just an fyi for those with Mod on the car.
Just got back from there and they won't even do an oil change on my car, stating that my car has alot of aftermarket parts and they cannot lift the car.....

the search continues..... we need a Performance Nissan up here!!!

 

performance nissan is probably the only mod-friendly dealership other than mossy nissan in san diego in california.

 

dayum! that's where i regularly get my oil changed. sure wish jim was still there. he was cool with me having modz. . so where did you end up doing your oil change?

 

yeah, Jim was cool, but Julie said he left to become a chef!!

I didn't do an oil change today. Probably gonna take it to Rob @ zcar garage if I get lazy and don't want to change it out myself.

 

I get my oil changed there and I have many mods but no aero mods. Probably the issue with them.

i get synthetic oil for an extra charge but htey have no problem doing this.

 

Chef? Shop Manager to a Chef? Interesting

Must be a hidden talent of Jim's. We should try and get him to cook for us on future BBQ outings

 

I got my oil change at Stevens Creek. They did give me crap because it took extra long for them to put my car in the lift. Now that I have a lip, may be I'll need to take it else where!! Lucky I got a $50 gift cert from Z car garage!!!

 

i go to speedee, where you drive over a pit.
no hassle with lifts or anything.
costs about $50-60 for mobil 1.
and it takes them 15 mins to change oil, vaccuum the interior, clean your windows, etc.
they even let me stay there and watch (i don' t think they are suppose let me tho)

 

Damn... i get mine done at dublin nissan for $21 bucks...

I guess the Veilside V1 kit doesnt get in the way of the lifts...

 

Nothing beats DIY!!

Dave, you have a garage. Make good use of it!!

 

just rather pay someone $20 to change my oil
I DIY everything else

 

Damn man, how have you been? Should come out some time!!

 

Hey Moodie!! I'm still alive and doing fine. Haven't had much time to join you guys due to my busy schedule and house work/projects on weekends. Someday, I will.....

 

How about tomorrow??? Just stop by and catch up! A lot of mods on many cars since you last visited.

 

You should try to make it out sometime man. You and Yuichi were the first guys I met and I never see either of you around!

Like Moodie said, a bunch of these guys have added mods, it'd be worth checking out.

 

Sorry guys, just logged on and saw your messages. My girl and I drove down to Bakersfield last nite to celebrate the new year at the new house. We also stopped by at the local MB dealer and ordered an SLK55 AMG. Scheduled delivery around April or May. I'll bring that to a meet sometime .

 

speaking of which guys, I'm gonna change my oil for the first time, how many qts of oil approx do i need (of course i am changing my oil filter also)?

 

Just grab a 5qt Mobil1 bottle at Walmart ($21). As for oil filter, go w/ the stock Nissan filter or Mobil1 filter. Don't know what the part #s are though.

 

Thanks MGV, so it's exactly 5qts for the motor?

 

Yes. Unless you have the JWT oil spacer or the APS oil pan.
