I did my first oil change after break in for the aforementioned reason of getting shaving sand little bits form the break-in period out. It's probably not necessary, but I am taking extra good care of the Z. After that, I am going by the Nissan manual recommendations. I did the first change with the Nissan ester oil and switched to a synthetic after that. you can read neverending threads on which synthetic to use, but almost everyone does recommend going synthetic.

A word of advice, though, do not have the dealer do your oil change unless they'll do just the labor for cheap if you bring your own oil. If it's a free first oil change or seems very inexpensive then they're not giving you the esther oil that Nissan recommends (if you're not going full synthetic, that is).
