The expensive part from the dealer comes from the fact that they chage $15 per quart for the ester oil

arr.... Then I think there's the difference between Canada and The States. We pay $75 for regular oil. |

wow At US Nnissan dealers it would be about $40 for regular, $75 for synthetic, $105 for nissan ester. I spend $60 to do my oil changes with Red Line/puralator filter by myself

I really have no idea, I've been dealing with him for 13yrs, he just tell me how much and I just pay.. LOL I know he is honest, so I never really ask. But when the job is costly, he will tell me the cost breakdown and explain to me.

dude, read my post, why would you ask the questions that I already given you the answer on page 1..... The more thinking you go through, the more headache you will have. No matter how far is the dealer, thinking won't make you a decision, you still have to drive there test drive the car regardless.

Check the condition of the tires,see if they are new(er )or the originals ,tires dont last over long on a Z if you are hard on the throttle,if they look like the OEM factory Potenza tires with 20k on them he probably didnt run it too hard.
