I plan on selling my xterra and getting a 350Z.
The guy planning on buying it, wants to go back to dinosour oil. He does not want to spend the money on Mobil 1 syn. Will it hurt anything to go back to regular 10w30 Castrol oil?

No. Mobil 1 is compatable with conventional (dino) oil. Says it right on the bottle.

Hehehe, you lucky sucka.... if I didn't have a kid I'd be driving a 350 too... but one look behind the drivers seat - and I knew I couldn't do it. (cause theres no room in the 350 at all!!)

Tell the buyer the X only uses 3.5 quarts per change and mobil 1 can go for longer change intervals... it works out to be pretty close to running conventional sometimes... but theres no issues with switching back.
