oil change

TreeSemdyZee · 09-08-2010, 06:07 PM

I would change it more often and the ester oil is NOT required by Nissan. If they tell you that, they're lying.

If you want to use something with ester in it, use Mobil 1. It's a whole lot cheaper than the over-priced snake oil that they're selling. The dealer's price of $120 is robbery. I did mine once and paid $92.

If you do want to use the Nissan oil, buy it online. Z1 Motorsports (site sponsor) has a kit for $59.99. Oil, filter and crush washer. You have to add shipping also. Cheaper if you buy multiples because the shipping gets cheaper per kit.

Buy the kit and take it to the dealership. You're not obligated to buy the parts from them. I do it all of the time.
My dealer charges about 8 bucks labor.

Doing it your self and keeping record of it is the same as the dealer keeping record of it. Dont let the dealer think that you need to use there oil or got it changed by them to keep your warranty its all B.S.
