Car is broken-in.

You won't need to change a good synthetic every 3000 miles. 5K is OK, some push it further but the VQ37 runs hot and is hard on oil. Stick with the owner's manual recommendation of 5W-30 oil. Forget the overpriced Nissan Ester Oil.
I have been pleased with Redline Oil, delivered to your door for about $10 per quart from Amazon.com and with no tax (ha ha F.U. Jerry Brown) and use a Mobil 1 # 110 size filter. Change it yourself. Crawl under your car, skin some knuckles, burn yourself with hot oil and you will bond with your new car in an time honored tradition.
