Two quick questions out of curiosity: (1) what oil do you use and (2) does your Z burn any oil?

1 - Nissan Ester oil
2 - No (I've only got 6800 miles on the car and the oil has been changed once so far)

How do you like the Nissan Ester oil? Do you plan to keep it or change it out eventually to synthetic?

I'm really liking it...original oil ran completely different (worse) than this one. Changing to this oil felt like I got an intake or something car runs so much smoother and revs easier (if this makes any sense at all).
