In the past, I've always changed all my own oil and done the vast majority of maintenance things myself. However, now that I own the G, and knowing about the oil consumption issue -- according to what I've read on here, if my G ever starts consuming oil and winds up needing the engine replacement TSB, I have to be able to prove that I've had all my oil changes and whatnot done by Infiniti.

If I'm wrong on any of that, PLEASE correct me!

Anyway .. to my question. I live in the Harrisburg, PA area -- and the closest Infiniti dealership is 50 miles away in Maryland! That's a loooooong way to drive for a lousy oil change. So considering that fact, is it 'legal' to bring my G to a Nissan dealership for oil changes -- since there's one of them right in Harrisburg? Or do I absolutely HAVE to take my G to an Infiniti dealership?

Thanks much!

 

How far are you from Ardmore,PA I know there is a Infiniti dealer right on Lancaster Ave if thats closer than MD? I dont know tho.

 

I'm 85 miles from Admore -- so that's even worse.

 

Since Nissan Corporation is Infiniti's Parent company, I would see no problem....as long as you can document that your preforming your oil changes in accordance with the Infiniti service booklet they cannot turn you down on a claim....
For that matter, if you do all the oil changes yourself, all you need is your reciepts showing the date and oil and filter and they could not turn you down. As long as your using oil and filters that meets or exceeds the manufacturers specs you would still have ground to stand on.

I just started working for Nissan, and I had my oil changed there as well. $30 w/ my discount 8o)

 

^^ Awesome, thank you!

 

Cindy I have taken mine to Lancaster Nissan for all my oil changes. They charge like $35 and have been great to deal with. You can get any service or maintenance work done at Nissan, you just can only have Infiniti do warranty work though.
