I think JARblue addressed that.
Yes, Nissan's recommendations are good enough for most DDs and the people that drive them. But many of us who have maintained equipment for a living know that ofttimes going a little above what the manufacturer calls for can greatly extend equipment life and contribute to the overall efficiency of the system. Especially with equipment that tends to get pushed hard.

I guess that all depends on one's definition of "unnecessary". I think the little bit of extra I spend on changing more frequently than recommended is money well-spent in the long run. YMMV.
FWIW: I think the 3750 oil change interval that Nissan recommends is on the conservative side and, for many drivers, could be extended to 5-6k with no problems. But, once again, that's just my opinion.
