Everyone with oil temp issues

mannyz

I guess Im gona save money for that, cause the last thing I want is a new melted engine lol. But at the same time Im gona call Nissan again, and maybe talk to the dealer. I understand Nissan want us to protect our investment by buying their Oil but then, bring down the price dammit

Careful complaining to Nissan I have done enough for all of us and they just don't really care. After you talk to them your vin will be flagged in there database. I am sure my name has a big red flag and will be screwed when a warranty claim comes about. But if you decide to continue keep us informed with your success.

By the way for those concerned I have not heard from consumer reports or the states attorney generals office with the complaints that I have filed against Nissan. I filed the claim for misrepresentation of product sold not for the oil temp issue as many have pointed out limp mode is not a huge issue when granny shifting which is Nissan's definition of normal driving conditions.

What exactly is your "misrepresentation" point as the basis of the complaint?

Wally

Test cars that are provided to reviewers, car and driver, motor trend etc. had oil coolers provided to improve performance for testing reasons. Therefore the reviews are not accurate. If the oil temperature issues would have been presented I would have purchased another vehicle. I was also very honest with the dealership that I do participate in DE events and there response was that there would be no issues in regards to performance.

I read some post on another Z board where a guy was only charged $59.95 for the Nissan Ester oil change. The next lowest price I read was $79.95 and then another for $99.99. After that the majority of folks were reporting
$120+ for teh oil change.

I haven't yet had to pay for mine as my first oil change was free. They put SYNTH in first despite my asking for their Ester oil. The service manager came into the waiting area and said his technician made a mistake. He had the technician drain the new SYNTH out and refill with teh Ester oil I asked for when I came in for service.

I thought it was interesting that the service manageer didn't try at all to persuade me that the SYNTH the tech wrongly put in was alright and sufficient. He actually was adamant about ordering the drain and refill with the Ester oil. I am interpreting this as a possible indication that the Ester oil is not as expensive as they make it out to be since he didn't seem to care about wasting the SYNTH.

It will be interesting to see what I get charged when I go in for my next oil change. May be awhile however before I find out since my car is a garage queen.
