Bottom line, it all depends on how you drive but it seems like 3000 mile is the magic number for 370z

5000 miles can be fine even if you don't drive gently. I drive about a 70%/30% mix of freeway/street use, normally in 70F-90F, in mostly free flowing traffic (not stop-and-go). My Z is a DD and I drive the car normally, with some now-and-then "spirited" driving. A 5K miles OCI with a premium full synthetic (usually M1 or Pennzoil Ultra/Platinum) is fine for this type of driving condition (which isn't what I'd call "gentle").
Do you own stock in Jiffy Lube?
