still 750$ parts and labor.
it's like cutting your own hair. yeah it's free and the $20 clippers will last a long time, but it still costs $20 each time you pay someone else to do it.

You didn't mention how Nissan would have a TON of buying pressure to get the oil cooler parts for next to nothing (compared to us @ retail), plus having some guy on the assembly line installing it at his regular hourly rate vs what we would pay for someone else to do it...plus the oil is next to nothing at Nissan's "cost".
End result, if we pay $500 for an oil cooler installed, it'd MAYBE cost Nissan $200. Probably more like $100.
