Nissan dictates a very aggressive OCI for the Z for most drivers (3 months/3K). A street driven car with 3K on a good fill will pass a UOA with flying colors. Why waste time, oil, and money doing it earlier?

Don't over think it. The most important thing is that you have a sufficient amount of oil in the engine. Use your favorite oil and check it regularly.
