However, regardless of oil, I have (tentatively) concluded based on several different 370's UOA's that the optimal interval is about 4K for mixed city highway driving (not surprisingly, this is close to Nissan's recommendation too).
3750 for hard use per the manual?? Your UOA from Blackstone said you should go 6000miles next time.

Porsche using Mobil 1 here in Germany recommends 12000km/7500miles for an oil change on a Twin Turbo. That car makes much more heat and here can be driven fast/hard depending on the owner. Id stick with the 6000mi recommendation from your post on the oil nerds thread.

I will be changing Mobil-1 5/30 again this summer here and getting my first UOA and will post it. Beyond that its a minimum of 5000miles for me with synthetic, if not more. The oils just are much better now. No need to waste money at all. Or more time changing it/visiting the dealer.
