I used to get my oil changed at Doner Nissan in Newmarket. Of course they do synthetic, they will do anything you want as long as they are making money on it.
Honestly though, if you are going to drive to Newmarket might as well go to Simone Performance (on Mulock) and get it done there. Vic and Steve are super cool guys and they are cheaper than the dealer, plus they are hardcore nissan guys so your car is treated right. You can walk in the bays and talk with the mechanics unlike the dealership. No free coffee or muffin, but that's no big deal to me.

i remember when i use to go to the dealership for oil changes, the service rep told me they over charge for synth oil, and suggested that i bring my own to them to save money.
+1 on going to other shops for oil changes. Unless you're hell bent on getting it done at the dealership, you get better service and pricing at just about any other shop.

doing your own oil change ftw? its easy and not time consuming. you can get 5 quarts of castrol syntec 0w30 at autozone right now with a mobile 1 filter for $36.00. save youself $50.00 and do it yourself. its really really really easy. btw, the syntec 0w30 european formula has been proven through oil analysis tests to be the one of the best oils for the VQ.

I used to do all my own oil changes for years.
Now getting rid of the old oil is a problem. I used to have the Convenience of my dad to take it to the shop where he worked. Now he is retired and I dont know anyone close to take it.

Dealerships do offer Oil changes with synthetic oil but one thing you should be weary of is the OEM oil filters.

I took the Z to an oil change place 1 time (brought my own filter) and after wards noticed the plastic belly pan was messed up from them yanking on it. I still take my Jeep there but I now do everything myself when it comes to the Z.

Change your own oil. That way you REALLY know what is used and done right. Its very easy and you will feel good about yourself when done.
Any parts store will take back your old oil.
5 QTS of a synthetic oil (Mobil 1, Castrol, etc) plus a good filter ( pure one, mobil 1, k&n, wix). I would try to stay away from OEM, fram and other cheap junk, if you have a choice.

I live in Newmarket, the first old change I had done was at Alta Nissan with Mobil 1 and a oem filter. It was around $80 with tax. The 2nd oil change I did myself with Mobil 1 and a oem filter, I bought the old on sale and filter from the dealer, it cost me around $52 total.
I have been to Simone Performance, I had my alignment done there, they seem like good guys.
I have also been to Doner Nissan, they were good to me so far. I removed my seats and had to have my obd2 reset to clear a code. The Service manger came out and reset it for free. I also lost my wheel lock key, I bought a new lock set ($50) and he removed the old set and installed the new set for free.
I was also able to get Alta Nissan to reprogram my wheel pressure sensors for free.
I have been told that I can use aftermarket oil but only use a oem filter, should I be buying a Mobil 1 filter instead?

Do a search on here, someone cut open the oem filter. Didn't look so good.
