oil change at the first 3k miles, how much does it cost?
a local dealer asked for $90, is that too expensive? I noticed it will be around $30 for other Nissans~

Nissan Ester Oil is about $12/qt so $90 is about the price you will pay for an oil change at the dealer. Ester Oil is recommended for the 370Z.

just had mine done. With the est-oil, change was 89+9disposal fee. Total price 98$ at the dealer with instructions to return in 4-5k miles and a coupon for 10$off

Yikes, $90 oil change. I bought the service plus maintenance, I'm starting to think it was worth it. I change every 3k miles, but would probably go 5k if I had to do it myself. I think you can go up to 7k with this oil, can anyone confirm?

mobil 1 full synthetic: $43

I paid $92 for the first oil change. Went to the standard oil on the next change and paid $32. Don't see any differences at all. Supposedly the ester is supposed to help quiet engine noises, but IMO, it's a load of crap. |

Oil doesnt have to be 100% synthetic for the company to call it synthetic.. Mobil 1 is not 100% synthetic |
Lets not start another Oil pissing thread....
And agree with Zero, it's only recommended. |

The questions are:
1) How long do you really expect to keep this car... and 2) At the end of the day, are you going to get anything more for your money (i.e. increased performance, increased longevity within the time you are planning to keep this actual car). In the end, I'll probably hold on to this car until it reaches 100k or so miles, so it would be wasted money for me. The car won't be worth any more, and the engine will last long past 100k no matter which oil you choose between the two. |
I paid $87 total using Nissan Esther Oil at the dealer.
|
I'd just get Certified Pre-Owned Oil, so much cheaper than getting NEW oil every time. i mean it gets dirty anyway right! and its not used, its pre owned.

Whether or not it's a good oil doesn't appear to be questioned often....tons of people use it, and many major auto makers as well, but it isn't the same Mobil 1 that it used to be. To the OP, $90 is right around what most dealerships are charging for an oil change with the recommended Nissan Ester Oil. Some are charging $30, but either don't use Ester or have no idea what it is. |

That's kinda what I thought. Makes me a little nervous though. Say I blow an engine - I wonder how "OK" the dealer would be with my DIY oil changes then. Hmmm... thanks for your reply, Phil |
