It pays to keep the oil clean...

i dont think it should be hard if you have ramps...for me it would be hard to do though since im a novice at trying to change oil, but i think the oil filter is on the passenger side tho.

Just did oil change yesterday at Agincourt Infiniti in Scarborough for $39.99. At that price, not sure it's worth going elsewhere! Plus, the service at Agincourt (at least in my experience) is great - i was in and out in 45 minutes.
Next time you get a new car, try to talk the salesman into getting a "synthetic oil package" for lifetime.
I did when I got my car in 2002 and its now costing the dealership $$$$, not me.

Thanks Bill,
I was unaware that ifiniti had deals like that for oil changes. I knew caddilac had deals that, but that was about it. So is there anyway infiniti can still arrange such a thing for fee ofcourse?

... so much to remember......
The best I"ve been able to do (so far) is 3 free oil changes...(which are dino anyway)......
BB_Sam........that price seems fair for GTA......Around here it's a little less ($34.99) but things are a tad less expensive in Cambridge than GTA.

I guess the big question is how hard is it to get at the oil filter?
