And the G uses 5 quarts? so thats either $60 or $45 depending on the oil you choose, and how much is labor?

I bought my G37 this October. My dealer recently called me to come in for an oil change in Jan (they want to change oil every 3 months). $90 for change using dino oil. 4th oil change is free. So basically 4 oil changes for $270. Should I stick to dino oil or go synthetic? My Nissan dealer for my Maxima does dino oil change for $30 bucks...

Well, Here's the dilemma. I do not claim to be knowledgeable about cars - not yet. Simply because I have not paid much attention to it so far. My Max is '98 GLE. My modus operandi for the last 1 year has been to take it to the dealer for oil change, and dutifully listen to their complaints about all the things that is wrong with the car. Then come home, research the FSM, buy parts from Pepboys / autozone et. al., and do the repairs myself. Actually I have been saving so much (considering a 11 year old Max), that wifey had no problems when I went slightly crazy in Sears this thanksgiving buying tools all in the name of car repairs . Recent achievements include spark plug change, oil pressure switch, PCV valve etc. etc. So oil change should be piece of cake.
I feel that I would miss out on the "free diagnostics" if I do not go into the dealerships once in a while with the G37... what to do?

And yes, $90 dino oil changes on this car is rape. You should be getting magical Nissan Ester oil for that price. Buy synthetic for $30, a filter for $6 and change it yourself in 30 minutes if you're a novice.

I can do 7 oil changes for $270 using premium synthetic oil, 13 with conventional oil. Never get another dealership oil change in your life unless it's free!

Had my local Nissan dealer do the full 7500 mile service yesterday. Did the oil change using Nissan Ester oil, plus rotate the tires, plus top the fluids and all the standard inspections. Total cost was $103 including tax and disposal fees. The oil change itself cost $74 which is only $45 more than using dino and the same as they charge for Mobil 1.
