Do I do my 30k mileage service? It would mainly be for tranny, diff and coolant fluids. I'll do my own damn oil changes.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
