I just got my oil changed from nissan I have been using Mobil 1 but now I switched to whatever synthetic they use at the dealer ship and the oil is leaking out....Is this normal, my Z has 9K miles on it. I started using synthetic @ 3.5K....

 

I don't think 'oil leaking out' is normal.

Time for a service dept. visit.

 

time to kick some idiots A$$....

 

I have decided Busam Nissan in Cincinnati is useless, they tried to charge me for stuff covered in warranty and were very unprofessional...I have decided to return to King's Nissan where I originally purchased the vehicle from....

 

Why did you switch dealers in the first place? Did you get poor service there, tried another dealer got even worse service, and now back to the "just poor service"?

 

Nah I moved here from Boston and I used to know my service guy up in Boston had done a lot of stuff for me....so I just picked the closest dealer here in Cinci....I purchased my car in cinci though while I was visiting my Aunt last year and now I have moved here.

 

DMD - I bought mine @ Falhaber on Colerain Ave. They have been great for me, you might give them a try. Just don't EVER go to Jeff Wyler in Fairfield...

 

Thanks for the info, I will make an appt with them on colerain....

 

No one has asked so I will, where is it leaking from?

 

Not sure, from somewhere up front, inbetween the front tire area undercarriage area.

 

sounds like the drain plug isn't tight

 

Without more description it sure does.

 

CinciZ- (or anybody else with Wyler Fairfield experience) what problems did you have with Wyler? I bought from them but haven't had service yet. Please be as specific as you can. I have heard many good things about Falhaber. I had planned on taking my car in in about 800 miles to switch over to synthetic (at 3k) and for greasy windows....

 

This is why you should change your own oil, cause this way if something goes wrong, you know where the idiot lives.

 

I used to get my Frontier serviced at Falhaber, and they are the best! Thatresidence. I just bought a house in N. College Hill so it looks like I'll be seeing my buddies at Falhaber a bit more often.

I dont have any personal experience with Wyler. Busam was competent enough to treat a major issue with my Frontier once. The SERVICE guys at Kings are excellent too, but I only go there for Z service because it is only about a mile from my residence. But a guy I know didnt have a good experience with their salesmen on his pre-ordered Z.

 

No. More than likely they changed the oil without taking the black under-panel or shield off and they spilled some oil on top of it. That would cause small drips onto the pavement until it "runs dry". Then, it should not drip any more.

This is why I remove the panel when I change my oil. It's a pain, but it makes the job easier and cleaner in the long run.

If this is not what you see happening, get the car back to the dealer as soon as you can to get it fixed.

I agree with WayneTN. If the service people took the oil filter off without removing the under-panel, oil will drip down and collect on the top of the panel. This is most likely what happened. Most service guys are lazy and don't care if they spill oil all over the place.
