Jiffy Lube coupon. What oil do I tell them to use?

Exactly. Too much fuss over a glorified Nissan. While it's a great car in many ways, you'd have to be a complete rube to pay $40K for the Sedan, no matter how it was configured. And yes, your coupon brought you under where you would have been if you'd done it yourself.
Good for you, PENROSE. How many miles until the next oil change?

Don't know why there is a distinction between paying $40,000 for a sedan or coupe though....?

And I agree about the glorified Nissan comment 100%. This car is nice....but come on....it ain't all that. I would never have paid $40,000+ for this car. For that money I would have a long (long) list of cars I would rather have.
Don't get me wrong...I like the car. But not for $40k. I bought mine because I thought it was a good bang for your buck car (when bought USED).
I got my 2010 X Sedan with 12,000 miles for @ $26,500. Prem Pkg. Blue Slate. Thought that was a pretty fair deal.
I sold my 2010 Autobahn GTI right before I got the G.
With all that said.......I can't wait till the MK7 GTI gets here in about a year and a half because I will be first in line to get one. Until then, I will enjoy this G37. Great car. Already put an ARK on, and Swifts and 19's will be on in a month or two.

Wow. This thread is still going.
Well I am the OP, and YES, I did go to Jiffy Lube. I used the coupon and had to pay extra for the Synthetic. $25 total. That's cheaper than if I did it myself. And they were done in less than 15 min.....cleaned my windows....gave it a quick sweeparoo with the shop vac....checked filters....tire pressure...etc. I watched them the whole time. They added exactly 5.2qts
I really don't think its a big deal (going to Jiffy Lube). They change oil for a living. That's all they do. All day. Why should I think that I can do it better?

if i don't feel like DIY, i frequent a local quick-change place that i've used for years. i trust them, they know me and my attention to detail. i always bring my own oil & filter and they charge me $20 for the labour. i even go down into the "pit" if i feel so inclined to watch what they are doing. they welcome this without hesitation - it's a great way to have a look at things under there (don't know if their insurance carrier would like that)! i doubt many dealers would allow this much access.

As for the price diff between coupe and sedan... I think Infiniti does it because they can, is all.
That does seem a very fair deal. I bought my 2011 used as well, with only 4,000 miles on it, and with a sizeable savings over the same car new. So I relate, and good for you.

It's all good, so rather than saving Jiffy Lube coupons I can get senior discounts on Las Vegas Buffets Not quite there yet though
Ok you young whippersnappers, back off or I'll have to get my cane!

I don't want to do it. I don't feel like it. And its not because I'm lazy or incapable of doing it.
And I do realize its a $40,000 car. Whoop-dee-freakin-doo.
I took my car to Jiffy Lube.
And drove it 400 miles to the beach the very next day.
My car has not exploded yet.

You might save money with a coupon, but I still rather do something that simple myself. You do it once 5k, maybe 2-3 times a year. If you want something done right, do it yourself. It gives me a piece of mind some idiot didn't mess with my car. $40k car comment, you spent the money might as well take care of your investment.

Unless Car Guy... which 99% of these Audi, Merc and Caddy owners aren't.
"$40K car" is just a phrase people throw around to feel self-important. Personally, I don't discuss my salary, the cost of my home, or the cost of my car. That's just the way I was brought up.
