Add to that the quickie oil change places are scared of stripping the bolt and breaking the plastic pan so they have to “evac” the oil out instead of draining it which means it’s rarely a quick stop.

The oil pan in plastic with a brass fitting for the drain plug. I’ve been changing the oil myself and the whole fitting came out. The dealership has a replacement oil pan that is still plastic and the new drain plug is plastic and one time use. Every oil change you will need to buy a new drain plug. They wanted $265. Had to purchase an aftermarket aluminum oil pan for $300. The issues is not an official recall at the moment but this is a huge design flaw and Nissan being cheap. I would not purchase unless you are prepared to replace the oil pan
oil pan is by design very tender. a lot of people have had it broken. dealerships want 200+ for new one.
