:shakes head::shakes head::shakes head:

do it before you make the drive out here.:icon14::icon14::icon14::icon14:

Is it worth it though? I don't believe I have ever changed those fluid before in any other vehicles.

Hey everyone :hello:

Long time no :postwhore:

Hey Jar. Hope life is going easier this week for ya.

Reps out! Enjoy.

No need to touch coolant. What 30K mile service checklist has coolant flush?!?

MT and diff are almost as easy as the oil change, so you should just do them yourself. Instead of just a drain plug, there is a fill plug and a drain plug :eek:

The only thing that makes it slightly more of a pain is that you can't just pour in fluid from the top using gravity. I use a $5 hand pump I got on Amazon. Tempted to buy a cheap battery operated one but I'm sure it'll just break.

Got it. if it's that simple, Madwi owns a hand pump. I'll just bring the fluids and do it at his garage next month. I've never changed either before, so 3 car guys should be able to figure it out easier. haha, thanks Jar.

Thanks brother. It is life man ... not much I can do about it :tiphat:

Last week the Fit was having issues with TCS. Then it broke down on my way back from Houston yesterday evening. Both times I took it to the Honda dealer and they flat out lied to me about the problem. I had to go inspect the car myself and call out their bullshìt. I called the COO this morning to inform him on my recent experiences. I also emailed him a recording of the voicemail service left me stating my brake pads were at 2mm and a picture of me measuring the actual brake pads at 6 mm. We'll see how he responds.

Madwi already has everything ;)

Bro, my Z has 13k and is a 2010, I flushed my differential at 1,000 miles, and did an oil change.. you'd be shocked to see all the metal shavings in the differential at just 1000 miles (mind you, this is after the break-in period).. I'm glad I did it.. I flushed the transmission fluid at I believe it was at 10k miles.

Admittingly so, I am anal retentive when it comes to maintenance.

:iagree::iagree::iagree::iagree:

definitely worth the peace of mind

:icon14::icon14::icon14::icon14:

wtf?

:mad::mad::mad::mad:

Yup. Be prepared. We are def doing this. I want you to teach me how to properly do this stuff. If you have recommendations on any/all fluids I should get. Send me the links.

hell no!:icon17::icon17::icon17::icon17:

We will find the time. I seriously want to do this stuff just to learn how to bleed stuff and properly add for future reference. I get nervous doing things myself that have never been attempted before.

duuuuuude! there's literally absolutely NO chance you could fubar flushing these two units... seriously, you cant.

youtube it, seriously... the best part about this car, at least for me is learning about it..

Considering I found a way to complete detroy the pint hat goes into the clutch when replacing the helper spring.... i doubt everything now

Even better when you have someone to show you! haha

google is your friend, my friend... google.. transmission fluid 370Z, you'll get tons of options.. im a mobil 1 fan, so thats what I went with, then google, differential fluid 370Z, you'll come across several options, 75w-90, again, I chose mobil 1..

although, I've been very very happy with Amsoil oil in my infiniti, so next time I do a flush, im highly likely going to go with that for the Nissan.

Shipping to Madwi ;)

Why you Three Stoogies keep on discussing flushing fluids, bleeding stuff and shavings of metal on rectal tubes of differentials and being ANAL about everything.

Sounds like your guys having a toilet modification!!

Then EW recommend to play it on YouTube?

Dang I thought was clinically insane? But you guys are classic!

I modified my toilets. I ripped that low flow garbage out and put in a 3 gpm flush toilet. That bitch will suck down a bath towel. Get the elongated version if you are well endowed :twocents: :icon17:

:rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

:rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

:icon17::icon17::icon17::icon17:

Idk what most of that means, but please post video of a bath towel being sucked in now.

I was eye balling a new Nismo Z someone who works nextdoor bought, i tripped on something and almost fell on it :eekdance:

Zs are dangerous cars, will cause people to fall and not get up:rolleyes:

Mr. Leingod, have you found your transmission fluid and differential fluid yet?

redline 75w90 for diff

redline 75w85 for trans (since I run in cold weather in the early/late months)

Motul RBF600 for brakes

Mr. Madwi is going to be waking up to some fun on the forums tonight

:icon14:

:eekdance: :icon14:

:icon14:
I'll give you a tip for changing them out in your garage/alley. Be sure to remove the fill plug before removing the empty all the **** out plug.

there you go! now do a little bit of research to find out how much you need, then go on and make that big boy purchase... easy peasy.

Damn right! :icon17:
