My dealership (Smith Nissan, Fort Smith Arkansas), made my oil change and getting my TSB parts ordered, quick and easy. 30 minutes, parts ordered, $36 oil change

vipor · 03-02-2010, 11:50 AM

Which TSB parts? Hatch Springs?

chuckd05 · 03-02-2010, 12:55 PM

hope u got the right oil

vipor · 03-02-2010, 12:56 PM

probably got some Nissan 5W30 non-Ester at that price.

oil is oil man. let's not stir this up. if you get it changed regularly (3k in this case) it will be fine.

Zsteve · 03-02-2010, 03:10 PM

got my TSB hatch springs put in this morning. They didnt even check to see if it wasnt opening. It opens real good now.

i cant see myself taking my 370z in just for the oil change and hatch tsb...

vipor · 03-02-2010, 03:45 PM

Then you don't love it enough.

kenchan · 03-02-2010, 03:47 PM

nono, i luv the car so much that i'd just do it myself.

vipor · 03-02-2010, 03:53 PM

I do my work myself (so far anyways) but for the TSB I knew that wasn't an option.

kenchan · 03-02-2010, 03:58 PM

actually they will give you the parts if you ask. at least my dealers have done that for me.

vipor · 03-02-2010, 04:04 PM

For a TSB the shop doesn't get paid unless a tech does the work. There has to be labor attached to it for them to get credit. Maybe the place you go just "handles" that part of it.

Actually, I got mine done under warranty, but there was no TSB. I still think it works the same way though.

Zsteve · 03-02-2010, 04:18 PM

The dealership is right out the gate of Ft. Bliss so during lunch I just stopped by and they printed out some paper work for me to sign and then it took 2 minutes to change out the parts. They need it signed for proof of fix I guess.

As for the oil change I bought the stuff and they did it for $12.50 labor a week ago. Cant beat that price for labor plus I got the royal purple oil and K N filter on sale for $40 total at O'riellys. So $52 for complete oil change with quality products, alot better than $110 for their way.

I got to free oil change from the stealership so I'm going to use it even that I know that they are not going to use the most exoensive oil.

I also want to car to be register in the Nissan/dealeship database.
