finally getting the oil change done tomorrow! will share my experience at the dealer..

chevy chase nissan had to reschedule my appt to today, David the service manager there said they would not charge me since I had my own oil + filter since they to to change the time.
I was happy with my experience there. He did say that it would be better to use a Nissan filter vs K&N next time since the Nissan one sites flush (?).

chevy chase nissan, thats right up the road from me, off wisconsin ave right?

im guessing you or the nissan guy meant that the nissan filter sits flushly in the air box ie. its exactly the right size that theres no gaps around it so no particles can squeeze by. Just my guess.

Amazon has the case of Redline 5w30 listed twice on their site. One listing is $119.40 and this link has it for $110.44. I ordered a case yesterday, plus it comes directly from Amazon so I got free shipping with my Amazon prime account. Note, it says a quart, but its a case of 12 quarts. On my account, it says 'Red Line 5W30 Synthetic Oil - 1 Quart, Pack of 12'. That's the best deal I could find on this oil after looking all over.

Amazon.com: Red Line 5W30 Synthetic Oil - 1 Quart: Automotive

yep thats exactly what I've been doing. Brick and mortar stores don't seem to carry red line oil near me.

JRP on Dorsey road near BWI has it. I always go and hit them up for my Redline.

yup that one.

is their price same / better (?) than online?

correct.

I take it lots on ppl on here use k&N filters so I wont worry. I know AK's post on DIY oil change he has used that filter.

Pretty much the same...

Took it back to Rosenthal for an oil change last week and got yet another free one! :driving:

My odometer just reached 1200 miles. I'm thinking of getting redline oil and bring it to Criswell Nissan when it's time to change my oil. $12~$20 is not that bad for labor.

Should be good. Do you live in germantown?

I know this thread is like 5 months old, but I been searching around looking for a good reputable place to bring my own oil and filter and get my oil changed in the Alexandria/Landmark/Kingstowne area for just labor.

I seen a bunch of people on here recommend Chantilly, but thats just too far for me for a simple change. I live in a highrise apt, so changing myself isn't happening.

Anybody here go to a good place?
