Keyless entry battery
Hi, my battery for my IS is running low. I am getting notification from the car saying it is low, how long does it usually last when it says low? where can I get the battery from? I tried to use the search function but didn't find much...
Oh Also, should I skip my 2nd oil maintenance? I read it before saying that the 2nd oil maintenance can be skip and won’t have any problem? I did my first one at 4k, and now it is at 9k I am getting the message for oil maintenance.

Don't quote me on this one but there should be a jack somewhere in the car, probably next to the OBD port where you can plug the thing in and it will recharge. At least that's how it is on my mother's Altima... not sure about the F, never had that problem before.
As for maintenance, never skip it. There's nothing good that's going to come out of skipping an oil change.

Should I take my car back to the dealer for the oil change or elsewhere? Trying to save money, I read the DIY too much work : /

I do mine every 3k. Its really quite easy, but if you aren't mechanically inclined, have a set of ramps (or are real skinny), you are best off to find a decent shop to do it for you.

Dealer will charge somewhere around $50 for an oil change. Still too much work for the DIY?

You can drive a lot more than a few miles, as it does not turn itself off. You can drive it until it is turned off, stalls, or runs out of gas. Moral of the story: don't leave the car unattended while it is running.

Man, lots of horrible information here...
1) You can drive for as long as you want once you start the car and remove the key from the car. Only when you turn the car off does it not start again with a key. You can see how that's important because if you were in the middle of the freeway and your key runs out of battery or Rihanna throws your key out of the car, you don't want to be shut down.
2) There is no recharge port, but your key will work when it's out of juice if you hold it really close to the start button. The only way to recharge is to replace the battery.
3) I think I remember you, jimjaix, as somebody that did a lot of very short trips in very cold weather. If that is true, you actually probably need to double up your oil changes instead of skipping them.
