Hello. Just changed my oil and filter today for the first time at 4000k miles. It was much more easier than I thought. I brought my own oil and filter to a local auto shop and they charge me $10 labor. Basically $10 to use their car lift. I wish I had a car lift at home!! LOL. Originally I planned to do it myself but using driving ramps was scary and I don't really know where the center jack point is(so I can jack the front of the car up with a floor jack).

Ok. You simply remove 4 bolts and the small plastic cover folds down to reveal the drain plug and filter. The oem oil filter looks tiny.

I plan to use syntec blend(Either castrol, valvoline or 76unocal) with Purlator one at every 4000 to 5000k miles. Purlator one seems good because it says 98% clean efficient, Fram tough guard is 99% but the filter looks half the size of Purlator, Mobil 1 says 99% but the price too way to high, Bosch prem. is 98% too.

i havnt look at our oil filter but when I changed the oil filter on a family members 04 maxima i was suprised at how tiny the oil filter was

 

i have heard that you should wait at least 15k miles before switching over to a synthetic

 

10K Mi. is OK. Thats when i changed over.

 

i thought they had a door for the filter? maybe i didnt look carefully there was a pic of the underside somewhere and I thought i saw some sort of door like thing...

 

yups thats it.

 

there are many cars that come with mobil one synthetic from the factory. the 350z being one of them. suprajjang, the g's filter is the exact same as on the maxima.

 

do you know if our G35's come with synthetic from the factory?
