I go to local Nissan dealership. The oil change is $25.00 and the service is great.

Do NOT ever go to a Jiffy Lube. The last time I took my "other car" there (not a G) them forgot to put the oil cap back on and left it sitting on top of the engine. What idiots! It was a big mess, yes they cleaned it up but still. How dumb can you be?

I did call a few Nissan dealers in my area and got a price for an oil change of $24.95 so I think that is the winner for me, for now.

I wouldnt say that changing the oil is that easy. You have to remove a plastic pan to get to the filter. I use Mobil One so going to the Jiffy Lube would be very expensive. Or 19 for the oil at Walmart. 6 for a Pure One filter. Do the washers really needed to be replaced?

Took my 04 for it's first oil change at 3,600 miles. Bought my 5 qts of mobile 1 at walmart for 19 bucks and had the dealer do it for NO CHARGE. Took a total of 30 minutes while I had my coffee. No leaks, no scratches, no hassel, no dirty hands. The days for getting under my car are over. It comes a time we must take the plunge and "trust the dealer" Knock on wood. No problems.

It's not a matter of "having" to trust someone else to do it.

Some people don't mind getting their hands dirty no matter how old or busy they are.

I'm glad you had no problems.

I didn't get pulled over today. My days of getting pulled over are over!!!!!!!

when I used to go to the dealer, even though they use seat and mat protectors, my steering wheel would smell like oil for a week.

Re: Does anyone NOT get oil changes at the dealer?

Out of the 7 or so visits to my dealer during the first year of owning my sedan, they used a seat protector once. The one time I let them do the oil change during the 15K service, they stripped 3 of the bolts holding the diffuser in. I think they used an air tool to tighten the bolts because I had to use a socket wrench to break them loose instead of being able to with my cordless screwdriver. Found that out when I went to change it the next time.
