oil change

ddvette9 · 12-28-2009, 10:13 AM

service guy just called me back and said he will not service my car unless they use ester..all Z cars have ester. Now to rephrase the question...has anyone gone from ester to non ester after their 3,500-7,000 oil change. I cant afford 100 dollars

Find another service guy or DIY. In any case, as long as you use oil that meets the API requirement listed in the manual...you're fine. They can't void the warranty for using oil that isn't Nissan's oil.

That *is* in direct conflict with the Fergusson-Moss Act, and it's intended use...to prevent dealer tie-in sales and requirements to keep a warranty.

Ford Truck requries Ford Oil, and must be performed at a Ford Dealership to maintain warranty.....for example
