Am I Being Unrealistic?

If I was that paranoid, I would just leave the dealership and go to another one right way. Rather not let them work on the car and have to keep

"Well.....I guess the people have spoken. I'll be going back to NY now" (a little Seinfeld humor there...couldn't help myself). So far the majority of you say I'm being unrealistic, a couple of you are as OCD as I am, and one guy who has no sympathy calls me an @ss. I'm not feeling the love my brothers! So here's my delimma, as Ken can probably figure out, no way am I changing my own oil let alone do any self service on it so where do I go?

Are you afraid that if they adjust your seat, you'll never be able to have it back at the position and you'll be driving stick like a rookie? Lol

Don't be silly Ken...it was in the '60s that I put the 8 Track in my '55 Chevy. It was in the '50s when I needed to replace the running boards on my '40 Nash. Man that car ran great! Ahhhhh, the good ole days!

When you go to Nissan you could always ask for the GTR mechanic to do all your changes and do it on the GTR lift as well which accomodates for a lower car....

At least this way you are getting someone that has to deal with people that own 100K dollar Nissans....

Otherwise jack the car up, hit the drain bolt change the oil filter put drain bolt back in put recommended oil type and amount in put cap on lower car down and start her up
--- Thats the cliff note version with no commas and extreme fragments in the sentence. haha

Thanks.... I guess

I had to throw in how easy it really is to change your own oil and rattling it off was the only way that seemed appropriate.


Hope all works out for you John, i know most of the GTR mechanics i have met wont be a 400 pound man smoking a cigarette... yikes
