Oil Change at Dealer?

I just bought a Beautiful 08 g35x from a private party, she only has 50k miles.

I want to get an oil change, what are the best options?
- take it to dealership and get theirs?
-take it to jiffy lube?
-other

Im not gonna change it on my own, because im to lazy.

This is my first nice car and i want to make sure to treat it right, i have always just gone to jiffy lube with my old Hondas and such.

Yea i figured it would be super over priced, what do you recommend doing then besides dealer to make sure it gets the correct oil and everything gets reset correctly.

I would do it myself, if possible, then you know, especially if laziness is your only reason. Besides that, its prolly the easiest car on earth to change oil on......

^ what he said

I personally either:

(1) go to the Infiniti dealer if they have coupon for $29.99 oil change
(2) go to the Nissan dealer for $26 oil change

Go to a Nissan dealer. Slightly cheaper. Technically you can go to any dealer. An oil change on these cars is nothing special. Honestly, i'd bring my car to a Ford dealer before Jiffy lube. You might have to bring them a filter, but the oil change is like any other car really.

I'm a DIYer though. 15 mins and i get to inspect the underside of the car.

i pay $15 at the dealership when I bring them my own oil and filter.. also they give me a free car wash and i probably drink a cup of coffee and eat their snacks while I wait.

Oh yea.. it also goes on the service record as "dealer-service" haha.

I used to change my oil for the past 10+ years, but I dont have a garage anymore, so dealership it is.

Fact Best advice, go to WallMart and buy Mobil1 5/W30 synthetic then visit your local auto parts store and buy a WIX oil filter...they're the best! If you don't want to change your own oil take your G to someone you trust, like your favorite mechanic. He might charge you $10 to do the job, you know it w/b done right and you're using quality products...Gary

I take my car to the dealers just so they have record that I take care of my car since I have the elite warranty. Jiffy lube is a big scam and I posted a few videos on here showing that. For me I rather go to the dealers for one reason. If the F*ck up, they have to fix it. Plus I am just rich that I can have anything fixed on my car at the dealership. Lol

went to dealer, it was only $40 and they washed and vacuumed my car for free.
Where do you get the coupons for dealership? $40 is very reasonable imo, thats what i payed at greese monkey for my honda accord last time, lol.
