Default Mobil 1

I'm about 1000 miles away from my second oil change. Just wanted to get everyon'e perspective on Mobil 1. I've used their synth oil during my first oil change at approx 3500 miles and evreything is smooooth! since the z does take 5 quarts, where is the cheapest place to buy the oil. The cheapest I found was 1 quart for 4.83 at Target. How much do you guys pay? Can I buy the oil in larger amounts?

Thanks!

[If you have one in your area] Costco has a case (6 bottles) for just under $24... or ~$4/bottle cost averaged (but not sold seperately).

thx for all the info! i've never changed the oil on my oil, and I wish I had time to do it..but I don't at the moment..perhaps I will in the summer when the weather warms up.

I called nissan and they told me they would charge $20 to change the oil (bring my own)....is this reasonable?

thx

Sounds a little high, mine charges $24.95 and Nissan provides everything, however I opt to do it myself. I even turned down the free oil changes!

My brother works at Express Oil Change... I let him change it, costs me about 40 bucks (would be 45 without my discount). Not bad for Mobil 1 and I just talk to my bro for 15 minutes.

Yep, Wal-Mart pretty much has the best price on Mobil1 Sythetic. Although they don't carry the oil filters for some reason.
