05 350Z. $59 includes tax and shipping... that's OUT THE DOOR delivered to my porch.
