Oil Change
 

So yesterday i was in Advanced Auto and they have a deal on 5 qt. of Mobil 1 extended preformance and a matching oil filter for 32.00 Awesome deal. So i bought it went home jacked up and Z and did my first ever oil change on any car. and it was really easy. Glad i did research from AK370Z's awesome posts .

:tup: Always good to take care of general maintenance yourself. You learn a bit about your car and you get the peace of mind that it was done correctly.

Exactly! I have never had the urge to really "learn" about many cars I've owned but the Z I wanna know every nook and cranny. And the done correctly part for sure it seems one of the tires plus "technicians" forgot 2 bolts when putting the undercarriage back on and tightend the damn drain plug down so tight i almost broke my wrench getting it off

yah, one of the problems i too encounted a while a go on my other car is that the dealer either forgot or lost or tightened too loosely the lower engine cover bolts. i lost one as well. :(

i dont usually let my dealer do oil changes but it was free at the time and in winter so i let them do it... 'free' comes with a price. :icon14:

:tup:

I did an oil change last Saturday and noticed one gone as well. Hmm

:( yah, that sucks. not that it's a huge deal or anything but when you see something like that you kind of start wonder the overall work the dealer did. :ugh2:

Once upon a time I did all kinds of work on my cars. All I do now is wash it. No doubt about it, doing your own work, does connect you to your car, far more.

Yep.

ill save the extra cash. do it myslef and know its done right

That is the way to go

Mine only had 6 bolts from the factory. I replaced all the missing ones myself.

hate to think that you have more bolts missing from your car.... not just the engine cover screws. :rofl2:
