The BEST "Z" dealership in the Ottawa area

Below is from the "Service and Maintenance Guide"

As a condition of your vehicle’s warranty, you are responsible for properly maintaining your vehicle. In maintaining your vehicle, you should follow either Schedule 1 or Schedule 2 as listed below. Use these guidelines to determine which maintenance schedule to use.

SCHEDULE 1 (more severe operating conditions), every 3,750 miles or 3 months, whichever comes first

SCHEDULE 2 (less severe operating conditions), every 7,500 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first

I've chosen every 3,750 miles (6k kms) and have ignored every 3 months (refer to earlier post about "opening wallet").

Well that's 2 votes for Huntclub, hopefully they will rectify my 2 problems which are a "splash guard" install (1 of the 4 does not fit well), and a replacement passenger door window seal install (new part either doesn't fit well or a improper install). My present dealership re-ordered the parts a 2nd time and stated the new ones didn't fit any better than the 1st replacements and put those back on. I expect the dealership to resolve these issues and I feel are not unreasonable requests....I paid for the genuine accessory and the bumper to bumper warranty. It also looks like Huntclub has a 'bodyshop" as these parts should be installed by a "body-man" and not a mechanic !!!

There's a few other things that happened last summer at my dealership with the Service Manager and my mechanic, but the two above problems and lack of resolution were the "last straw". (see my post on Most Stupid Thing Heard From a Nissan Dealer)

Thanks again for everyone's candor, advice, thoughts, and most of all your time taken in responding.

All they are saying is that if you neglect service on your car, and that neglect causes something to break, they will not warranty it. Sch 1 and Sch 2 are just basic outlines of when they recommend service to make it easier for the average Nissan owner. You can get service at a dealership, Mr Lube or in your own driveway; as long as you can prove the service was done (receipts) you won't have a problem.

My advice is to get a good synthetic, motul or redline, perform a change after 5-6K and send a sample to Blackstone. I just did this and they will tell you how much longer you could have run or if you should have changed sooner.

I like to advocate for people doing their own maintenance because if you take your time you will know it is done right, uses the best parts/fluids and you can get to know your car.
