Message	Hi and welcome to tt.net. Oil has changed from when our Zs came out in the 90s... less zddp/anti wear for emission certification if I remember correctly. If you decide to go with factory recommended weight I’d suggest Mobil One “high mileage” 10w-30, or if you want a higher weight you could also run their 15w50. Both of them are closer to original formulations from back in the day. I wanted a higher weight with the Arizona heat so I switched to 20w-50. Royal Purple is my personal preference and their HPS line also has higher levels of zddp/anti wear. Good luck!
