oil change price... it's like, WOW!

I went to the dealer today to pick up my title and the service manager (friend of my father-in-law) has been taking incredible care of me. As I walked in he said "what are you doing here?" I told him about the title and he asked what I was at for mileage. I told him 1200 and he said, "stick around for 45min and I'll have the first service comp'd for you."

They changed the oil and put in Valvoline generic 5w30. I brought up the Nissan ester oil and no one knew what I was talking about. Then I showed them the threads on this site using my iPhone and they low and behold dug out a box of unopened Nissan Ester Oil. They drained the fresh Valvoline into the trash and swapped it for the sweeter Nissan nectar. So, first oil change at 1200 for free with the Nissan Ester Oil. Pretty sweet deal.

I'm surprised no one at the dealership knew about the oil though. They parts guy even pulled the manual to show me there was no specific need for the ester oil...but still put it in
