Yeah, I paid within a few cents of that the first change that I had. Now I use Mobil 1 and take it to them. With some of the deals and rewards points that I've gotten at Autozone, a 5liter jug ends up around $25.

Yup, that's about what I'm paying for Pennzoil Ultra at Wal Mart.

^^lucky

My first oil change with nissan was $115, never went back since, doing it yourself saves time, money, and gives you satisfaction in knowing the job wasn't half-assed and over priced.

i just call them up, make an appointment then just drive down, they take care of it, 30 min to hour later, im on the road.

Dealership doing it for Free, saves money and time (as i will check out the other Z's)

Yeah you can't beat free, but for those of us who weren't fortunate enough to get the free oil change for life, doing it yourself is the next best thing.

Every time i go its differnet. One time it was free, one time it was 90 something like yours, one time it was 14 and then this last time it was free again.

I usually take it to one of two dealerships depending on what state im in.

I remember the sales managers face when he told me $110 for the oil change, a great big smile.

Then I informed him I am on the Gold maintenance plan and it is free.

The speed at which his face changed, to shock, still sticks in my memory.
