How can you be sure that the dealer put the oil you specified?

I don't think it matters much at all which synthetic oil most of you guys use since you are changing it every 3K miles or so. You are really just wasting money by putting in synthetic if you are just going to change it on regular intervals IMO. It's mostly marketing hype.

I used to use it. I personally had no problems in lots of miles on my old car. It will easily get you 5K mile intervals, you can up to 7500 miles between changes per Infiniti if you are not in severe service. I used to use it with 8K to 10K intervals an older Nisssan for over 200K miles. You should have no problems.

However I purchased a maintenance plan with 3750 OCI so Infiniti will be doing the changes with their overpriced Ester.

I was warned today by my service manager at the dealer that they would not do any more warranty work on my car if they ran into an oil-related problem and I couldn't provide proof of an oil change (meaning, a receipt from a professional shop). I've changed my oil in all my cars for 20 years. I know how to do it. They're saying that I need to start bringing it in from now on, just to make sure the car is being treated right. This blew my mind. I'm going to post a larger question thread about it.
