I'm no expert, but lots of people here run Mobil 1 synthetic. I personally use AMSOil full synthethic 5W30. www.g-owners.com has oil analysis reports from G35 users and most run Mobil 1.

Also, I think you would notice a lot less consumption using a 40 weight oil.

I agree with bythebay, go with Mobil1 0w40 or Castrol Syntec 0w30 (the made in Germany one). The Castrol is in the upper 30wt range so it is ideal for our engines. 5w30 is not recommended for the VQ35 anywhere outside the US, and I would especially not run M1 5w30 as that turns into a 20wt fairly quickly... Unless you are willing to trade some wear for tiny bit of gas mileage.
