fumoto valves drain too slow... :yawn: fall asleep under car wake up 10hrs later :ugh:

This is very true! It always takes forever to have anything done to my car at the dealership. Every few months I have to drop my car off at the dealer so they can swap and "fix" my rear hatch actuators so they don't stick anymore.

I like the simplicity of how you do things. Makes me want to hang out with so I may learn your ways.

Maybe I will go TT after all

step 1: make monies
step 2: install kit
step 3: go faster

Wow it is easy, thx kenchan!

Can you DIY?

sure he can

step1: drive to dealer
step2: pay
step3: done! :tup:


.. :ugh: gettin' kinda old..

This is how I do it. Twice a year.

I get around the weather thing like this...

1. In May, I've had the car out for a month because I can't stand to not drive it anymore and it's been driven in the rain and it's dirty, so it doesn't matter if it is raining that day

2. In November, I'm about to put the car up for the winter. I'll probably get it out in March when it's rainy because I can't stand not driving it anymore, so if it gets rained on a little, it's no big deal.

In between that, I just drive it rain or shine depending on how dirty it is or is not. :)

$40 to get it done with Mobil 1 at the shop. It's not worth the time for me to change oil myself :icon14:

it is a pita to have to go to WALMART :mad: of all places to get the Mobil1 one forsure... :ugh:
then another trip to recycle old oil.. :ugh2:

but i like to know that my car was worked on properly. :p

4 pages already?

Not that hard to change if a girl can do it? I dont see how you cant do it unless your disabled :stirthepot:



But again like it has been mentioned a qualified auto shop could do the work without the worry about getting dirty.

or what if the "professional" messes something up, either by ignorance or intentional? some places, not all, will either:

1. claim they performed a service, but really never did, but charge you anyway

or

2. they will perform a service half-@$$ed, and then break something on purpose just to squeeze more money out of you.

again, not all are like this, but i personally would never take that chance.


again, seriously?

Oil Change Places?
 

Stripped bolts. Cross threaded. Oil spilled all down the engine and exhaust (starts smoking on the way home). Grease hand prints. Uncertainty! Fast drained, leaving a lot of old oil.
Hummmm,
BUT, I have never found one of those "$40" synthetic oil Chang places. And a quality filter (Mobil 1, Purolator) is just as important as the quality oil.
Synthetic Blend? NONE of the manufactures say what the blend is? 50/50. I don't think so. 10/90 % . Who knows?.

Like a lot of others here, I do my own oil changes now. It takes very VERY little skill to do an oil change on the 370z. As long as you follow all proper safety precautions, of course.

But if I don't have time I take it to any reputable shop (look online for reviews) and bring my own oil and filter to them. I personally wouldn't spend more than 60 bucks or so (total including oil and filter to do it though). Dealership has tried to charge $100+ before. LOL no thanks.

:)

Nissan $40...long gone are the days I'm changing my own oil. Screw that...

I do it myself because I know it takes more than 20 minutes to drain all your dirty oil as Jiffy and other put the drain plug back when is still draining. Not that I'm advertising for Advance Auto but they're running a special for $35 5qts of Mobil 1 oil and filter w/ a $5 rebate. Doing wifey's 2014 Rogue tomorrow...:driving:

I do it myself. Redline synthetic with purolator pureone. It's really not hard, and you get the peace of mind of knowing exactly what was done
