Is it true that we are suppose to do oil changes every 7,500/6 months now instead of 3750/3months?

I just called my local dealership to make an appointment for my first oil change since its been 3 months but I was told that I did not need to do one until our 7,500 miles/6 months service. She stated that they received word (2 weeks ago) from Infiniti that the oil used for the G37s are somewhat synthetic and that we are only required to change oil with our 7,500miles/6 months service. Please advise.

Thanks,

either shes being real nice and inform u the news, or she doesnt know what shes talking about haha.

it also depends on how much u love ur car and want it to run smoothly!

one of my friend, this girl she had a 03 330 ci, she drove it for 25k miles straight without changing the oil and it was still running prety good. i asked her and all she told me was "oil change? whats that? why do i need it? the car runs fine" LOL hahahaha

 

i just had my first oil change today and my cat has only 3120miles and they dont use synthetic they have some new oil called ester.So i dont know that she is talking about .

 

LOL tell her to open up her engine and look in there. bet she won't be too happy

 

I went to the dealership today and they still recommended I change my first oil at 7,500 miles because they said I'm using Ester full Synthetic oil. For just an oil change at 7,500 they are charging $199.99!!! Is anyone getting this same price?!? For that price, I expect atleast 15,000 miles/1yr not half a year.

 

My dealer charges $60 for an oil change but interestingly enough, they send out flyers with specials at $29.99.

 

I'm changing mine at 3750 regardless!!!!!

 

I just got my First oil change with Ester oil at the dealership for 94.00...N yea no matter what they say im changing my oil every 3750 miles.

 

The Nissan Ester oil is conventional oil, not synthetic. Unless they changed your oil at delivery to RedLine, Motul or Eneos, you do not have ester based synthetic.

 

I just got mine done yesterday. 3800 Miles on mine and they used 5w-30 synthetic oil according to the paper work.

 

got mine done friday and they charged me 49 bucks. the slip said castrol when it listed the oil they used.

 

My first 6 oil changes are free....but im running MOBILE 1 Synthetic 15k oil...

 

That's correct for normal driving conditions.

 

isn't all of our first oil change free? that's what I thought...

 

My first year of service is free. They did a 1000 mile inspection and recommend the first change at 3750 miles, after that, 7500 mile changes, per owners manual based on normal use. My Acura RL had a maintenace minder which took into account driving style, average engine speeds, time and mileage. The car basically told me I needed service roughly every 7500 miles. I'll most likely do the same with the Infiniti. I'm not aware of any good evidence to suggest more frequent oil changes will benefit the car, or the environment for that matter, based on similar driving factors.
