I just recently talked to Nima through email about oil changes, and he told me that they use 76 synthetic blend oil with the oem nissan oil filter. Does anyone have any experience with 76 synthetic blend oil? I've always used Mobil 1 in my past cars. I'm heading over there tomorrow for my oil change so hopefully it's good stuff.

It's crazy how fast Corner3 replies to your emails. They also answer all your questions just like how everyone else says.

+1 for Corner3 Garage

 

It's good. My car runs fine.

 

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll just go with their oil and filter. Can't beat the price anywhere else. Thanks again.

 

you can request any oil you would like and they should hook you up.

Very cool guys over there

 

you can go from mobil 1 full synthetic to synthetic blend?

sorry if this is a dumb question. Just trying to edumacate myself. I thought once you go synthetic, you can't go back.

 

What do they charge?

 

:: i've heard alot of good stuff from them...but they charge a little too much for installation's ...they wanted 500 bucks to change my pulley set for the stock ones...and super auto bacs just charged me 150 to change them...but hey i heard that they could install anything there..and they have the best pple to work with plus i've talked to Nima a couple of times...good guy!!

 

im sure you could buy your own and bring it to them

 

+100000000000000000000000000000000000 for Corner3 Garage! Steve and Nima are stand up guys who will definately take care of you!

 

no no haha. what i meant was i use to use mobil 1 on my past cars before the Z. this will be my first oil change with the Z.

yeah i agree, from just talking to him through emails i feel like he is a good guy haha.

yeah, thats what i was thinking about doing. im hearing good things about castrol syntec 5w-30. i would have gone with the german blend, but i can't find it anywhere and i heard that its being discontinued.

thanks for all your guys help
much appreciated

 

i doubt there's any problem going from mobil 1 to other synthetic blends. when you're there at corner3, ask steve. he'll tell u more in detail im sure.

also, dont forget to congratulate nima... he's getting married in a few months. =)

 

I found the european 0W-30 at Autozone for $6 a quart. Car runs well. I also went from Mobile1 synthetic to Castrol, again no issues.

 

corner 3 rocks.. they actually made time for my car because of the situation i was in

 

just got back from corner3 and i must say nima treats his customers very well haha. like everyone says, he is very knowledgeable of cars and i plan to go there for future whatever car needs haha.

i saw another Z there on a lift with its engine and tranny out. black with rims (dont know which ones) and an aftermarket exhaust. seats were pulled out too. anyone here own that car??

 

glad you had a great experience. steve and nima are awesome.

they truely are one of the very few shops that have our (the customer's) best interest in mind.

 

Corner 3 are really good guys. I checked them out too and I really like the shop. Unfortunately like Arc said, they do charge significantly more for some things like installs on parts, but if you can afford it, they really do care for your car and make their work on your car very accessible to you.

I wish their prices were more competitive because I would have liked to take all my stuff to them but I understand if they didn't charge what they do as a smaller independant business they would go out of business because its a one man show there with Steve doing all the substantive work on cars.

 

I completely disagree about corner 3 charging more than other places. They charge about 1/2 the price of other places. You really have to go in person, rather than getting a quote over the phone.

 

Corner3 has def been a blessing I would recommend them to anyone...prices are very reasonable as well - steve is very practical and has tons of knowledge w/ the VQ - you won't be dissapointed.

 

their standard rate is $37.50 for every 1/2 hour... which is reasonable. (i.e. nismo exhaust install = $75) not the cheapest of course; i've seen cheaper, but not by a considerable amount.

peace of mind, well-done job, and honest service.... I truly don't mind paying extra 10-20 more bucks an hour for those.

 

wow $150 @ Autobacs in Stanton?

i guess thats a pretty good price

i better bring this up with the guys @ Corner3
