If you out regular oil in your car and change it within 3750 miles, they can't void your warranty, so that means it's "good enough" and most, if not all meet API specs

Damn it!!!! I just got my first oil change at 3765. Does this mean my warranty is now void?!

Slow day today, so I swung by the local Nissan dealer to get the oil changed on my 2014 Z with 4100 miles. They recommended Mobil 1 full synthetic, which I was OK with. Oil, filter and "multi-point inspection", whatever that is, cost me $75 and took about 45 minutes as a walk-in. I didn't buy my Z from them. Prior to this, I've always had my oil changed at the local Chevy dealer by my son, who's a GM Certified Service Tech, but he left that job for the oil fields of North Dakota.

I was OK with the whole process.

Yeah, I went in a little skeptical. I didn't buy this Z from them, but I bought my last one there, as well as several previous other Nissans and I've dealt with this dealer's service department before. The sales manager recognized me on my way in to Service, was curious about where this new Z came from and why I didn't shop it with them. Sheesh, I thought no one would ever ask, and I confess I kind of enjoyed telling him.

as long as the salesguy isnt all pissy and butthurt like the salesman who sold me my previous infiniti, then it's all good.

the guy wasnt there the morning i went in to buy the car so i bought it from another salesman. i was at the dealership the previous weekend checking out the car and he saw me there. he didnt bother to come by to ask if i was interested.

missed opportunity by him.
