Of course it's not the oil!!! Armensti either misunderstood the mechanic's explanation or the mechanic is a complete idiot.

Question Z issue
When you took your Z to the dealer service department; what was the dianogsis code tripped?

By the way, Redline oil is ester based oil.

Lightbulb weird problem
Can you drive faster than 30 mph? If not, your Z gone into limp mode. If so, it may be a defective crank position sensor. Its an easy repair.
