Here you go.

Tools Needed:
Telephone, or Mobile Phone
Check Book, or Credit Card

Step 1
Contact your nearest Infiniti dealership.

Step 2
Ask the cute blonde behind the counter for the service department.

Step 3
Make appointment for oil change.

Step 4
Take car to dealer for oil change.

Step 5
Hit on cute blond girl that answers the phone & get her number.

Step 6
Look like a pimp picking up your freshly serviced G.

24.95 for an oil change at the dealership? Is it really that cheap?

Maybe you forgot a 1 in the front or switched your 2 and 4...?

The nice thing about getting the oil change at the dealership is that they have the record that proves that you have been changing the oil. I have paid $25 - $55 on the two oil changes.

Oh wait, you forgot the rest:

Step 7
Find scratches on your car that you could've sworn weren't there before, swirl marks left from them washing your car, missing retainer clips that you could've sworn were there before, and an extra $5 charge for windshield washer fluid when yours was already full! ... only to realize by the end of the day, you were probably better off doing it all by yourself, and that phone # that the blonde left doesn't work

I agree. I am actually planning on giving them the Mobil 1 Synthetic and oil filter and just paying for around $15 for the labor each change.

My car comes with free oil changes for the duration of my lease every 3750 miles or so.

But if I were to do my own changes, I'd want to use an extractor. It made both oil changes a breeze on my old e46. Can't you use one on the G?

Hmm, I never had any problems with the oil changes from the dealer. I do agree that having your car washed from them is a big mistake. I allways check there work before I leave.

I made a laminated Do Not Wash sign for my car when I have to take it to the dealer.

Freaking factory was on so tight the first time I changed the oil, I had to use the screwdriver method.
