It's your lucky day I guess, or maybe the part manager got a thing for you

P.S. what's wrong with taking Z to a dealer for oil change? The only place I do oil change for my Z is the dealer that I bought my Z.

Fo reel dough. Stupid POS quick lube places are complete garbage. They throw in whatever oil they want over torque your filter, undertorque your oilpan bolt, forget to screw on the engine oil filler cap...

you just reach your hand up and grab the oil filter. and if you wanted to take it off there are just a couple bolts. it is the same as any other car when it comes to changing it. dont let nissan lie to you

Its very easy, doing it tomorrow actually. There are 14 or so bolts on the bottom plastic panel that you must remove in order to get to the filter. After that, its cake.

Dealer only charged me $39.64 labor to put on my Nismo exhaust. I watched the mechanic put it on.

The dealer I go to (only one in town) does an excellent job. There is a window between the waiting area and the shop so you can watch the mechanics work on your vehicle. They always use a light and check the whole under side of my car while it is on the lift, check tire pressures and fluid levels and if I would let them they would wash the car when done.

I also paid $229.00 for a lifetime LOF when I bought the car. I get a free oil change every 3000 miles or 90 days and they use synthetic oil.

A little louder and deeper does'nt really justify 1k

You could say the same thing about any cosmetic mod, bodykits, paint, etc...

It's a 'sensory' upgrade

Thats true lol.. IMO stock Z sounds great as is.. And as the person above me stated tad bit deeper + 1k did'nt add up to me.

Pehaps when i actually hear one my mind will change
