Thanks,

Any oil you want. Or we could get Mobil, Redline, Eneos, even Motul. Labor is usually around $40 and you're in and out in 45 minutes.

Criswell Nissan charged me somewhere around $12 in labor. i provided the oil and the filter.

jayl · 12-08-2010, 11:48 AM

which OIL / Filter did you get?

is it suggested to keep using the same oil all the time?

Thanks,

I'm been doing Redline 5w30 and a K&N filter. They don't seem to care.

jayl · 12-09-2010, 01:41 PM

cool, is there a local shop you get your OIL from?

spinhead · 12-09-2010, 03:31 PM

Amazon. I buy 12 quart packs so it's a bit cheaper.

jayl · 12-09-2010, 09:10 PM

thanks, is 5 and 1/8 quarts the right amount? I am trying to figure out if I should get 6 quarts or 5...

Thanks,
Jay

$20 sounds cheap to me. $12 sounds like someone gave somebody a reach-around. ;-)

$20 is nothing, especially in the dealer!
