Awesome man. I typed in "oil" into search but it came back with nothing. I was surprised so I tried it again. Maybe i was in the wrong forum.

Thanks again!

Nah, I saw the same thing just now. Maybe indexing is busted. Try going to Google and type in oil site:g35driver.com. http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=oil+site%3Ag35driver.com&btnG=Google+Search

The Oil I use....!

On my previous Z and this G I started by using Mobil 1 synthetic. I'm currently
using Red Line synthetic 10w/30 because I live in a warm climate area.......
I also use K&N oil filters because I believe they're much more efficient than
other brands....FYI!

I have been using Mobil 1 5W-30 on my G35 and 300M. Switched over to Quaker State Q-Power full synthetic on my Chrysler 300M with 107K miles on it since I was given a free full syn oil change. After the Q-Power oil change my 300M felt very responsive and racy that it did not have with the M1.

I will now be switching over to Q-Power full syn on my G35 in the next two weeks. If you go to the qpower.com website there is a rebate form for $10 back to you with a purchase of 5 quarts.

Mobil1 is still a good oil even with the formulation change, I would still use it before I used royal purple, but my number 1 choice is still Amsoil tso/sso
