Remove the MAF (2 screws), spray and wipe clean with a microfiber or shop towel and then replace the MAF. It's as easy as pie and takes a whole 10 minutes for both sides.

Thanks for the info.

gotta luv crc.

Will be working on my Z tonight putting back the stock intake box. Might have some time for the lip not sure. Too tired today running errands after work.

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?

It doesn't get that high from a short run. The guy admitted he didn't change it, got them to take care of it for me.

What does that mean? They didn't "change" it? change what? The oil? So they took care of it? huh? Sorry I'm confused.

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

He drove my car back to his bay, probably smoked a couple cigarettes, and then told them the car was ready. Apparently not the first time it has happened with him.

no way...i expect this from a jiffy lube, but the actual dealership? while they are named stealership for a reason, they usually do their job. sometimes its a terrible job...but they do it! i'd complain to corporate to be honest. our cars have a 3750 mile change interval, and going 7k on whatever fill they give you can definitely lead to some issues down the line. imagine if you got that tech 3 times in a row, or if we didnt have an oil temp guage. no one would ever know

I installed a Escort Radar detector. Hard wiring was smooth. Now I know where all the hiding cops are. One this morning thought he was smooth, I knew of him several blocks away...

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?
