btw, pepboys had a huge sale on mobil1 for the past few months. purchase a MADD calendar and there was a buy 3, get 3 free mobil 1 coupon within that. the calendar was a dollar, so this made it very worth while. i'm sure most of you know this though.

If your gasgets have not sealed by then, they never will. I think I used castrol or syntec my first change, then switched to full synthetic. I never use any oil between changes, the car is great and I have 11500 miles on it now.What I want to know is about the A.T fluid. Is there a synthetic approved for use by Infiniti?

I also looked into a synthetic for the AT fluid. Anything other than the approved Jmatic fluid
will void your warranty! Just don't do it

The filter and oil pan are easy to get to. It is a pain in the a$$ to remove the plastic cover under the car as I recall you have to loosen about 16 screws to remove the cover

Poor design from Nissan.
