Looking for a place in Houston (oil change)
 
hey guys i'm looking for a good place in Houston to do my first oil change on my 2015 370z. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Also any recommendations on what kind of oil I should buy and how much of it? and what filter to get?

Thanks for reading this.

No garage at home to do it? It takes like an hour.

DIY. Or does JTran do oil changes? They are a highly reputed shop.

As for oil, try using the search function. There are a billion threads. No need to start another one. I use Mobil 1 5w30 (because 5 qts is $25 at Walmart). Lots of people like Redline. Pick your poison.

I fill exactly 5 quarts pretty much every oil change. But I always keep an extra quart around.

I'll give you a hand but it will be a couple of weeks.

JARblue 07-08-2015 02:29 PM

PM Chuck33079 or jwick. I don't want to volunteer them straight up because I don't know their schedules. But I know in the past they have been willing to help out fellow Z owners with basic stuff like oil changes in exchange for a few beers and pizza. They enjoy wrenching and should be able to help out a Z owner who is eager to learn :tup:

**edit** Chuck is on it :tiphat:

jhtran13 07-08-2015 02:42 PM

awesome thanks man i appreciate it

Get started with basic youtube videos. We all learned the basics somehow. Or in kens case, he photoshopped how to do an oil change. Something about extra virgin and a pond filter with a breaker bar.

1. Twist off oil cap
2. Turn car upside down to let the oil drain out
3. Put car back on the ground
4. Pour in new oil
5. Twist cap back on. Done!
