I just may end up sticking w/ the Schedule 1, since I'm not "in the know" with the innards of the car, and would rather them check more items. Since they check fewer things w/ schedule two, that is my reason. If I knew more about the innards of the car, and had more "mechanic type" knowledge, I would probably do schedule 2, that way I could do a lot of it on my own.

The first two times I bring in the car it's free. When I bring it in for the first time, is there an advised oil type to bring with me, or just let them dump in the mobil-1 synthetic?

If you are getting a free oil change, then they are going to use their own Nissan oil. I have seen people in this thread use Nissan's oil for the first two time's (at least once for sure) if free, then switch to synthetic oil. If you are going to get two free oil changes form Nissan, then go with their oil & then go straight to synthetic oil afterwards.
