You got ripped off. It should've cost $91.61.

I'll post a pic of the paperwork in a moment.
Did they break down the cost?
-Price per quart?
-Hourly labor rate & how many hours?

All I can say is this: DIY: Nissan 370Z Oil change (AK370Z way) Pictures inside

I have never changed the oil in any of my vehicles until I purchased my 370. This thread showed me everything I need to know. Never looked back since. It usually cost me around $30 to do it myself for fully synthetic if not cheaper.

True dat. The most expensice Dino Oil on the planet.

I buy my synthetic (Pennzoil Ultra) at Wal Mart in the huge jugs and then if someone else is changing my oil it's sitting there on the floor of the vehicle for them.
