OEM Parts -30mi/48km service
Hey folks,
Have my 48,000km maintanence coming up and was looking to pick up a bunch of OEM parts for it.
Here is a listing of the parts I plan on getting (good for reference, appologies for the format which isn't kept):
*Note I priced out getting extra oil filters for future use
Comparitivly
Calling the local dealership vs. a Buffalo dealership the BASE price is about 20% cheaper BEFORE taxes/and exchange rate, so closer to 28% after from the US.
An online parts place is an additional approx 10% cheaper than the US dealer SHIPPED to a US address.
The price shipped to Canada is (unbelievably)pretty much the same as well.. however it's shipped via UPS. So they will take on brokerage, admin, taxes, unicorn and candy fees.
I don't know what the rules are posting prices, therefore I've used %'s.
But realistically:
- JUST to go to the states, the savings aren't there (time and gas prices)
- To ship it home from the online place who knows what you're going to pay with UPS. A group buy between a few people to split costs may make more sence.![7](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/7.gif)
So after posting my findings.. Where does everyone buy their Nissan parts from?![Smilie](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Give Dave a call if you're really looking to get OEM parts. There's a thread in the Canada section so do a search and you'll find his contact.
IMO, a lot of those items on your list can be replaced with better aftermarket stuff and call it a day. Definitely not worth a trip all the way to Buffalo just to pick up items for your oil change/flush.

Thanks - sent him an email @ automania@rogers.com Will check the prices vs. aftermarket.
Don't like messing around with aftermarket for tranny and diff fluid. Read lots of little issues over the years and various cars that I have no time to play around with. And for the amount I drive OEM is just fine.
Cheers!

I will be going with Amsoil for Tranny and Differential. Oil filter will be by K & N HP1008 I believe is the model # and the alternator belt & compressor belt i am having replaced with OEM parts for $90.
Last remaining parts are Air Filter and InCabin filter, any specific types that are better than others? Should I just go OEM?

My $0.02.
Are you guys changing belts just because it's in the manual or because an inspection of them has deemed them needing a replacement?
I'm at 61k now and my mechanic (a Nissan guy) recently said mine are still perfectly fine.
Filters I do upon my own inspection as well.
Anyway... I always get a few thing from www.autopartsway.ca They are fast, reliable and local. They may not be as low priced as some sites, but you will see your order the next day.
