Mr. Lube, or almost any fast grease and go joint. You might call them and ask if they have done a G before, tell them what oil you want, etc.
I use a Mr. Lube in Kit. with regularity.

I've used Mr. Lube in the past when I'm in a rush and cannot make it to the dealer and I find the dealer (Oakville) to be cheaper than Mr. Lube. I guess it's the price you pay for a quick service.

Really, I would have thought the dealer would be more expensive. Are you running synthectic or regular oil?

Our local dealers (all brands) usually compete and have a sale price on O/Changes and filter for about $30. (dino oil -not synthetic).

Call around, but I doubt Jiffy or the like will do better than that.....

The Nissan dealership here in Kingston uses Royal Purple for their Synthetic and I think the service girl said it was about $90 for a synthetic oil change.
Does that sound too steep?

Hey Matt, I get Mobil 1 (5.4L) synth on sale at about $35 (PartsSource) and labour for O/Change shouldn't be more than about $25 tops.....so I'd say $90 is high, tho I'm not sure about the Royal Purple cost.

BTW Matt, we're headed to Shannonville on July 18th for the AAE .. If you can break away for a day or half a day we'd love to see you either as a participant or spectator.............

I was reading that Colin, looks awesome!
I took advantage of that deal at Partsource for my last oil change for my G and the van. Nissan only charged me about $15-20 to do the change.
90 bucks seemed kind of steep for a synthetic change.
I will see if I can make it for that day in July.

i just do it myself its pretty easy and at least i know that everything will be done properly. i remember the first time i did my oil change to my g was about 2 years after owning it and when i took off my oil filter it looked like it has never been changed ever! so i changed it and put in a castrol filter and i went from doing about 420-450 on my 6mt coupe to 520-560+ km per tank
