Welcome, I've owned a Z for 12 years (2 cars) never payed any attention to the service thingy in the dash, I do Redline engine oil every 6k or once per year, Redline all other fluids every 12k or 3 years. Nowadays it's the yearly change for me since I work at home now. I drive hard and never had any performance or reliability issues over 170k miles, not a drop of oil burned.

Thanks, @ BMSmith. I've owned a few Zs myself, from 280s to 300. I used Redline exclusively for my Z31. That car hat drove forever until someone wanted it really bad, so I sold it and bought a 96 Z32TT which I still own. I've used Mobil-1 for my Z32, with 4K/6-months oil change. For the Z34, I'll stick with the Nissan oil. I have other vehicles with 10K/1yr oil change intervals, so I don't have any issues with the 7.5K oil change recommendation - it has 5-1/8 quarts, and the fabrication technology is way better than the days of my 280Z - but I'm also leaning on 6K intervals.
