It appears that this fits the "you're screwed if you do, and screwed if you don't" policy.

From my past experience and reading on this site and others, most dealers will not hold it against you if you do you own oil changes or other minor maintenance. There are some dealers that might give you a hard time about it, but you don't have to give them your business. It would be wise to keep receipts.
It not really a SIYDSIYD situation, you just have to be careful who you do business with - just like having anything else you own serviced. If you don't like the way one Nissan dealer is treating you, go find another - your warranty is with Nissan, not a specific dealer. I no longer use the dealer I bought my Z from.
