Just bought a 2004 g35 coupe and love it! It has 59,000 miles on it and I just bought it. My question is..... If it has been running on conventional its whole life, is it bad to switch to a performance synthetic like royal purple???

Any advice would be awesome

sorry for my newbieness ha

I'm surprised it even has conventional in it to begin with...

I assumed everyone who owns one of these bucket o'bolts runs synthetic...

I guess that's just me though...

Yep I love RP and so does the G!

I use a Mobil 1 Filter as they are about the best you can buy!

as long as you use a premium oil, you'll be ok.
