daniell Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Nissan recommends mineral oil, but i would personally prefer synthetic oil. Good brand like Mobil 1, valvoline etc. Double the price but keeps engine very happy at least in this hot country. Regarding hood being hot, do not baby your 350Z; its pretty normal as hood has too much heat and no much space to dissipate so it stay warmer than other part of car while parked. If temp gauge is normal then don't bother much. Keep an eye on temp gauge every now and then in any car you drive. Thats the best rule of thumb.
