Just curious what other members are paying for there preventive maintenance services in northern cali area? and what type of products are you using.

 

Since i moved to an apartment, no more DIY.

I pay ~$40 for labor and Mobil 1 0W-40 or 15W-50

 

$27 even

$21.50 Mobile 1 5w-30 5 gallon at Wal-mart

$5.50 OEM Nissan Filter

DIY

 

they sell a 5 gallon mobil1 container for $21.50, i'm in.

My local Wally world sells mobil1 in 4 qt containers, or 1 gallon containers. My Z takes 5 quarts plus the filter, guess every z car is different, huh?

 

took me a little for it to fully register.


If I do it myself $35-40 (Mobil 1 oil & filter)

If I take to shop $50-60 (Places still pimp for Mobil 1)

 

how about...5 qt container in Wally castrol gtx 5w-30, at $13+ and drop by the dealer to pick up an oem oil filter.That is if you do DIY..

 

Don't forget a fresh copper crush washer each time! So add about a buck. I get my M1 from Costco when they have 6qts for $23 though. And I'm pretty sure you meant 5 quart, not 5G! Otherwise, let me know where your WM is located!

 

Just curious, where are you guys picking up your crush washers? I got a few from a friend a while back but I ran out.

 

Dealership's parts department or I grab a few from ZCG when I'm there.

Thanks Scott

You must be going to the dealer?

Local Dealer charged me abouts that much but the also cleaned my Injen CAI Filters too.

 

Off topic,

^zcargarage??

 

Yes Sir

 

ZCarGarage is the only shop I've ever paid to do work on one of my cars (well at least since my 1973 Super Beetle back when I was in college)

 

wow alot of DIY. also another reason im asking. i do run a shop in el sobrane(san pablo area) and i just signed up too a new parts supplier. They give me a great deal on motul/redline lubricants. wanted to see if some members were interested in some preventive maintenance services(only for z/g's). maybe like a once a month special for 350z members? if i can get a couple people interested its a possibility.


MODS****Im not trying to advertise a business(as i have not said a name) just would like to give some fellow z owners a good deal.

 

thanks
