Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - 15,000 Miles/12 months Scheduled Maintenance, what did you do?

I checked with the dealer and they wanted $260 for the 15k/12 month
scheduled maintenance for the 370Z (see reference from manual p.19 below).

Looks like the dealership is charging $170 for the checks that are
beyond the ester oil change ($260 - 90 ester oil change = $170)!
Note that all of the items with a number to the right and 4WD/AWD items
don't apply to the 370 (except the 2, Differential oil).

What have you guys done for you 15k maintenance? Did you shell out the $
for the dealer? I live in an apartment and there is no room for do-it-yourself,
plus I'd like to have someone else do scheduled maintenance so that I have
the receipts in case I need them for any warranty claims
