I went to superior nissan this morning to get an oil change and check it if i have any leaks cuz the oil level is almost on low. I always take it to them since they always do a good job. The problem is that they don't want to take my car in cuz I have a greddy lip and they dont want to scratch it up or break it when they take it to the lift. They said that they already broke 2 body kits already and don't want to mess with it anymore. I know I can go to performance nissan but it's kinda too far from where i live (long beach area).
So my question is that for those who has bodykits or lowered z where do you guys take your car for an oil change or which dealership do you guys take your car for maintenance? I know I can do the oil change myself but I have the Maintenance thing that they offered to me when i leased the car. I need to get it checked out before the Santa Barbara Run

 

hmm... that sucks. I just put on my nismo lip but that should be okay rite, since Nissan sells them. (Sorry, I know my comment doesn't help you).

 

Torrance Nissan. Go see Brett in service.

 

Can you just pull off the bumper and take it to them?

 

I can do that but I put a double sided tape on it so it's gonna be a pain in the @$$ to take it off.. I even gave them an idea on how to do it. They just need 2 2x6x8 of wood and use that as a ramp but they won't do it


torrance nissan is that Power NIssan? sorry for the dumb question

 

Yup, that's where I bought my Z from.
Bret is a nice guy... not sure if he knows much about Z's though.

 

just need a dealer that has a lift that is almost thesame height or atleast 2-3 inches above ground and has a great technician that knows what hes doing

 

what about taking the whole front bumper off?

 

Drifter style of zipties would help here

 

I could do that but i won't do it every 3750mile oil change. So to take it off i need to access both wheel wells then take 2 screws on each side another 6 or 8 screws at the bottom of the bumper then 4 plastic tabs on top. thanks for the suggestion but if i can find or someone can recommend a dealer that can do the oil change then it's gonna be more easier

 

does it hve to be at the dealer? i drive 45 min just to go to street image.

 

yeah it has to be a dealer cuz i want them to check why my oil level goes down. oil change was done last march and everything is fine oil level was max then last month it almost drop more than half put in 1 quart of oil then the day after the AC run i checked it again and its almost on the lowest level. plus i wanna use the service plan that i got with the car so i want to use it as much as i can. worst case scenario would be taking it to performance nissan which is 35miles away.

 

Go see brent and tell him about your oil use, he ran a check on my motor and found out my motor was in bad shape after only 26000 miles, he reguested and got me a new motor, this guy will fight for the customer and makes sure everything turns out right

 

thanks for the info Tom. I'll go there on tuesday.. I have thesame mileage right now 26208miles. Do i have to take some mods out? intake, pulley and spacer? I know it doesn't affect the oil consumption of the engine.

 

Have you thought about doing your own oil change? Not much can go wrong except oil splattering all over your face.

 

I'ved thought about changing the oil myself since I'ved been doing it for all of our cars but since i got the service plan i might as well use it and have them check the oil consumption of the engine.

 

Oh yeah sorry I skimmed over such salient info. Do you think Performance Nissan will help you?

 

I might try going to power nissan first to see if they can give me some info for the oil consumption.

 

before i do anything to the car as far as mods i check with him to make sure it does not void my warranty, so far cold air and a craford plenum are ok, dont know about the pulley, good luck tom

 

thanks for the info Tom.
