Search on oil, you'll get about a million hits (and nearly as many recommendations).

There is a great deal of info on this on My350z.com as well -- check out absolute's VQ Oil Analysis Thread.

I really like German Castrol 0w-30 myself.

That's a great deal, DIY for less than $25....Wow! Mobil 1 is great stuff but
I have moved on to Red Line synthetic 10W/30 because I live in a warm
climate area, and always buy K&N filters on line to save some $!
