I dont know what you guys are talking about, but i talked to Nissan service manager today and he said an oil change is $39. He knows the Z is a V6, but he said it makes no difference.
Also i usually spend $50 for an oil change + tire rotation on my other cars. But you don't do tire rotation on a Z (I have no idea why not) but that's even better. what makes you guys think oil change on a Z is over $100. |

for my understanding ester oil is best for cars. not an expert at this but see if some pros can chime in on this. I just know that ester is better than the regular. Not really sure why but probably because it's synthetic stuff and less friction I guess? com'on people chime in on this so I'm not here being clueless passing out unvarified info!

Whether or not you change to synthetic at 5 or 5000 miles, that's your choice. But the last thing I would do is use regular 5w30 included in the $39 oil change at the dealership (unless you're getting a discount off the $100 one). Oil change threads are new and exciting.

If you want to put the wider tires on the front and the narrower ones on the rear, get back to us on how it behaves.

Do you really think all the guys in this forum are wrong about this, with all the experience they bring?

Should have the oil/filter by late this week/early next week. So I'll take the car over either on Friday or Monday afternoon.
