Hmmmm, but they don't recalibrate the tail lights also? Man, I'd look elsewhere for sure!

Enjoy

lol... they left out the 40,000 mile service: Buy new car

Seafoam - not so much for the cleaners but for the fuel stabilizer. I live and work overseas and only get to drive my vehicles every 90 days.

Brought my 14 Ram 1500 to the Nissan dealership for an oil change - I provide the oil and filter and they charge me $15. While checking in with the service rep, it was recommended that I get the 40K service at a cost of $1100. I informed them that my dodge doesn’t have a scheduled service until 100,000. The rep couldn’t come up with an intelligent reply.

I like Chevron's Techron.

The only fuel injector cleaner and fuel system cleaner I have used on previous vehicles that has actually worked is the Chevron fuel injector cleaner,Chevron fuel system cleaner,and Redline fuel system cleaner. Using fuel system cleaner will make your engine have less carbon build up deposits and will benefit your Z. Also Nissan/Infiniti highly recommends only using 91+ octane “top tier” brand gasoline’s like Chevron or Texaco with Techron which is a premium additive in all there vehicles. Instead of going to the Nissan dealership I recommend going to your local auto parts store and purchasing your fuel system cleaner their and put it in your Z yourself. Every oil change I use Chevron fuel injector cleaner in my Z and I never had a fuel related issue with my Z. Whatever you do don’t ever use cheaper generic additive non top tier gasoline’s in your Z.

Consider adding catch cans to the pvc system; this will keep the oil from getting into the combustion chambers (via upper plenum) :ugh2:

I have not use Chevron gas after Sebastian at Specialtyz told me how bad it was after he did a tune for me. He said it was so bad he drained it and added Shell fuel to complete the tune.

Totally Agree. Shell 93 or BP(Amoco) 93 is the only thing I will run.
