Wow I can actually keep up with a conversation on here this week, sweet!

Pretty sure if the oil change was free for me as well I wouldn't be doing it myself either.

you fellas act like its a lot of work.. lol

Well it was more about saving money than the difficulty. Though it is more of a hassle if you have to use someone else's garage to do the work every time.

You need to pick up some jack stands and a hydraulic jack, then you're all set. This way you can learn all about your Z, hands on.

I'd rather not work on my car in the street....

That's a good point. But I don't look at the potential disaster, I look at getting the job done.

They only put the Ester in if you specifically tell them you want it and they will of course charge you extra for it. I usually take the ester oil in and give it to them so I don't have to worry about them not having any in stock. I made the mistake of not doing that once and they put some different Penzoil in it. I made them drain it all out and put in the Ester.

Penzoil??? wtf..
