Excellent stuff latte. It's obvious where to go if you don't mind the drive. I think generally from what I have heard, is people get excellent service at Oakville as well.

Which side should be jacked up to get the easiest access?
Not the best idea to get under there without stands or ramps, but jacking up the passenger side will expose the side of the engine you need.
To access the drain and filter properly, tho, you'll need to at least partially remove the under engine cover which is best done while up on ramps.
I got my (Rhino) ramps at Parts Source .. not expensive and the work well. (and very safe)..

That's Village Nissan! Ummmmm there was a Nissan flyer with coupons for $49.99. Sorry to say, $90 seems high. Maybe they also did something else for you besides the oil change?

Oakville Infiniti - 54.65 is not the Mobil 1 Synthetic - its regular oil.

Last month synthetic oil change was around 90 dollars.

Yes, you are right, 54.65 at Oakville it's bottled 5W30 mineral oil. I've got it confirmed by a service adviser today. He also told me that there is no need for synthetic really in G35, but if I want they can give me Mobil1 5W30, full synthetic, on the next maintenance work and it'll cost me aprox. $30.00 more.
Now can you please tell me is that right that there is no really need for synthetic oil in G35?

True... You don't NEED synthetic. But it's better.
Kind of like a G35... I didn't NEED one... but it sure beats driving my old car.

Oakville Infiniti - $54.65
I want to correct this:
YorkVille Infiniti - $108.00 for semi-synthetic;
401-Dixie Infiniti - $86.00 for mineral; $100.00 for synthetic
Oakville Infiniti - $54.65 for mineral; $98.00 - synthetic

The bad thing is that at Oakville Infiniti they did not even ask me of what oil I wanted to have in my car and did not tell me that there was an option of synthetic for a slightly higher price. And then, as I've found out, G35 comes from the manufacturer with semi-synthetic so by default a dealership should't use anything lower than semi at scheduled maintenance.
