Went to my dealer this afternoon to pick up some touch up paint for the Z. When I went in they asked me if I wanted an oil change. No labor fee on this one, just oil and filter charge. I think this is because when I purchased the locking nuts for the rims, I got pissy with them cause they charged me $21 for the labor on 4 lug nuts. I certainly didnt see that coming.......would have done it myself right there in the parking lot. None the less, I said sure, I will take an oil change.

On the way home I noticed the slight smell of oil and chalked it up to them not cleaning around the filter when they took out the old one. Oil temp went no higher than 220 for the trip home. Approximately 18 miles from the dealer to my house. About 15 minutes after I got home, my buddy from work called me and asked to see the Z. He had his daughter and son in the car and they wanted to look at it. No problem. Went to the garage, opened the door and watched them pull up. As soon as they got out of their car, my buddy pointed and said what the hell is that? HOLY CRAP Thats Mobile 1 Synthetic Oil all over my garage floor.

That cut the viewing short of course, and I immediately got on the phone with the dealer. They are going to send a truck out first thing in the morning and load the car up and take back to the dealer. WTF is going on? No warning light for oil, temp never got above 220, engine temp stayed right below 1/2 on the digital dots. Ambient temp here in South Texas this afternoon was 91 degrees. Im pissed off to say the least. So of course, my good friend Jack (Daniels) is gonna watch the hockey game with me tonight.
