Default OCI for synthetic oil?

depends on how you drive. IMHO, 3K interval is overkill for most people, unless you really drive in stop and go traffic all day and use your Z as a tow truck. With a good synthetic oil, and good oil filter (too bad the newer style OEM filter is so small and has less filteration media), my OCI is about 4-5K miles.
