Talk about how you change your oil and filter, brand,cost and service fee?
I got a quote from maintenance service form dealer, its $50 for change engine oil and filter, does it include the oil and filter or only the service fee, does it worth?

$50 is going to include oil and a filter. It's on the expensive side if it's for conventional oil. The "General Tech Questions" forum will have more information than you ever needed to know about oil.

I would do it yourself. I use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and a Purolator Pure One filter.

Pennzoil Platinum and Purolator PureOne #14612. The 14612 is for the M35, is a bit bigger, but fits the G37 just fine.

I've modified my oil change routine, I used to do 5000 Km's between oil changes with Mobil 1 Synthetic 5W-30 and an OEM Nissan Filter; it would cost me less than $50 (Canadian Dollars). However, I've extend the range and go 8000km's between oil changes and use Castrol Edge Titanium available at the local Costco warehouse.

It's a very simple task to do as long as you have the tools.

Autozone is currently running a special on the Penn Plat. I'm going with the K&N filter for the M56.

I always change the oil drain hole washer even though it's not a crush washer. I do the plug itself every two changes. Which is every 15K miles. It's not dusty here, mostly highway, and I wait at least 90 seconds on a cold engine before pulling away.

Here you go. Read up, Buddy.

Buy filters online, and synthetic oil on sale at the big box stores like Walmart... and if you change your own oil, you'll be spending lots less for quality components, processed correctly by you.


Of course that includes oil and filter. What are you asking a car forum for? Just pick up the phone and ask them.

And yes it's too much money. But if it's worth it to you, then it's money well spent.

Yeah Autozone is having a sale buy Mobil 1 oil and get a Mobil 1 filter free. I bought the Mobil 1 0W-40 with M-110 filter for $35 then sent in for the $15 Mobil rebate.

Lol. I don't think I've ever replaced that washer on any car I've ever owned.

I've been using copper crush washers on our cars. Works fine, costs virtually nothing for a pack of washers.

Replacing the plug bolt as a matter of maintenance... that doesn't make any sense to me at all.
