Friend of mine just bought a '03 G35 sedan. he wants to bring it to the shop and change the oil, trans, air, fuel filter and just do a check up. any advice on some common things we should check out while its in there would be great. any other tips and tricks for a new owner?

Thanks guys

 

anyone have anything? if the plugs look like they need changed what kind do you do recomend? what kind of trans fluid is needed? any special proceedures when changing coolant?

 

maybe also do the diff fluid
This is pretty common stuff, the shop should be able to handle it

 

Spark plugs stick with NGK Iridium IX cant go wrong
Tranny fluid if you have a 5AT then you need Type J auto fluid which has now been replaced with S matic fluid only Infiniti and Nissan dealership have it locally or you can order it through a couple websites
Oil is whatever you like, I personally use Royal Purple 5W-30 and Mobil 1 oil filter
Air filter just purchase a z-tube and a JWT popcharger or Stillen hi flow intake
Diff fluid change I would do also, How many miles are on the car??
Coolant flush is easy but beware of air pockets there is a DIY on infinitihelp.com

 

60,000mi on the car. he is using royal purple oil. ill look into the intakes cause he was asking me about a good cai but im a camaro guy i have no clue so ive been trying to read up on here. we will deffinatly do the trans fluid and probably the dif fluid. what fluid is recomended in the dif? going with ngk plugs... any good sites to get the stillen cai or the z-tube? is g35parts.com a good place. they have both for 200buck.

 

I purchased mine off of stillen.com and conceptzperformance.com has some good deals on intake and exhaust combos you can even look in the classifieds here on this site to purchase a new or used intake.

Differential fluid any type of gear oil will work there is also a DIY for that on this site https://g35driver.com/forums/engine-...erential+fluid, if you have a manual 6MT

 

its an auto but ill check out it out anyway.

 

This is the cheapest I have found the NGK iridiums:

Fast shipping as well.

 

thanks man i appriciate it.

Are there any grease points on the car? any that i might miss just looking under the car?

 

No fuel filter to replace. It isn't replaceable...its in tank.

Use the Nissan Matic-S in the transmission.

Royal Purple 5w-30 for Engine. (some use Amsoil 5w-30/0w-30)

Royal Purple 75W-90 for Differential. (some use AMSoil as well)



Many people find oil on the spark plugs on #3 and #6 due to leaking valve covers. You have to replace the valve covers, not just a gasket.

 

you have to replace the valve cover everytime you get in there? or just if it leaks?

 

bump.........

 

bump for being a good friend... get him on g35driver too haha
