Oil change question. (synthetic)

So it's time to change the oil for the 2nd time since I bought the Z 2 years ago.

I've only put 3000 miles on it in that time though. Last time I went with Mobil 1, and I probably will again this time. What weight should I go with? I've read that the synthetic weights tend to be a little thinner, and I don't want to hurt the motor, she only has 35k miles on her. I believe I used 10-30 Mobil 1 last time. Is that to thin? Which weight oil is a little thicker?
