Late model P/S fluid reservoir

Zyonara91

I use Motomaster ATF for the Corolla PSF, it has done a great job, change the fluid every 40,000 km. However I can remove the return hose and get all of the old fluid out, so that helps.

Let's be real, fluids, conventional and synthetic have come a long way from what they use to be. You can pump your car full of Amsoil, Redline etc if you want, it is after all your wallet and of course you cannot put a price on piece of mind. So if that's what helps you sleep well at night, go for it, no one can stop you.

However, nothing can stump REGULAR scheduled fluids changes, whether you use the best stuff or the over the counter brands.

For the Z I would no go through the hassle of removing all the stuff, just go the suction method.

My advice is buy the old style reservoir, the ‘new’ style has a lot of problems with fluid cavitating due to that restriction within the res along with a good bit of noise. I literally replace these almost daily, it’s a horrible design! Old design is completely compatible and your able to flush however you wish!

Thanks.

You happen to have a P/N for the old style?

Just want to make sure I get correct unit (mounting points etc)

I did a rough search, and they are about $225 USD or about $300 CDN$.

I may have to visit boneyard and pick a clean one for 100 bucks.

They are all the same for the mounting point, it just slides into the bracket. As far as part numbers, I do not have the old p/n. Hey you could find an Infiniti g35 sedan 07-08, g37 sedan 2009 and get a part number. I personally would just find a used one, just make sure it’s not contaminated with debris and it DOESN’T have that black o-ring on the outside of reservoir where the cap would ‘seal’ to.

Thanks. I will do that.

Yes, my current reservoir does have an O-ring, while older versions do not. I did see that difference on a parts catalogue, but the older versions also list different production dates for the early models. That's why I asked for mounting differences. I guess I have no worries there if you experienced that.

Thanks again.

"What we got here is a crusader". My favorite line from the movie Platoon. LOL.

Ya, fluid is your $$$ value. I believe in quality 100%.

Again, this reservoir will not let me drain from top.
