I just got the second oil change (Nissan ester oil) on my 2014 Z at 3000 miles (every six months) the other day. Total bill, including oil at $12.00 a quart (5), and filter, was $75.00. Got a few dollars off with an on-line dealer coupon.

Frequent maintenance is key to getting the most out of any car. Thanks for sharing your results!

Thank you for sharing, that's all use, $100 at Nissan, I change it every 3k miles which lately is roughly every 3 months

I don't like your Silicon levels. What air intake/filters are you using? I would like to see that
a little lower.

I did my best that my service advisor said it's my best maintenance. Thanks.

every 4-5k I get my maintenance only at the dealorship and change any part if necessary without delay. that multipoint inspection doesn't say the air intake/filter to be a new.

So you still have the stock intake and air filter setup? I would change filters and look for any loose breather hose connections after the air filter box. Your Silicon levels are not way out of whack, just a little higher than the average that looks like a 19 from your report.

Well.. you know I'm not that an auto expert. I just do my best by the result of Nissan maintenance sheet.

How many miles on your car? Standard Nissan Maintenance would change the air filters at 15,000 miles. If you are in the <10,000 mile range your issue may just be due to break in/assembly and the levels will drop further.

LOL, I guess I forgot what I read yesterday... Yes, you would have changed
both air filters several times.

I have sent oils sample's to Black Stone laboratories several times with
the same positive results....

I am at 72,000 miles and Ester Oil is changed every 3000 miles.:iagree:
