Hi I have a 2004 G35 Coupe w/ 19500 miles. I have been taking my car to the dealer for regular oil changes (2500, 7500, & 12500 miles) but now I want to start doing it myself.

If any car buffs would like to teach me let me know. It has been almost 7000 miles since my last oil change. I have been using Mobil 1 10W-40 Full synthetic w/ a Mobil 1 M1-110 filter for the last three changes. I have the filter and oil already I just need a teacher.

I would prefer you come to my house in Arcadia, or I can go to your house/shop if you live/work close to me.

I can offer some cash, buy you lunch, whatever.

Thanks.

Its really not that hard that someone has to come to your house. Open the hood. Unscrew the oil cap. Jack the car up or if you have ramps use them. Take that black plastic piece off. There are like 10 screws. You will see the oil filter plus the oil pluge. Put an oil pan down. Unscrew the oil plug drain the oil out. Unscrew the oil filter. Put the new filter on then screw the oil plug. Put the plastic piece back.Jack the car down and add your oil into the oil hole. Put the oil cap on. Your done. Its a pain in the butt to do because that plastic piece has so many screws. And you have to get rid of the oil. I get my oil done for $40 buck for synthtic so I dont do mine anymore.

 

THE definitive g35 oil change guide is over at g-owners, check it out:

lol.
actually its a bit annoying on the g.

 

well a local shop said they will do it for $15 if I supply my oil and filter but I'm an engineer so I owe it to myself to learn.. I will check out that guide. Thanks alot Kajoob

 

engineering experience is unnecessary. i did my first oil change myself at 17 on the G. just have a friend supervise in case.

 

hm actually i go to arcadia alot.. i'll teach you.. tell u where to get the tools and supplies and everything.. oil changes will cost u around $30 at most in hardware and $22+$6 for every FULL-SYN oil change =) IM me on AIM riceboi104
