Hey guys my friend is telling me I should change my own oil because all bets are off when you use jiffy lube by me. Do you guys bring your cars back to the dealership for the change or you do it yourself or just bring it to the local spot?

My dad's shop. Or I do it in my garage. Why don't you take use of the Nissan's deals?
Don't they give free detailing and oil changes since you just purchased ur z?!

I do. I don't trust shops to do it right. Half of them don't change the filters! Most of them don't know what oil to use.

I change my own oil on all cars in my family. Years ago, I used an express oil change. Checking after they changes my oil, I noticed they over-filled it. I trust my own work. A set of ramps in my drive way and an ample supply of filters and synthetic oil in my garage are all that I need. I recycle used oil to a nearby Autozone.

I change mine street-side atop ramps fashioned out of nailed together 2x4's situated next to a street drain that leads directly to the ocean so I can hide the evidence.

(Not really, I do it myself, in my garage, and take the used oil to a California Certified Oil Recycling Center.)

Scared me for a sec. I almost took a trip to your house with a 2x4.

Same here, i'll take care of it. I think as long as you keep all your receipts it shouldn't screw up the warranty.
