I went to the Nissan dealer and talked to the service manager yesterday. He said an oil change on a Z costs $39. No need to use ester or synthetic oil. Its way cheaper than changing the oil yourself.

I would not take a Z to pepboys to local gas station for an oil change. A cheap car, yes, but not a Z.
There is never a need for synthetic, although it is supposed to be better for your car and definitely does allow more driving between changes. If you stricktly adhere to the 3k rule then conventional oil will do just fine. The way I look at it though is if the oil is double the price, but you're changing it half as often, you aren't just breaking even, you're saving the price of a filter per 6k miles.
