If you look the z has a total oil capacity of 2.9 L which is good and its not a real high performance engine. The main thing i would recomend is keeping the air filter clean so no dirt can enter the engine as this is the only place dirt can enter, or when checking the oil, clean round the filler first.

23000kms between oil changes?????
That's just wrong. I know fully synth oil has increased service intervals but not that long. At least one oil change on the way if you have any mechanical sympathy at all. For the sake of 3 litres.
