my nissan shop jacked up the price
#17
I just bought my sedan a month ago. All you need is a ten mm socket, a drill, and the drain plug bolt socket. Forgot what size that was. The filter on our cars is supposed to be hand loosened and tightened. My cars first oil change was done by me and so will it's last oil change. I want it to love me and so i feed her what she craves. She's my baby and I love her, okay, i'm sorry, i'm getting carried away. The point is, it's a sinch and a very enjoyable experience with your car. Especially when you stop using those cheap oem oil filters the stealership throws on there. Oh yeah, stock up on drain plug gaskets too. Do it like a pro.

Replacing those gaskets is a joke, I've never changed the one on myG35 and only would if I noticed a leak/drip from the bolt. I changed the one on my last Z twice in 125K miles, it's not something that needs to be done regularly! Oil filters s/b hand tight plus 1/4 turn, that's been the rule for at least 50+ years and will require a wrench to remove due to expansion.

you can make the whole drain plug/gasket thing obsolete by getting an oil drain valve. They're secure, not expensive, and after you have it secured in place, you will never have to worry about stripping or damaging the threads from removal/replacement.
