If you go to Nissan Cars, Hybrids, Trucks, Crossovers, SUVs | Nissan USA and go to the "owners" section, once registered, there is a section for recording service to the car. It is not the official record, but it is a good place to note oil changes, etc.

just fyi the express oil change bays (where your car would go if ur at a dealership only for an oil change) are the kind u drive up on sort of like an alignment rack but with an inclined ramp to get up on there. Nismos will scrape. the front fascia is way too low. if u own a nismo and u go to nissan for a lube oil and filter tell them u want a tech to do it in the shop (real lifts). a tech will be happy to service your beautiful nismo as if it were his/her own....... nismos imo get a little more love than say a murano or an altima, sad but true. most dealerships are aware of this problem and u dont have to worry. but, for your cars front end sake just make sure u specify a tech, in the shop, with a real lift, or no soup for you.

I reused mine and no probs. I wonder at what point it becomes unusable. Or can you use a metal or stainless and not have to replace it all the time. And where can u get them other than the dealer?

I recently had this same probelem and my Z was jus a week old, is it possible that some hater could of jus pulled my oil plug? cuz if so im pretty sure I know who it was :mad:
