If you read the TSB it goes off of dipstic level... they don't drain and measure the oil. Based upon that it shouldn't matter who does the changes...
Also to Neo's point... you can't void a warranty by doing your own changes as long as your changes don't cause the damage. This is a know issue and I have all records so there is no reason to suspect I caused any damage.
I agree 100% with Augustus that they should cover the cost of the oil change but the service manager scoffed at me when I suggested it. I actually thought about your counter point that they should cover it and I will pay it if the car passes the test.
Again I saw nothing in the TSB that suggested Nissan had to do anything with the oil other than make sure it came up to the top of the dipstic before the test. They are just coming up with excuses to earn revenue off this issue.
