Also i usually spend $50 for an oil change + tire rotation on my other cars. But you don't do tire rotation on a Z (I have no idea why not) but that's even better.

what makes you guys think oil change on a Z is over $100.

The guy you talk to is a dumb a$$, he doesnt know that the new Z requires a better oil. At least stick to a synthetic if you dont use the ester oil. My salesman didnt know that it was more when I bought my Z and he gave me a quote of $39 for my first change and when I brought it in the service rep had to talk to the sales people who then had to compensate for the extra $$$ to honor my quote, which was in writing.

Do you really think all the guys in this forum are wrong about this, with all the experience they bring?

so for ester oil, how often do you change the oil? do nissan dealers carry that or it has to be special order online?

I said ALL they guys not SOME. There is a sh!t load of knowledge here from all the members you need to read, and do your own DD then make your decision. And if you read all the threads on this not just this one and you still dont know anything about the oil for our car, I dont know??????
