whats the best oil for the G35? My dealer just put in Valvoline...(first service)

 

the best oil is to post it in the correct section of the forum.

 

Amsoil is supposively the best but it's sometimes hard to find. Mobil 1 is the most common and holds up pretty well too.

 

Search

 

listen, i did search and got NO RESULTS. I searched like 3 times BEST OIL, BEST OIL FOR G35, G35 OIL, and still got NO RESULTS. I mean I'm not a noob so i think i know how the search function works...forgive me for "reposting" but i mean its not that big of a deal, i just asked a simple question. If all you want to do is say "put it in the right place" or "search" why even bother posting?

Thanks for those of you who replied.

 

"German" Castrol Syntec 0W-30.......

 

Sorry for the quick "search" statements but it seems like we have these motor oil questions every week.
If your car is going in for it's first oil change, I assume the car has under 10K miles. In that case, I doubt there would be much difference in the traditional dyno oils anyway. Once you put more miles on, Mobile 1 is what I would go with. Hope that helps.

 

DONT put mobile one in for at least a few thousand miles... myself im waiting till 10k.

anyways the reason is regular oil will allow the rings,cams etc to set properly... mobile 1 and other low friction oils will not allow the rings to seat quickly or even at all.

ppp

 

I'm unsing Motul right now. 0w40.
seems to be working well

 

For dino oils, you can't beat Havoline, and my car loves it (very quiet and smooth). Run Havoline at 3k intervals until 10k mi then switch over to any synthetic with the ACEA A3 rating on the back (Castrol Syntec 0w-30 made in Germany, M1 0w-40, etc.) This is what I would recommend based on alot of oil research for the VQ35.

 

How often do you change your Synthetic Oil (Castrol, Mobile-1 or otherwise)?

 

not sure if this is available everywhere, but what about Royal Purple? Its fully synthetic and claims to be the best on the market.

 

I have 2 or 3 Royal Purple Dealers nearby, I heard its great also.

 

yeah, i've been told not to change oils for at least 8k miles. I think i am going with Amsoil or Royal Purple when i do though. What about oil filters?
