Easier to head to Nissan, get a shuttle ride to the mall, and be done with it. But I agree..$90 is a bummer.
*Edited to say: Hmm..now that I think about this...if you add in the $ spent at the mall while waiting, it's no longer "really" a $90 oil change, it's even worse for my poor hubby..lol...

The best thing to do is buy the oil and filter yourself and then find a good place that does the labor for you. I bought the royal purple and KN filter on sale for $40 and Nissan charged 12.50 for the labor. If I had bought the oil from them, even non ester oil, the guy said it was way more than if you buy it yourself. I did Mobil 1 before and everything cost $60 all said and done.
Side note: Did I read somewhere that royal purple has ester in it too?
