There is a sticky section on this topic- Happy New Year to you too.

Engine Oil:

Brand: Mobil 1 5W-30, Mobil 1 5W-30 EP*, Mobil 1 5W-30 HM**, Mobil 1 5W-30 ESP***

Amount: 5-6 quarts, get 6 to be safe – you will always be able to use it for next change, top up.

Replace: Mobil 1 is good for up to 15,000miles/24,000kms but i would do it every 6-9000miles/10-15,000kms

*EP = Extended Performance (better protection, longer service interval than standard)

**HM = High Mileage Vehicle (for cars with engine 75,000miles/120,000km or more)

***ESP=Emission System Protection (for Euro cars, 2008+ with strict cats regulation)

Oil filter:

Brand: Nissan OEM or Mobil EP M1-108

Replace: Same time as oil

If you can't get any of that stuff locally, go into Autobarn and use what they recommend for a 350Z. Also i just use Ryco oil filters they are tiny but do the job until the next change is needed.

Ryco specify the Z445 for this engine, but I have heard of a few people using a Z547 which is about 20mm taller than the 445. Not sure if there is really any benefit, or just some people like to use a physically larger filter.

Yeah last oil change i had a pissy little Ryco one and my dad thought was funny how small it was.

I think the k&n part number is p-1008?

Tiny filter but seems to be really effective. It's not about size, it's all about how you use it. At least, that's what I tell the mrs.

supercheap should stock the ryco filters at least, not sure about the other brands.

did mine a few days ago

z445 (alot of brands use this number or can be easily cross referenced from it)

Same as 350z, s14/15 and R34 from memory
