That's why I do my own.
How do you find these women? My wife doesn't even find it sexy when I'm saving her $1,000 by doing the 90,000 maintenance on her car.the girl finds it sexy when I'm working on the T :teethmast
What we have in the above photo is a number of accidents waiting to happen:
So I figured this morning would be great to change my oil at home (considering I have the time). Pulled the skid plate off, drained the oil, pulled the filter off (only used my hand :eyebrow: ) and to my discovery the quick oil station I went to last didn't even put on the right filter. Looks like it belongs in a VW bug. I don't even want to think of the oil they put in, especially since I said Mobil 1 and they charged me around $80 to do it. :flame:
Word to the wise - take an hour to change it yourself. You'll know you're getting what you paid for, and you'll feel better doing it on your own ( and TBH, the girl finds it sexy when I'm working on the T :teethmast)

Nissan has a shorter filter for the 3.5 like on the Maxima, the longer filter is like the one the Titan and others uses. These jiffy lubes probably only carry the one filter which works for both. Why stock two filters? you wanted a cheap oil change, that's what you got. All nissan filters come with bypass vavles but are now made in china with cardboard caps.Actually, that is the correct filter, just the cheapest one possible. The longer one has a safety bypass valve to keep oil from reversing back through the filter, therefore keeping the oil above the filter which reduces wear on the engine during start up from lack of oil until the oil pump kicks in. The longer, more expensive filters do have the safety bypass valve built in to keep oil above the filter and not draining back into the oil pan. But, for spending $80, you would think they would have put in a filter with the safety bypass valve rather than that cheap piece of tin they call a filter.
