have to do my first oil change on my altima v6 coupe. any tips, on how to get under the car and what to remove to get to the oil filter. on my 03 murano, it was pretty easy, only had to turn the wheels to the right to get access to the filter. thanks, rr70

Replying to: roadrunner70 (May 27, 2008 6:18 pm)  That is worth the 10 or more so dollars they might charge me over and above dealer. At the same time, I am building a business relationship with a competent garage that might have to save my donkey at some future time for a major problem. My next question you is, if you do your own oil change, how are you going to dispose of the old oil?

Replying to: skinsfan3 (May 27, 2008 6:37 pm) You have got to be kidding us! Doing your own oil change in 2008! So, what's wrong with changing your own oil? I do it on all my vehicles, except my BMW (its included for free in the first 4 years of ownership). Its a great way to "stay in touch" with your car, and to keep an eye on the mechanics, tires, CV joints/boots, etc...Of course, you have to be somewhat mechanically inclined to do the work. My next question you is, if you do your own oil change, how are you going to dispose of the old oil? I don't know where you live, but in South Carolina, any auto parts store is required by law to accept used motor oil/filters...it might even be a federal requirement. In addition, the county landfills accept used oil/filters as well. In both cases, there is no charge.

Replying to: skinsfan3 (May 28, 2008 5:50 am) In my earlier days, I restored several cars, including a 1939 Chevy Master 2-door coupe and a 1941 Dodge D-19 3-window business coupe to their original factory showroom conditions. Some folks golf for pleasure...I work on cars.

Upon taking my 1997 Altima in to get an oil change the mechanic shows me that there is oil in one of my spark plug cylinders. The other three cylinders have no oil in them. He says this can be repaired by simply replacing the valve cover gasket ? I read another post that says a leaking value cover gasket will not cause oil to accomulate in a spark plug cylinder. I would appreciate if other members would chime in with their comments. Thanks!
