Buy fluids for 60K maintenance online or at dealer?

My 05 G35 is about to hit 60K miles. Is there a good place online to buy all the OEM fluids for the 60k premium maintenance schedule? Or should I just go to the local Nissan dealer? If its the latter, does the 2005 350Z use the same fluids (ATF, diff, etc) as the 2005 G35 sedan?

thanks!

I recommend buying engine oil and antifreeze from your local Wal-Mart store, but the automatic transmission fluid, power steering, and differential fluid will need to be purchased from the dealership; since the G35 requires J-Matic Automatic Transmission fluid. All years G35 use the same type of oil, but there is a difference in manual transmission fluid. Hope that helps, if not please use the Search option to get a better understanding.

+1...I like to use amsoil products such as motor oil and filter. Nissan filters a paper so use k&n, amsoil, six, or mobol 1 filters

Tranny fluid flush is about the only thing i'd let a dealer do. They can hook it up to a machine that flushes out all the old fluid. Doing it in yourdriveway leaves a ton of the old stuff still in there.

Everything else you can do on your own. The dealer keeps bugging me for my 30K service. Most of it is just inspection stuff. I'll tackle the minor things but i plan on letting them do a trans fluid flush for me.
