2013 Infiniti G37 xS — question: Do shorter oil intervals actually make sense for my use?

Most of my driving is short trips with a lot of idling, but the factory interval is pretty long. I'd rather not waste oil, but I also plan to keep the car past 150k. How would you set an interval based on use instead of just mileage? If I fix it I'll come back and update the thread.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2013 Infiniti G37 in Connecticut, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. I'd do that before spending real money. On “question: do shorter oil intervals actually make,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

Useful. I'll report back after I verify that on my 2013 Infiniti G37. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2013 Infiniti G37 owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. I'd do that before spending real money. Parts cannon is a personality type I try to avoid. I'd sleep better after that step, even if it finds nothing. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2013 Infiniti G37, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. Then you'll know the next fork. Learned this the expensive way on a previous car. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.
