Why check the motor oil level in my Nissan 350Z?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your 350Z’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

Can I change my Nissan 350Z oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.

Why is my Nissan exhaust smoke gray or blue?

Nissan recommends changing your 2009 350Z’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Nissan 350Z.
