30K Fluid Flush

travnflorida

So wrapping up this 6 month deployment soon. First on the list when i get home is to take the Z in for a much needed Fluid Flush (Power Steering, Coolant,Brake,Trans/Diff. I did a little research on pricing but came up pretty much empty handed. So my ? is has anyone taken their Z to the Dealership for these services, if so how much did it run?

I've done everything on your list, except for the A/F. IMHO and my advice is ... do it yourself. You'll get better fluids (the ones you choose) and the workmanship will be up to your standards. (My experience)

well that was my other option..i'd just have to research how to do it all. wouldnt be too hard i assume..thats why i wanted a round about price from the dealership to see if it was worth it

I am planning on doing the same ALL FLUIDS change. I have AT Transmission..and here is what I have figured so far if someone can fill in the rest for me would be great.

Thanks!

Engine Oil Change: (Using AK's DIY Thread)
Redline 5w30 Oil x 6QT
Purolator Filter PL14610
FilterMag Oil Filter Magnet
Copper drain plug washer
Magnetic drain plug


Differential: (DIY From Spearfish25)
Red Line 75W90 Diff Fluid 2Qt
2 x Metal Gaskets

Transmission Oil
Red line - what am I looking for here?

Brake fluids ?

Power Steering
I ordered 1 x Red Line Power Steering Fluid - is this all I need or will I need more bottles?

Besides fluids are there any parts that go with the brake/power steering and transmission?

The 30K service was quoted to be around $700-750 if that gives you guys a ballpark price.

Alchemy

From all the research I have done on this forum, the Auto transmissions are not meant to be serviced. Only the Manual transmissions can be/should be serviced.

I know it is not a fluid but air filters should also be replaced at 30K, according to the manual.

Christ. That's a pretty penny. I'll do it myself as well.

I don't think my 30k was that much - I'll see if I can get my bill from the car later.

This F!@#ing Z is just awesome. Is it really your Z???

ImportConvert

Yeah. Someone told me "Infiniti's aren't like Fords, you change fluid".

Well, my transmission **** the bed about 5K miles later, and even from day 1 after changing fluid it felt a bit different, and not in a good way. Work was done by an Infiniti dealership. Total cost was $1350 including the "new" (new/used) transmission NOT installed by the dealership. I will never do that **** again with an auto. Fill from the factory, and drive it until it dies, then replace. Should get 70-170K miles out of it depending on how you use and abuse it, and over that distance, a new trans isn't too killer priced by the mile.

Screw changing ATF fluid is my opinion. Always heard it was not good, and I experienced it first hand with my G20.
