Dude you need to do some SERIOUS research next time so you don't get ripped off again.

I went to the Nissan dealer today and got the Ester oil change. It was $93 for me.

Whoa 4 hours? and $190? Did they use Unicorn blood or something?

Hope you checked your mileage after because 4 hour oil change brings this to mind...

I would go one more time and speak to the service manager. Tell them that the charges are out of order: about 2x what other dealers charge. Why?

I think you are entitled to a free change for that price (making it about a 95 service) and that with that pricing, you would return. Otherwise, you will never be back and word will get out about this pricing issue.

Just a thought,
