If you got the time. Change it yourself. Not hard at all.

this is the only thing i've ever let the dealership touch on my car.

well the auto fluid change and the recall on the steering lock. kinda had to allow that one.

I’m in south Florida I found a place that advertises Oil and filter, PS fluid, break fluid and coolant for $150, I gave them the oil. I have a friend with a garage so I used the lift and got the transmission and rear end, it wasn’t a big deal.

Thanks for all the information so far guys.

Now let me ask you about oil change intervals. In the past I’ve always had a lackadaisical attitude about oil change intervals. I had a 2000 GMC Sierra before this car and I used to change the non-synthetic oil in it like every 8-10k miles. Yeah you read that right. Never had any issues out of it and I drove it to about 180k miles before I totalled it.

Now obviously I’m not going to be quite so careless with my Z. But I also believe the synthetic oil in it is better than the recommended 4k miles by Nissan. Now I could be completely wrong in thinking that. So what do you guys think, should I change it right around 4k, or can it be stretched to 5 maybe 6k? Does anyone recommend changing their oil in 3 months even before the 4k miles is up? Thanks.

Seriously. There is no more discussion. Send in a sample of your oil and they will tell you everything you need to know for $25.
