I don't launch, redline, or even "race shift" up to 80 mph. I do a couple 20-60 sprints in 2nd/3rd, and 40-80 sprints in 3rd/4th, but that's about it.

I'm probably changing my oil next week. After my dealer's service department proved to be stupid, I'm worried about taking it there for my 1200 mile oil change, but I want to use Nissan Ester until I switch to synthetic at 3500.
So...what did they do (or not do) to earn the stupid designation?
