Red Line oil change

m4a1mustang · 08-07-2009, 08:55 PM

I looked at the bill.

Really, I talked to the service manager over the phone and asked what kind of oil they'd be using. He said they use Nissan's Ester oil in these engines and that's what they'll be using in my car. When I showed up he reassured me in person (without me even asking) that they'd be using the factory Ester oil. When I looked at my car in the service bay the ester oil was there waiting to go in.

my local dealer here says the nissan ester oil is 11.99 a quart...

i went to O'Reillys auto parts and asked about red line they said its not on their authorized venders list, but red lines website says it is...the store manager is researching it to see if he can order it...

Did you pay for this oil change or was it free?
Becuase the paperwork says ester do you believe that must be true becuase it says so on paper?

What odds are greater, Nissan Ester oil making your engine click OR the dude who put the oil in just put the cheap stuff in?

I read all the stories of negligence on here and i am fearfull that even if the paperwork says Nissan Ester it might not be.

I HOPE i have ester oil in my car, i cant prove it, i am going to probably do one more dealer change and then start doing my own with redline oil.

Because the service manager is an honest guy, and I saw and heard enough to believe I was being treated right. They obviously know I know my ****. I just bought a $40k car from them... why are they going to try and screw me over just to save a few bucks?

They go out of their way to tell me that if I decide not to use the dealership for oil service and do it myself to make sure that I use the right oil.

Why do stories pop up here of peoples oil leaking? Do you think the service manager is dishonest when this happens? They were supposed to tighten it.

What if they were supposed to put ester in? its the same situation.

Why is there youtube videos of service tech's stealing from customers cars?

Where ever there is trust/confidence there will allways be deciet/neglagence.

so basicly your confirmation of ester oil is the service manager word becuase he seems trusty.

I sort of think quite possibly you didnt get ester. Why would your engine click with nissan ester in it?

Mine didnt click with cheap crap in it, and it didnt click with ester in it.
Yours clicks with Nissan Ester but not Redline Ester.

The odds in my brain are telling me you didnt get nissan ester in the first place, but i could be wrong.

And is it even screwing you over if the person who changed your oil didnt even care and grabbed whats closest? You never heard a story of neglagence? I am not even implying they was trying to make money off you, just more like neglagance.

I think you are wrong and are being VERY anal. I already said I talked to the service manager and watched the tech. If I'm confident that's what I got, you should be too.
