Front is on, time to get at the back.
Yah, i use ramps. For lowered cars RaceRamps makes some nice ones. I just use a rhino with a home made extension. :D

It's just starting now. I'm secure enough in my masculinity that I can watch the Hunger Games. :)

Well, I just checked my oil and oh my is it low!!!! I have about 36xx miles on the last oil change and its beyond depleted:eek: WOW, I knew oil consumption was a prob but Im shocked. She is SCREAMING for oil. :facepalm: I really need to keep a better eye on my oil situation.

I replaced the transmission and differential oils at about 10,000 miles and I plan on doing it about every 15 to 20 thousand miles. I used Redline MT 85 in the tranny and 75/90 in the rear. I highly recommend the redline products.

You are likely going to get a wide range of opinions on this topic. How often is best, what oils to use, etc., etc.

Also, Mr. Alchemy -- stay on top of that oil level -- it is one of those "ounce of prevention" type deals.

Im embarrassed about how low I let my oil get:facepalm:

Also, in my service schedule from Nissan at none of the intervals did I see it reccommend a trans flush. Did I miss it or is it not there??

I usually do not perform a transmission flush on a manual trans.

What amuses me about this, onzedge, is the stark contrast between enthusiasts and dealerships. I took my Z to the dealer at the 10K mark, and all they said was that it's "good to go" as no maintenance was required (I changed the oil a few weeks prior). They're the same dealership that told me this car did not have a break-in period. What a bunch of idiots.

Well Im at about 30k and havent done any trans fluid maintenence. I was planning on doing it at the same time I do my parts install
. Im wondering if my current fluid is helping contribute to my 5th gear grind?
