Sorry you had such a run around! I get free oil changes for life and I'm not concerned with getting the oil changed early... I'll be waiting for the 3,750 mile mark.

BTW, if you think they are "free", I got some Montana ocean front property I'd like you to look at........
Forgot to mention, Nissan oil filter number is: 15208-65F0C and is used by infiniti m35/45, exterra, murano, amongst others. Most of them use the VQ35DE or or Qr35DE engine; all this according to the box label.
i hear ya; changing the oil on the corrado is a nightmare. to make matters worse, the last time we had it serviced for a problem, we had the oil changed since they were going to be mucking about down there anyway. turns out they screwed everything back in so tight that we will have to replace several parts just to change the oil again. yet another reason why we will always do our own oil changes from now on!ChristineK said:I do my own oil so this wont be a problem and I am all about synthetic oil. Synthetic costs more but you can go 15K guaranteed with the fully synthetic Mobile, I go 7K for it myself. I cant wait to see what gaggle I find trying to change it.
In the Titan you have to remove an 6 bolt belly pan to access the oil filter, how stupid is that? To top that off the oil filter is totally line fed so they could have located it anywhere but there. :roll:
It just messes up my nails.
I went in for 1 of 2 freebies at the dealer. They didn't care that I had only 1800 miles on it. 1000 more than I wanted for the first change but I couldn't get in sooner. The miles rack up fast when you are havin' fun driving. :yes: They also let me in the shop to inspect the underside while it was on the lift. 8)fotomoto said:The dealership offers a free one at the first schedule but that's not until 3,750 miles.
At least two folks remind me that the first service is free. I smile and nod knowing that they mean at 3,750 miles not the 850 I have on it now.
Well, I didn't pay anything extra for the oil changes when I bought the car and I will not have a bill for the oil change or filter when I take it to the dealer for scheduled changes. I guess I won't know if I'm getting screwed somehow until I actually take it in. But the paperwork specifies that they are using NEW oil and it's all covered under the warranty so even if they aren't using new oil and something goes wrong they have to fix it anyway. And I can get FREE manicures at the dealership while I wait too!ChristineK said:I just have a hard time believing it is free.
Nothing in life is free. Where is the gimmick?
Free cell phone w/ 2 year contract <--not free
You somehow paid for this. Oil change will set you back 30 to 40 for standard car, alot of slick lube joints use reconditioned oil not new, I imagine your free oil is reconditioned too. But hey if the warranty is covered so what. In my area free tires for life is popular but its for stock cheepies, you buy wheels and that deal is off.
You go girlSteel~Gray said:And I can get FREE manicures at the dealership while I wait too!![]()
Yes you did. This "free" program means they have higher operating costs than a dealer who doesn't offer it. Dealerships are in the business of making money not losing or giving it away thus they have to account for these additional operating costs somehow. They did it in the final deal you signed off on.Steel~Gray said:Well, I didn't pay anything extra for the oil changes when I bought the car....
That sucks! I can't believe they MADE you buy the paint protection.none said:I didn't get anything for freeIn fact, I paid over sticker because they required a "paint protection" package... but yesterday I noticed the car had never even been detailed (residue left over from the shipping protectors). So yeah I'd gladly take even ONE free oil change

They tacked it on, claiming they had forgot to mention it. By that point they already had signed over the title to my trade. I suppose I could have grabbed all the paperwork & made a dash for the door or called for a police escort (the finance guy was a huge mo-fo - probably intentional). Too late now. At least I like the product!Steel~Gray said:That sucks!

It was a choice that was offered for me but it wasn't something that I had to do.
