That oil is very good either.

Just a reminder:

Do not forget your rear diff oil, I changer it last week after driving 10k, it is in very bad condition and obviously the compaince do not change it as they should done.

Frank what oil did you use for the diff? Also how often should we change the auto trans fluid as the manual says that for normal driving it doesn't need to be changed!

Hi john:

Sorry I can not remember the name, I told my machnic to used the 350Z's diff oil, I believe it should be OK.

The reason I change trans oil is I do not trust the compliance people as they always put rubbish in the car, as I know, Engine, trans, diff, break oil etc.

So I think, spend $80 to get nissan matic J ATF transmission fluid to make sure everything is under control.

Another 50K to 60K to change again.

Nice find, great read.

Very interesting to find Motul is not really that good (based on the data in the thread).

I say this because I was speaking to a brakes place which does a fair few race cars, and they said that people are turning away from Motul for both engine and brake fluid in droves cause they really don't like the oil, and I know Motul is a favourite in these forums.

I've used Mobil 1 for years and based on the above will continue to do so.
