Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Oil Assistance Needed - Couldn't Find In Search Bar

Again, I searched for oil change, oil questions, etc. and couldn't find any, so I thought I'd start one here.

So, I'm at 17K miles on my 09' 370Z and the maintenance oil light just went on. I've never changed the oil, since I bought mine used. My friend told me I had to take it to the dealer and pay the $84.95 they want to charge for Ester Oil. However, a long time mechanic said he'd charge $25-$30 and I could put 5 W20 in it if I wanted to as long as it's before the first 30K miles.

Since you all are much more knowledgeable than I, what say you?
