New Mishimoto Rad at 139k (oem blew)
New Idler pulley and belts at 140k (oem makes squeels)
New shocks Tokico Blues - and GF210 springs front camber kit.

Only one current issue: My gas guage doesn't read properly, could be the low or high level sensor?

I just reset odometer at every fill-up and refuel at 350 miles usually.

80K miles on 06 G35 A/T Sedan

I've had some issues with my G35 but the powertrain has never been one of them. If you got a powertrain warranty I think you would be wasting your money.

Honestly this castrol high milage(non synthetic)has cut down on my oil consumption big time compared to Mobil1..I'm glad I switched over cause I don't feel any difference,it's cheaper and less oil consumption
