MID-A,
So I need to get a oil change for the second time so far. I have like 9300 miles on it, I know, I shouldn't have waited this long but I just haven't got around to it since I just drive my car on the weekend or really beautiful sunny days. The first one was free on Sheehy Manassas but I will never go there again and don't recommend anyone else go there. Poor service and take forever. Anyways, I need a shop that treats our Z with care when doing a simple oil change. I have enough room in the garage to do an oil change since I have already did it for my truck but I don't want the clean up anymore and taking the used oil a shop for disposal.

What places do you go to get your oil changed in NOVA?

What type of oil do you use?

Is it a good time to switch to synthetic oil now? Or what mileage is a good time to do it?

PS: I also want to get an inspection in NOVA and was wondering where people take their Z's.

Thanks a lot
~Chris

 

Mobil1, take it to Oil Stop, they're a little expensive ($90-$100) but great for lowered cars since they don't put your car on a lift nor do they jack it up to change your oil. Everyone's a car enthusiast there, talk to em and im sure they'll give you a discount.

It's time for you to switch over, I did it at 8k miles.

If you want an easy inspection, take it to the Sunoco off route 7 near Marshall High School area (they hardly check for anything!), I believe there's a Giant, Long John Silvers, Chevy Chase Bank in the area if you don't know what I'm talking about.

 

I bought my own oil and filter (Mobile 1) and took it to Brown's Nissan in Sterling. They charged me $14 for labor.

 

hell for that much money they better detail the car too.

 

dang baller...

 

fuuny u mentioned that because... They DO!! hahahahaa

 

15000miles Mobile 1 Oil = $25 Filter $8
total $33 for 5000miles...
DIY oil changed.. very easy to do...

 

Try Curry's auto service in chantilly

 

Too bad you guys aren't a little closer to Cumberland, MD...my parents own/operate a Mobil 1 Lube Express there. Thats the best place to get your oil chaged. $60.95 gets you Mobil 1, Mobil 1 Extended Life oil filter, fill all fluids, service & safety check, vac, and windows cleaned in/out!!!

 

American Lube on Route 50 in Falls Church does all my cars with full synthetic for 60 bones each....I change mine every 7500 miles or every 5K if I was running it hard at the track.

Not the cheapest but they are friendly, patient and they installed my HF Cats for cheap and fast, no appointment last minute!!!

 

Fairfax Nissan...talk to Jeff he's a service advisor there. He'll hook you up. Or you can call him and see how much. But tell him "Lek" referred you. So he'll know to hook you up.
