It is not necessary to remove any more the 4 bolts to gain access that allows oil draining and install of new oil filter.

All new Z owners get their first oil change for free or is that something only a few dealerships offer? No one mentioned that to me when I bought my car

All part of the deal you make when you purchase your car. Some people get a Nissan hat, others got a free oil change. I got a free hand shake.

Im sure they draind the brake fuild and all but still... cmon man. But yeah the only reason i dont change my oil myself like AK and a lot of people is cause i happen to get a free year of changes.

Just made an appointment for my first oil change. They quoted me $89.00 parts + labor. I also bought my Z from a dealer far away from home and don't want to travel that far for my free oil change....lol.

when the dealer told me almost $100 for a change I went and bought 6 quarts of RP, ramps, drain pan, slider to get under the car, and an oil filter...total cost = $95. Next oil change will cost me about $40 for better oil than the dealer gives me anyways.

World Car Nissan, San Antonio, where I bought my car gave me the first change for free.

I signed up for the maintenance program. It covers all oil changes for the next 4 years...... Figured I'd sign up and wrap it into the loan so I could get my oil changes slightly cheaper than individual oil changes at the dealer. Also, I don't know how to save money, so I can still get my oil changed my the "mechanics" with just $2 in my bank.

Bummer is that I would have liked to change the oil every 3000 miles but my program is set up for 7500 miles. I bought the car with 16,200 miles and I've got 21,000 on it now. So, I'll get it done soon.

Whoa -- you guys were right! Although no one mentioend this (that I recall) during the deal, the dealership will do the 1st oil change for free!

Just curious, but do they charge you some nominal amount if you insist on the Ester oil?

I'm also going have them set my auto headlight timer to 0, anything else I should tell them to do while I'm there?

Reset my flux capacitor? Grease and reload the twin gatling guns? What?

Sup guys, just got my first oil done at the local Nissan dealership here in Hayward, Ca. In the invoice it says synthetic oil change. When I called the dealershp initially, they told me they only use ester based oil only on the 370Z. So I figure the Nissan ester based oil has synthetic correct?

From what I understand that is presently unknown. Given the presence of esters, it is presumably at least a synthetic blend.

Whoever I set the apointment with lied to me about the free oil change

But... I did get 10% off. Oh well...
