Place to get Oil Changes

m4a1mustang

Your garage!

Anywhere, really. Probably a place where you can watch the tech work would be best.

Come out to our Saturday meets in Fairfax!!!

Your dealer is still the best place to have your oil changed...........

The reason I say that is the tech there has been factory trained to work on your Nissan. Outsiders and independents have not been factory trained to all aspects of your car. Now some of you can say what you want about the Dealership, but they still know your car better than anyone.........................

I don't have a place to change it myself, so I go to the dealer. So far so good, knock on wood... ;-)

Hi Lance,

I called the local dealer and they said about 74.00 to do the oil change

is this around what you end up paying at the dealer?

Thanks,
Jay

$85 I think using the Ester Oil they provide. They f'd my car up though last time, so I'm considering just having AAM do it.

will AAM be less/more costly? Also what OIL do they use?

Thanks,

Most techs I've seen working on cars for something simple like an oil change are often not even of drinking age... enthusiasts reading the forums know more about the car before it even hits the lots than these guys do after a year of working on them. That said, it's a freakin' oil change! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to empty oil and refill it... but there are plenty enough idiots out there (young AND old) who forget to tighten the bolt, forget to refill, etc.



Randy, I just suggested P-tuning in Manassas in another thread for a good speed shop. I don't know if they advertise specifically for oil changes, but they obviously have to do it as part of their normal service work, so give 'em a ring and see if they'll do it.

You may be correct. Our local Chevrolet dealer use the area high school students that are in Auto Technology Class (fancy name for Auto Mechanics Class in my day) in the Oil change area under the supervision of an ASME certified Tech. BTW most of these kids have been motor heads since they could walk.
