Will Infiniti do anything to fix it? Just how bad is it, if I change every 3k miles am I good?

Ah okay thanks I don't wanna start a new thread but I noticed the 2006 I'm going to buy the headlights loook like ****. My dad has The same year and they look real good. Should I try a product on them or replace the whole thing? I wouldn't mind after market lights depending on the price. What is an approximate minimum it would cost me?

not worth the price of new ones, you can wet sand them and they'll look like new...search around the forum a bit regarding that

If I wanted after market headlights kinda like BMWs have, is that replacing just The bulb or the whole housing? How much should I expect to spend ?

I usually get my oil changes from Walmart, usually the $30 oil change...is that bad? I know they use brand name oil I think penzoil or something.
What kind of oil should I put in this once I buy my car next week? Is Walmarts $30 oil changes sufficient?

Rev-ups are 05-07 6mt, they have a few extra things that other gs dont, like dual valve timing, Infiniti marketed them at 298hp, while the nons were marketed at 280hp I think
