to get a better grip on the cap, try taking off the engine cover

use a long wrench that is wide enough to fit around the handle of the cap. with the wrench, you should get enough leverage to break it loose.

I bought mine at Miller Infiniti also, they did all my oil change for free (Life Time) then I moved to Orlando, now it's NOT free, $46 at Orlando Infiniti (30-40 min drive), so now I go to Nissan (5min drive) and get it done for $26.

I went to my dealer today and they told me:

- $40 for regular oil change
- $90 for Synthetic Oil

I think he was talking about the first oil change during break in period. And the answer would be yes then you can move on to the 3500-4500 mile range.

Yes, I was surprised too when I heard that.

I have decided to try to do it myself. I went to Costco tonight and saw they have 2 type of Mobil 1 Synthetic Oils, with SAE: 5w30 & 10w30 for $22/box of 6. I didn't know which one to get. Anyone have any suggestion?

****. i wish i could have caught this thread earlier today. i thought it was cool that they wash my car for free because i tend to get lazy washing my car. i guess that's probably why they offer expensive a5s detailing......
