Re: What kind of OIL?
Mobile 1, 10W30. Its more expensive, but 4G63's are picky so i dont mind the extra coin.

Re: What kind of OIL?
I use Mobile One too, 10w30. For a filter get the Napa ones. They're made by Wix and are good quality.

Re: What kind of OIL?
Mike's DSM is also running 10w-30 Mobile 1. I made a thread on this like last week (I think its still on the first page of the Performance subforum) and I got recommended Castrol GTX, Mobil 1, Royal Purple, and Amsoil. I may shell out $6 a quart for Royal Purple or Amsoil, but otherwise I will be going with Mobil 1, which is around $4 a quart here.

Re: What kind of OIL?
my 300zx didn't like anything but Royal Purple, 10w30 with a k and n oil filter. Even though its 6 bucks a quart I think its worth it. example, before my 300zx I had a 96 Nissan sentra, I put royal purple in for the first oil change. It ran smooth not one problem. my next oil change I was running short on oil so I put in castrol, my gas mileage went down, it felt sluggish, and the engine started getting really load, so I put royal again and all the problems went away.

Re: What kind of OIL?
