Dealer Oil Change

So I'm near 4K on my G37 Coupe and I'm in need of an oil change. Been doing some research on this site and there is a ton of debate about what oil is better blah blah blah, but my question is where can I go to get it done besides the dealer. Only Infiniti dealer in KC wants $119, which is a joke. I was just curious if anyone had any suggestions besides "do it yourself".

That's nothing! My dealer wants $199 for Full Synthetic Oil! Change is every 6 months or 7,500 miles. Now that's a rip off! They are the only dealer close to me without having to drive 50+ miles.

Thats ridiculous, mobile 1 fully synthetic is less than 20 bucks plus a $10 filter which is no more than $30-5.

I get them at the dealer for 59, which i only do because i don't have time to do it myself.

anything over 60+ is ridiculous, plus you need(recommended) them every 3500 miles. so thats be like 199 every 2-3 months.

I dont understand how these prices are legal let alone fair? I called my local metro Detroit Infiniti in the city of Troy and they say it's 44.95 for conventional change, 89.99 for full synthetic w/OEM filter, and 23.99 for labor + washer drain only (if you bring your own oil + filter)

xtrememan315, I took my car to major Infiniti for my first oil change. I think I paid no more than $30. Call the service dept and ask to speak to Dave and only Dave. He is good people.
