Hi all.
I just completed the second oil change (first was done by dealership). Following this write up made the process very easy. I work on a military base and was able to utilize the auto hobby shop's car lift. $7.50 for an hour was very reasonable. In any event, I went with the Nissan Ester oil, stock filter & magnetic drain plug. I'm just over 7700 miles after 14 months of driving. I just wanted to say thanks for all the great advice and comments. I'll be doing my own oil changes from now on. |

AK, you have converted me as well. Have shopped together all required components, including my first REAL toolset ;-), and will do this probably tomorrow.
Just a question in terms of the magnetic drain plug and the crush washer: 1) When tightening the drain plug (Exedium) using the crush washer (Nissan) - how tight do I need to screw it? Is it 1.5x after initial resistance? Several posters have mentioned things - am a little confused now... 2) Exedium drain plugs come with their own washer - do I discard that, use them both or....? Pic is attached showing Exedium drain plug with washer versus Nissan crush washer. Thanks very much. EDIT: It's all done. Wasn't too hard either. Thanks for the great manual you have created!

This seems like a good deal 3 PureOnes for a $1. Advance Auto Parts have Purolator PureONE Oil Filter on sale for $5. Add 3 to cart for $15 - $5 code BIG5 - $9 rebate = $1 with free store pickup. (from slickdeals) |

Just did the oil change on a 2011 370Z Nismo. Everything is the same except the undercover is larger (includes sides in front of wheel) and has way more clips (18 vs. 3 in original article). Mostly due to a cover not present in the original picture.

Hey guys, I just did my first oil change last night and I found that the plastic cover has a large crack among other problems. Does anyone know the replacement part number for the 2011 Nismo? Also where is a good place to find some extra bolts and clips it seems many have gone missing with what happened to the cover.
