Could be they didnt reset your Oil light. I wouldnt use the 7000 mile oil. Stick with just a full synthetic and change every 3-3500 miles. U can check your oil from the dipstick and see if its a light brown and not black. Be sure to let the motor sit turned off for about 5 minutes before checking oil. I would probaly call and go off on the dealership for not doing there job not once but twice. I had numerous problems and was lied to numerous times when getting my car serviced at Infiniti. It came to the point to where I wouldnt take it there UNLESS it was a warranty issue. If u cant do the basic services yourself then I would find a local shop (Firestone, Goodyear, Jiffy Lube, Valvoline etc.) that you can trust and have a good reputation. It will also save you alot of money in the long run. Hope I helped.

^ follow what he said to check if the oil change was done or not cause its very possible that they forgot to reset the maintaince meter.
Also if you are using high quality full synthetic then i recommend 5k change interval as 3-3.5k is an overkill with full syn imo even the manual suggests 3750 on reg oil, of course everyone will have their own opinion ranging between 3.5-7.5k but 5k is a great safe interval with syn as long as you keep checking the level every so often

yeah why did you use 40? the manufacturer calls for 5w30. 40 is thicker, that would explain lower mileage. Maybe stick with 30 next time.

^ uh yea 0W40 is just fine for the VQ. And Thicker weights will lower mpg

Can you PM me your results, I am interested.
