OMFG, I'm on hold with Nissan's service department to get a quote and she has no idea what I'm talking about. She wants to transfer me to parts to get a quote on fluid flushes.

Power steering fluid, radiator fluid flush, differential oil, transmission fluid, spark plugs. Plus a service interval inspection since I'm a tad over 83k now.

Sounds good. I use the Redline ATF Dexron VI fluid

Sounds good, although the recommended interval for the blue coolant is 135K miles per Nissan

You don't have a VLSD. I wouldn't even bother. If anyone disagrees, I would like to hear their reasoning.

Not necessary; the automatic transmission fluid is maintenance-free according to Nissan. Check the fluid level maybe.

Sounds good. Nissan says replace Nismo spark plugs at 60K miles but reg Z spark plugs at 105K miles

Appropriate service interval inspection should always be included. But dealers are idiots, so you actually have to ask them for this service.

... b..b..but the fluid is black and stinky!




im not sure, but even the non vsld ones probably need to be changed as the diff oil lubes the gears too.

The AT fluid was really dirty the last time I had an inspection there. I want it done just for peace (!) of mind to be honest. Same with the coolant since I'm always really low. Spark plugs to just get it over with while I have the $.

I might ask the Z clinic guy for a quote on the stuff he can do.

I want to change my Transmission and Differential fluid soon

im going to use Redline

kenchan

yah, i used redline on my diff in my G, but used factory MT fluid.

probably do the same on my Z at 30k miles.. which is probably another 5yrs. lol

madwi

good afternoon!

kenchan

the z's factory coolant has like a super extended life of 6yrs or 7yrs or something. ive not changed mine yet (5yrs old).

if it's low and since you're in the south, you can just add distilled water in the reservoir until it's time to change it.

I heard that the open diff doesn't have to work as hard as the VLSD. But I'm sure you're right to some extent. Maybe just not as often. And considering the diff fluid is recommended at like 60K I think and I find it dirty enough for changing at 15K then, changing the base diff fluid probably isn't a bad idea at 80K+ miles lol

10 years or 135K miles

I actually have the blue coolant. I top it off for her every once in a while.
