I use to run Nissans ester oil but now I'm running Mobil 1 0w40 and I won't run anything else(maybe castrol 0w30 if I can't find M1 0w40)

Redline is good oil, but its expensive, M1 0w40 has all the same ratings as redline does and its cheaper.
Dino oil will protect as good as any synthetic but you just have to change it more often. How do I know? Millions and millions around the world run dino oil. If there was an issue with dino, it would be all over the internet. I do run synthetic myself btw and change it once a year regardless of mileage or age of the oil which is a deception if you think it goes bad after 6 months..

Millions of cars are not all the same! Russia still makes the same car made in the 60's. and no it doesn't protect as we'll or NASCAR and everyone else would run it. What do they care right? They rebuild the motor every race any how. Because it needs the protection for the few hours it runs. I'd run dino in a car that doesn't see redline. A Z is not that car!

A UOA has a lot of good info in it regarding your motors wear and overall health no matter what your oil change interval is.

You have a 2013 Z. You shouldn't be anywhere near 100k miles.

I don't understand. So should I use the worst oil known to man till I get to 100k? Or should I use a good oil while on my way to 100k to make sure I make it and exceed over 100k? Just because you aren't close doesn't mean you relax on the way. Childhood obesity is on the greatest rise ever. They're fat, lazy, McDonalds eating turds. Should we not worry about them because a heart attack is 35 years off?

FYI The most important miles are the first on a motor. They don't regenerate and heal like our bodies.

I was just simply stating that you shouldn't be anywhere near 100k miles. Thought I read you were closer to that. If you are anywhere close to that there's something really wrong. Judging by every response you're just looking to argue. I'll bow out of this.
