I recently posted a problem with a blinking airbag light and a light that
looks like it might be from the headlight since there is an image of a light
when I press on the brake but it goes out after I release it. Now what I
would like to know most foreign cars recomment a 5W-30 oil. The Z I just
bought has 105,000 miles and I would like a suggestion on what to use. On
my Avalon, I use Castrol or Penzoil 5W-30. Are these good oils to use for
this car. I have already read about use of the Nissan air filter and oil
filter so a trip to my Nissan dealer will be in short order. Thaks.

I have a 1970 240Z with over 400,000 on it in restored condition. I have rebuilt
the engine
a couple of times. I have always used Castrol until I went to Full Synthetic.
Castrol has worked
fine.

Also, I have been using after market oil and air filters since I have owned the
car. The Dealer always
wants too much "blood" for parts so I try and find alternative sources. I just
switched my Air Filters to
K&N which makes high performance and OEM Replacement Filters. Take a look at
www.knfilters.com
and see if they have a match for your car. They cost more but they are not paper
so once installed you
don't have to replace them. Great on land fills. Plus they suck more atmosphere
that will help your
performance and mileage even for regular street use.
