I also love how you tell him oil analysis is worthless I've never had one done in 41 years of car ownership. Millions more like me. Oil analysis has it's place - in industry, not so much for common folk, your post and advice falls in that category.

Hard earned money??? its 50 bucks you cant even take someone out to eat for that! Glad you have money to burn. I'd rather be sensible with mine and save it for mods, wife's birthday, etc.
There are two maintenance schedules for North American vehicles. From the 2010 Z service manual (also in OM):

"Follow Periodic Maintenance Schedule 2 if none of driving conditions shown in Schedule 1 apply to the driving habits."

Now, go read the conditions in schedule 1. Alot of Z owners do not fall under schedule 1 but there is so much internet hype on oil that people are changing their oil at 3750 miles when there is no need.
