I use Mobil 1, its a true PAO, been used to death, Ferrari uses it on their f1 cars, I think it will be ok on the Z.

I have read that high ester based oils are recommended for people who track their cars in high temperature. Since I don't I am ok with not having nissan ester oil.


Another interesting thing I came up with is:
SAE Technical Paper 2003-01-3119

Which says that engine wear and tear actually decreases with engine oil life. So the more frequent you change your oil the worse it is for your parts. Interesting read.
Ferrari F1 teams uses only Shell oil & fuels.
