Buy Redline 5w30. Bring it with you and pay them for "their" oil change and have them use your oil.

sounds good

i took a look at this thread:

DIY: Nissan 370Z Oil change (AK370Z way) Pictures inside

the nissan dealer recommended changing the oil filter as well. should i do that and is there anything else? my mate wants to come see the car but i'm afraid to drive even low revs after this episode.

Unless you watch them put your oil in, how are you to know if the mechanic doesn't keep yours.

Why not do your own oil change, at least you know you did it right.
