I don't drive hard or track/race the car.

You can go 8,000 or more. I just did 8000 on Mobile 1, no track time but fun spirited driving and its a daily driver as well. UOA via Blackstone Labs said I could go to 9000 easy. Synthetic oil is strong. No need to have wasted oil or down time with 3-5,000mile changes for non heavy track use type driving.
In Germany the 370Z oil interval is 15000km or 1 year. They use Castrol 5-30 synthetic here.
The US public has a lot to learn. The crap oil change centers keep filling people's heads with lies, ie Jiffy lube etc.
My VW is on a 30,000km change interval here. THe VW dealer does NOT have a yard full of blown engines either.
