read the oil analysis and you will stop overpaying for an oil that gets outperformed by dino castrol gtx. pay particular attention to the wear analysis. i was planning on going with 5w-30 RP when i first got this car but the info on my350z swayed me in the right direction. for anyone that has not seen it yet. my350z oil analysis

Hi, clean freak here........!

Since I don't put a lot of miles on my G like I have done in the past with my
previous cars I change it every 4 months......Red Line Synthetic 10/30 and
always a K&N oil filter. Overkill I know, but I wash out my garage every
month too (clean freak)........

You guys have a lot of money to spare... changing oil every 3K miles even when using synthetic oils

I change my oil every 3750 miles with a good conventional oil (Pennzoil, Castrol, Havoline, Valvoline)
