What is a good place/name to get my oil changed? I am in the Richardson area at UTD and desperately need it changed soon. If anyone has a lift or ramps that I could use that would help me out a lot (I am a poor college student *need to start thinking creatively*)

Any help would be great. Right now I am on the campus computers because the wireless in the apartments is going to take a while to set up. My number is 832 283 2318 - welcome to call anytime.

Courtesy Nissan in Richardson has a very good reputation. I'd try them.

 

Courtesy's service isnt as good as their parts dept. trust me. Try Bankston Nissan in Dallas which is a few miles from their Tim Dick is a nice guy over their in Service!

 

you dont even need a lift or ramps.. just use a jack .. its not difficult at all

 

I'm goin' to the new Wal-Mart by my place. They did a good job on my truck (Mobil 1) for only $32. Thats practically just what the oil costs! They would prime the filter for me, and I always watched.

Imma go pick up a Nissan oil filter at Grubbs on Saturday and drop it by Wal-Mart...it doesn't even take them very long.

Edit: I am switchin to Mobil One on my car this weekend...yaay!

 

got mine done yesterday by this random place i chose close to the school called hi five auto. seemed like they did a good job. cost 13 bucks, castrol 5w-30 full synthetic costs about 25 and fram filter cost about 6 or so. the castrol seems to run very clean so far no problems.

 

mmm riight. mm-kaaaay im going to have to ask you to upgrade to a Nissan oil filter next time okaay? fram isn't good enough for our Zs...didn't you get the memo?

 

?

never really thought about it. why is the nissan oil filter that much better?

 

Got to agree with gooters.
I have a friend who is a Nissan Master Mechanic.
He's always told me if I HAVE to cut corners, do it on everything except the oil and air filters.....ALWAYS use Nissan Brand.
With your discount at Courtesy Nissan in Dallas, or Sterling McCall in Houston, they're no more expensive than Fram.
I always keep a spare of each sittin' on the shelf in my garage.
It sure amazes me what a t-i-n-y little sucker that oil filter is.
