$35 doesn't sound like they used Nissan Ester Oi. That stuff is $10-12 a quart alone. Most dealerships are charging between $80 and $130 for the Z's oil change.

I'm not sure it's necessary to use at least the an Ester-based oil, but I know it's at least highly recommended.

Besides the oil change, the other stuff in the 3750 check-up is just fluid checks, IIRC from reading the service manual.
