Yes... I bring my own oil and filter though. The dealer charges $11 for the labor. The car gets an inspection(tire depth, filters, etc) and wiper fluid topped off. I always decline the free car wash lol (no auto wash and brushes for my paint).
Although the oil change, especially in these cars, is an easy DIY.. I have elite warranty coverage on my car til '19 and like having the service record on file rather than keeping receipts. Plus, DIY oil change in the winter months is not that fun in an unheated garage.

I am planning to take it to a nissan dealer for 60K maintenance(I am actually a little late at 61.5K, but at the time of purchase 58.5K the oil was just changed , new tires etc so I didn't take it at 60k immediately). since there are no infiniti dealers close by.
What should I look for? Should I bring my oil and filter(can you give exact name/brand/model? ), is the oem nissan parts that bad for our infinitis?
If so what other things I should bring?

Fishers, IN Nissan dealership.
That's not a Nissan dealer the last I checked
I wouldn't go to D&R unless warranty/TSB work-- I don't feel like they have any service writers that care or people that are customer facing that can do much more than cater to the soccer mom's bringing QX's in and whatnot. They have a few enthusiasts actually wrenching still, but they usually move on to Nissan dealerships around the area (go figure). Butler used to charge $11 and spinna01's post made me dig up my last invoice because I thought the figure he quoted rang a bell, $12.95 labor is what Ed Martin charged me a couple months back. They always ring it up as a full oil change and then see the notes I brought in my oil and filter... then the discounted price (labor only) rings up.

A quick note about the Royal Purple. My Nissan dealership had a quick service center (oil changes, fluids, etc) where you don't need an appointment. They have 2 service bays dedicated for this. Well the first time I used Royal Purple I got home and checked my level and it was not purple. The tech snagged my 5 quarts and put whatever in. The next day I called the service mgr and he was suspect until I said, "do you really think I would go home, drain my Royal Purple and put regular oil in just so I could complain". He realized yeah, the tech probably stole it. Got a year of free (labor) oil changes.
I would use synthetic oil if I were you, do some research and pick your brand (I used to use Royal Purple, too expensive, switched to Mobil1), for filter, again do research and you can buy it at Walmart or any Auto parts store ... or just let them use the Nissan filter (I did). I believe the transmission fluid calls for synthetic as well. Just tell the dealer you want synthetic and let them worry about brand.

Oil against Oil..Side by side Oil Comparison
Nothing proves a point better than data. If you don't see AMSoil in the study or using any standards to test by, then most likely it was excluded due to the fact it is not commercially available or it is someones opinion.
The difference between the top 4 are negotiable and could come down to price based on service intervals or warranty claims.
