I got my oil changed at 1200 Miles. I thought the same thing as everybody else. I drove like a grandma the entire time and it sucked. Then i thoght if i am gonna drive more aggressive i probably need to change out the oil thats in the engine becuase its probably got alot of "debri" in it.

So i too assumed the dealership was going to use nissan ester oil, i thought it was just someting that you have to do with a 370z. I read the forums here and some one said dealer did not put it in. So i checked my service receipt and it said "5.0 Formula Shell 10w-30". I instantly thought what the hell is this crap no way! If i was going to put a non nissan ester oil in my car, i would have put Royal Purple in it.

So i called my dealer, they at first attempted to argue with me saying Formula Shell is the "same" as nissan ester. BEcuase i told them no its not, they said ok we will do research and find out if it is or isnt the same and call you back. Told them fine they called me back and changed there tune they were no longer arguementive and said hey come in we will put ester oil in free of charge, and yes there seems to be a difference in the oils after doing research.

I went in, i argued with the man again trying to pay for it, he finaly broke down and let me pay for the oil and labor will be free. Ended up paying for the oil only at 60 dollars. I was happy, he was happy.
