Hey 350Z guys...

Gonna agree with 93dx considering it’s under warranty. Should something go wrong they can claim you didn’t use THEIR specified oil and such, thus causing a huge problem.

^ Yeah that does matter for warrenty stuff, although if you can find oil that is whatever the Nissan rated spec then it would be fine. Go have a look at Bobistheoilguy.com, those forums are very helpful I’m sure you find it interesting being an engineer and such too.

However a lot of manufacters are doing 5-10k oil service intervals these days which is just plain stupid. It’s been proven with oil analysis that this isn’t the greatest idea.

I’m glad I changed the tranny oil. When I lifted the drain pan out from under the truck into the sunlight I noticed a lovely metallic shimmer. :ohnoes:

Not surprising, depending on the engine it can happen after the first oil change too. It’s just things breaking in, I would only be worried if you go to change engine/tranny fluids a second time and you get the same thing.
