its almost time for an oil change, first one since i bought the car. im a 17 year old driver, i mostly drive in city conditions and mostly drive normally and calmly. i do however like to play with the car sometimes. what kind of oil should i use?

and btw, yes, i searched and couldnt find anything

 

synthetic for sure brah, mobil 1 is actually a really good oil so just use that, now if you were heavily modded and prob supercharged i would assume youd need like royal purple or somethin haha

 

^what he said. Wal-Mart $23 for Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic 5Qt jug.

 

Oh no not another thread. Castrol > M1

explain why castrol, those charts do nothing for me haha we want less lead and whatnot obviously?

 

What is the matter with you guys? AMSOIL is the best oil for this car. It's been proven to last (the same oil) for over 25,000 miles. I've done two oil changes on my car in almost 3 years and it runs better than every other G35 I've driven.

 

You change your oil every 25k..? Thats crazy!!!

 

SEARCH! it only takes a few clicks... :P

 

That's the recommended interval. I run Amsoil too but change mine every 10,000km (about 6200 miles).

 

Castrol Syntec 0w-30.

 

wow you guys are BRAVE or CRAZY idk which one

 

which amsoil? that chart has like 4 different ones

 

Outsanding! Next time you change your oil, check out how it looks just like mud. It's sucking the life away out of your engine. Not much lubrication left there. After extensive research on here and other sites, I decided to go with Castrol Syntec 0W-30, German stock. I then asked my mechanic how long could I go between oil changes, since I'm spending more for expensive synthetic and guys on this sites recommend 5k, 6K, or even longer intervals. He took the time to explain how the engine heat rises in the engine and the longer you leave the oil in the the more it sticks to the engine and the more gunk and residue that says inside there. I asked abiut 3,500 miles and he agreed. It's your car but, my oil changes including and Mobil 1 oil filter run about thirty bucks a piece. I paid over $35k for my car. Don't think I will try to save on oil.

 

First of all, for every oil except Amsoil, what your mechanic said is correct. But Amsoil is much different than the other synthetics out there...I am a part-time dealer and if you'd like me to go into detail about why this oil is better for your car, just PM me.

Second, my oil looks nothing like mud. It looks no different than your would, or any other car's oil I've changed after 2,500-5,000 miles. I constantly check my car and oil level, but the truth is that the oil I'm using is far superior to the others and it withstands every test you can throw at it. If you truly went through "extensive research" I doubt you would've used Castrol, and you probably also wouldn't flip out at merely hearing a person say they use something different.

I love saving money on oil, and until anyone can present something against specifically using Amsoil at their recommended intervals, you shouldn't say anything. I've personally used Castrol, Mobil1, Royal Purple, and pretty much everything else and they just don't compare.

 

I am also using AMSOIL 0W30 SIGNATURE!!!

The only oil my VQ has ever seen!
