You're supposed to use synthetic oils with an aluminum block.

Read the FAQ in the Tech section for exchange part info, including oil filters.

As far as what type of oil/filter...

Oil - Mobil 1, Royal Purple, MOTUL
Filter - Bosch, K&N, OEM Nissan lollercopter!

i used mobil non synth drive clean 5000 for my first 100 miles or so since install... then changed it out with the same oil again but have put about 400 miles total on the car with it. seems pretty happy, gonna switch to AMSOil soon though just because I don't want the dino oil getting coked up around the turbo shaft bearings. Synthetic has a muuch higher heat tolerance.

For a filter I use Mobil 1 M1-103 or M1-110 (little taller) filters. They are the new 'extended performance' style and are supposedly better than K&N. K&N is 1337 tho cuz they have a nut molded into the top of the filter so you can get it undone easily. Filter changing on an SR is a BITCH without that or a filter relocation kit.
