$91 for an oil change?
 

I went to the dealership today (Carolina Nissan in Burlington) and was charged $91.62 for an oil change.......

Is this normal at all?

I figured it out....thanks...

You got ripped off. It should've cost $91.61.

Did they break down the cost?
-Price per quart?
-Hourly labor rate & how many hours?

This is called a sealership WIN! :ugh2:

Mine was around $60 with synthetic oil.

We get charged $70AUD just for oil.

Service is usually around $250AUD

You guys have it good!

you got charged $13 a bottle for oil i assume EST is ester oil .. thats where you got screwed...

i go to walmart i pay $6.27 a bottle for mobil 1 synthetic take it to the dealer and they charge me like 3/10s an hour labor and a filter...done deal

Nissan Ester is $12.97/qt at my dealership.

is this normal.... yes. is it a rip-off.... yes.

;)

All I can say is this: http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-d...es-inside.html

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

I pay $23aud for a qt of redline....

sorry you paid way to much.
silly question why didn't you ask the dealer how much before
they did it.

my dealer does mobile1 for around 65.00 which includes a wash

wow, you must be in the xmas spirit of giving, op. :icon17:

True dat. The most expensice Dino Oil on the planet.

I buy my synthetic (Pennzoil Ultra) at Wal Mart in the huge jugs and then if someone else is changing my oil it's sitting there on the floor of the vehicle for them.

What's the exchange rate US/AUS?

And Redline is synthetic, Ester isn't.

For the last few months its been at

1USD = 1.06AUD

Now its 1USD=0.98AUD

We call it the Australia Tax, everything here is more expensive lol.

So basically 1:1. Damn, you're paying a lot for that oil, lol.

Yeah, I paid within a few cents of that the first change that I had. Now I use Mobil 1 and take it to them. With some of the deals and rewards points that I've gotten at Autozone, a 5liter jug ends up around $25.

Yup, that's about what I'm paying for Pennzoil Ultra at Wal Mart. :tup:

my dealership....FREE oil changes for life! =)

Jones Junction in Bel Air, MD

Mine too. I pay for a 15 dollar oil change every other oil change for 100k miles

^^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. :tup:

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. :driving:

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!

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.

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

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.

:icon18: He probably was thinking how his plan to rip you off back fired and how he looked like a douche. :icon17:

Bring It In
 

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

I think it was $86 here in DFW Nissan dealership with full synthetic.

That Nissan Ester oil is too expensive. I do Redline syn, also an esther base, direct from Redline is $10.something a quart. Plus like $20 for Jiffy Lube to change the oil is a $70-80 or so total.

Nice!

He was like :icon17:, then he was like :mad:

hahaha...:tup:

I do my own oil changes, I wouldnt trust anyone else to work on my Z.. thats just me.
