Dealership oil change

Don't trust stealerships. I got them to change my waterpump (should have done it myself) and they 'forgot' to put coolant back in.

WOW... That's worse than using 0w20 vs 5w30


What Nissan uses 0w20??? That's a very Honda oil (as well as hybrid Toyotas)

They also thought my stock car was a nissan skyline, and when I told them it was a totally stock 240sx they asked where I had the skyline front end put on it. I don't trust Nissan dealerships with anything now.

Your point? we have one of the best economies and research/learning institutions in the United States and a ton of car/race/mechanic oriented people. I myself am a doctor not some redneck. Don't be hating on NC. Seems they should get it right.

That said, this dealership was in SC which is a different story.

0-20 oil, what a joke. Go some where else or do it yourself, that tech needs fired . I never had anyone grab the,"wrong oil".
