oil-fouled spark plugs, oil leaks caused by oil seal failure or engine damage due to oil foaming.

yes they are, along with nissan, and subaru dealers and pretty much every other dealer.

my dad took his g35 to the dealer to change his oil and they didnt secure the underneath plastic engine cover and it came loose while driving!!! he was so pissed.

people... do yourselves a favor and learn how to change your own oil!! its cheaper and you'll know you did it right.
