Message	15w50 is excellent, but better for Zs that are garaged or parked inside and generally have warmer "cold-start" temps. If you park your Z outside or your Z sees colder cold-starts, then going with a 5w50 would be better. I'm also investigating M1 5w40 Turbo Diesel Truck, as it has a very high level of ZDDP which our engines love.
