Just changed the oil myself.. very easy
i've seen my brother changing the oil, but never wanted to bother with it. Today since the weather is so nice i decided to do it. Considering i had the big pan to drain the oil to and basic tools handy, it was unbelievably easy task. It also give a great feeling of satisfaction.

Thnx
After jacking up the car I put some wooden blocks next to it under the car, just for security. I didn't come upon any complications. It was easy, quick, and with no problems. I also read the oil change section in the manual before i started.

When I change my oil, I jack up the front of the car, put it on jackstands, then turn the wheel all the way to the right. The plastic splashshield is easy to remove (make sure you have a stubby philips screwdriver handy), and the filter and drain plug is right there. There are several 10mm bolts for the splashshield, and the oil drain plug is 14mm.
The cost for me is around $3.75/qt for Mobil One 5w30 from Costco, and my dealer sells Nissan filters for $5.00 each. So, overall it costs around $25.00 in parts for oil change. The total time required is around one hour, including cleanup and pouring all the old oil into plastic containers. And don't forget the time needed to drive your oil to a recycling center (such as Kragen (I know some places collect it by the curb).
Now, you can get the same service at Jiffy Lube (they use Pennzoil synthetic I think) for around $50.00
It all depends whether changing your own oil is worth your time. For me, it is.

If you need to jack the car up and work under the car, please please get some jack stands. The jack that came with the car is only just enough to lift the car so you can change your flat tire. In a tire changing procedure, if that jack does somehow tip over, at least you would not be under the car.

I've done it before
but I still pay to get it done..
20$ at that 10 min. oil change place about 3 blocks after New Dorp lane, on the left side if going towards the Verazanno and they give a free car wash across the street.. since we have that water restriction thing in NYC that you can't wash your car, it is useful..

When we got our first oil change 2 weekends ago (1800 miles), I asked the Nissan Service guy to show me how to do it. I get it for the most part, but changing the filter seems kinda hard. 
We only went to the dealer to get the oil change because it was free and my dad really wanted to use it...lol But from now on, we are going to buy some Mobil 1 SuperSyn from costco and bring it to a shop to change it for like 10 bucks. I want to learn how to change my own oil not just to save 10 bucks..but to finally become a man.

Definitely invest in some jack stands! I got two 2.25 ton jack stands and a floor jack, all Craftsman brand, at Sears for $25 on sale. Money well spent. Not only is it safer than using the scissors jack that came with the car, it's also much easier to use.
You don't really need to jack your car up to change your oil anyway. Just turn the wheel all the way to the right and take the panel off. On my 4th gen it's just held on by two 10mm bolts and two plastic clips.

This has more response to it than I thouhgt it would. This is like the easiest thing know to man to do. I can change the oil rotate the tires and put brakes on my car in an 1hr. 1hr and 30mins at the most. And not a mechanic either. Just don't believe in letting other people work on my car. I changed my automatic transmission fliud and filter the other day. Nissan has the greatest invention since sliced bread on the trans. pan an actual drain plug for the trans. This was a farley simple task also took me about an 1hr.
