I think manual says around 100K miles. It is not expensive at all to replace.

well the dealership around here say they just use pennzoil plat synthetic (there is no nissan brand one) so if they use it then it must be decent for a dd

At 50k, I'd also check the belts, coolant, and possibly the battery.

In the VQ oil analysis thread Penzoil Platinum is one of the better performing oils, I wouldnt worry about it.
