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.

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.

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 have an iron stomach. Very rarely do I get heartburn, I'd make a good garbage disposal
