i got my oil change done today at walmart....a friend of mine said they did a good job on his truck, and to my suprise they actually did a good job and it was only $60 for their synthectic using mobil1.

 

The original deal presented to me was for regular oil but I insisted on Synthetic.
Agincourt bumped the price up a little for the package but its what I wanted. I don't think anyone before me had asked for it( that was in 2002).

I figured an oil change with full synthetic would be around $90 or more, so put 2 and 2 together...4 to 5 oil changes per year...I couldn't pass it up.

At the time it was around $600...

 

Good deal, ninog35.......If I were you tho, I'd get underneath and check to make sure the cover went back ok and all the bolts are there.
It's possible that they took out only the rear most 4 or 6 bolts for access to the drainplug and/or filter....

If it were mine I"d be checking the oil level too. I do my own changes so no matter who would do mine, I'd have a look anyway......

I expect that everything is fine.....but it doesn't hurt, or take but a minute, to look.

I get my oil change at a shop called EuroJapan (near steeles and Woodbine area). The owner of the shop does a good job and he charges me $60 cash for an oil change using amsoil.

 

When they do my oil changes they don't take the cover off. Someone smart
a$$ ol who did the oil changes before I bought the G cut a smallish hole in the cover so they could get at it.

 

thanks colin,
I will be checking that first thing tomorrow morning...cause i have heard some horror stories of people not tightning back the oil filter...which lead to a host of other problems...actually i think im going to take a look at it tonight...you have got me paranoid now ...lol

 

LOL, bro. don't be paranoid.......Everything is probably fine.


I just like to check and make sure it is......

I promise I don't work for Agincourt Infiniti , but while I was waiting for my oil change to be done, I saw that they have an "oil changes for life" package that was $599. I suspect the price is higher for synthetic but if you're in the GTA I'd call and see what the upcharge is for synthetic. The $599 covers oil changes every 6,000kms or 3months, whichever comes first.

 

Really now, for some reason that angel looks a little shady , but i will call and ask about the oil change for life.

 

Please post what you find out. I thought seriously about signing up for the plan but $599 is a lot to shell out all at once! Plus, I never know if I'll be close enough to this dealership longterm to make it work.

 

Someone who is looking for an easy solution I guess. It really isn't a good design. Infiniti could have come up with something with less screws and much easier to remove.

 

LOL, I think the same guy who designed the oil dipstick also helped out on the under engine cover......
I never had too much issue with it but I know many have.....

I hope to hell he's gone to payroll or some other department.....

i called Alta this afternoon, and they dont offer that plan.

 

Haha, yes the dipstick is a classic too. Hopefully he went to the competition!

 

Evidently at Infiniti, it takes one to design one...

Okay, this is a little pathetic but I'm excited about the first oil change in my new/old G this weekend. Just feels good to treat my baby right.
