$91 for an oil change?

jayhuffdaddy · 12-23-2011, 06:54 PM

All I can say is this: DIY: Nissan 370Z Oil change (AK370Z way) Pictures inside

I have never changed the oil in any of my vehicles until I purchased my 370. This thread showed me everything I need to know. Never looked back since. It usually cost me around $30 to do it myself for fully synthetic if not cheaper.

^ so true. $90 bucks could buy you an oil change and all the tools to do the job

^^lucky

My first oil change with nissan was $115, never went back since, doing it yourself saves time, money, and gives you satisfaction in knowing the job wasn't half-assed and over priced.

i just call them up, make an appointment then just drive down, they take care of it, 30 min to hour later, im on the road.

Dealership doing it for Free, saves money and time (as i will check out the other Z's)

Yeah you can't beat free, but for those of us who weren't fortunate enough to get the free oil change for life, doing it yourself is the next best thing.

i agree, wasnt disputing that lol its all good!

fncrow · 12-24-2011, 09:45 AM

Every time i go its differnet. One time it was free, one time it was 90 something like yours, one time it was 14 and then this last time it was free again.

I usually take it to one of two dealerships depending on what state im in.

jaedub · 12-24-2011, 03:00 PM

I just take it to a local jiffy lube. $60 for a synthetic oil. Not too bad

freking8 · 12-24-2011, 05:45 PM

I pay $60 for Mobile 1 synthetic at my local Nissan dealer

I remember the sales managers face when he told me $110 for the oil change, a great big smile.

Then I informed him I am on the Gold maintenance plan and it is free.

The speed at which his face changed, to shock, still sticks in my memory.

He probably was thinking how his plan to rip you off back fired and how he looked like a douche.

I just bring in 5qts of Moble 1 with a fram filter and the dealer charges me just $9.46, it worth the trouble
