Funny thing is, i get a similar postcard from a Nissan dealership, owned by the same company (i had a Nissan before) offering the same thing, for $24.95.
Where you at? that a pretty dang good deal compared to the 45.50 for the regular Dino stuff.

Location: Garage on ramps.

Cheats: Replaced the oil pan plug with a sure drain and made a "catch pan" from a hacked up cranberry juice container for the oil filter so I can use that little door flap thingy instead of removing the entire under body air dam doo-hicky and not get oil on the front sway bar and in the air dam.

Personally, I'm going with synthetic oil and 7500 mile intervals.
You know what u should do is get a sample of your oil and take to Fininng or Caterpillar some1 who can test your oil to see whats in the and they"ll tell ya wen to change it..

I used to take my car to the infiniti dealership and they'd charge me a little bit more but I'd get a free carwash. The downside was, the carwash sucked. Sure, it was a handwash but I don't think they cleaned their towels between each wash. It always came back with smeared water spots. I had to start telling them to not wash the car. Ultimately I stopped going there all together.

I love it! it went together pretty easily, the only problem i had was cutting the provided crankcase vent hose to fit right. no noise at crusing but when you get on it the thing screams!! got it off ebay free shipping 350 bucks.

Which houston dealer? West houston is the one that quoted me the 39.95 for Dino

they're the same dealership (Nissan + Infiniti) but each "brand" has it's own service center and they don't allow cars from Infiniti to use Nissan's and vica versa. Our service center is more luxurious anyway (we got massage seats hehe)

Do yourself a favor and use at least a Napa Gold Wix filter. I think the Fram is one of the worst you can use (do some searches and you'll see many threads with the same conclusion). You can use the Maxima filter as a direct replacement, and it'll be a little larger than the specific G filter (if size matters to you )

The Napa will cost a couple bucks more, but you can be assured you're getting a much better filter.
