West Covina Nissan quoted me $40.00 for an oil change. I asked one day to see the price difference in doing it myself or taking it to the dealership. $120.00 is rediculous. No one should be paying that much for an oil change unless you're consuming over 15 quarts of oil.

I agree that $120 is steep, but West Covina isn't using the right kind of oil for your Z if they're only charging you $40. Nissan Ester Oil (which is recommended for our cars) is $12 a quart, and our engine takes 5 -1/8 qts.
