Z issue
 
When you took your Z to the dealer service department; what was the dianogsis code tripped?

By the way, Redline oil is ester based oil.

weird problem
 
Can you drive faster than 30 mph? If not, your Z gone into limp mode. If so, it may be a defective crank position sensor. Its an easy repair.

They used different oil too. I dont know what to do any ideas?
That's the craziest diagnosis in the history of the automobile!

How did the rental question work out since you went there and asked them yesterday?

Since Redline meets the requires for oil outlined in the manual, then I guess it is Nissan's issue, not yours.
