What did you do with your Z today

USMCASA

maybe they preheated the oil before putting it in your car

If you still have the work order, look at the milage when you got there and compare to what you have now. It seems like (possible) someone went for a joy ride. If you wonder if they changed your oil, look at your oil filter, it should be a new one (no road dirt etc) Also, check the dip stick, the oil should be clear and clean. Joy ride is my bet. I would be pissed! This is why I change my own oil.

No joy ride. I took it out of the bay. They have to go past the lobby to get outside anyways.

Red... I think your oil temp was just elevated because don't they usually start the car up and check for leaks/and/or levels?

Finally months after being lazy, I painted my oil cooler block off plate flat black. Instead of the silver plate I had behind the grill. Will look alot better now. I'll post pics later.

Just received my HPS Tubes and K&N Drop-ins. Installed the drop-ins, got my hands oily, tubes will wait till tomorrow when I'm at work and have tools.

Now, time to get coffee.

hey how's yours turn out? i FINALLY got around to this yesterday and trimmed off a little to make it fit. haven't driven the car yet though... no time~

btw, i noticed mine did not come with the t-clamps so asking HPS to send me a set. one of the reasons why i got these tubes were for those clamps.

nynhex

Honestly I haven't had the time to put my HPS tubes in yet. The drop-ins were a snap, I'll try for tomorrow on the tubes. Got a lot of stuff to put on. Spoiler, Rev/Parking lights, HIDs, wire up my sub, etc.

Apparently I may be getting a Stillen exhaust in the mail shortly..

Did a costco run this evening, Just got my Z a few weeks ago and it's my only car

Upside - fits more than expected

Downside - seems like most of the kids in Markham driving econoboxes* want to race off at the lights ... I'm old and I just want to get my groceries home in one piece, need a cargo net


*nothing wrong with econoboxes, I would've kept mine if I had more than one parking spot in my condo

I drove mine to my local Nissan dealer and ALMOST traded it in for a 2011 Maxima...then I returned it home to the garage, got in my '08 Altima, and traded IT for the new Maxima. Now I have the best of both worlds.

We had midterm primary elections today so I was off from work, went by the Nissan dealer to get the oil changed [8500] miles first one at [2400] miles. Brought in 5 qts of Mobil 1 5W30 and a fram oil filter, they charged me 9.49, talked about getting a NISMO flash tune but none of the mechanics had the software to transfer and convert my ECM, maybe later this summer.

$9.49 each, I'm guessing?
