Cool- that's what I wanted to hear! I was worried because of the way it's worded in the manual:

"Evidence of the performance of the required maintenance should be kept and may need to be presented as proof of such maintenance in connection with related warranty repairs."

I don't even have any 'evidence' that the oil was even changed.

Talk about noticed a major difference.

Thanks Hi-Tech. That's about all I plan to do. But I hadn't planned on the rear diff. fluid. Is that necessary/recommended/expensive to do?

You guys have any thoughts on the alignment?

FYI - according the Infiniti service manual, Nissan doesn't recommend changing the coolant until 60k miles/4 years, whichever comes first, and then every 30k miles/2 years thereafter.

Based on the service manual for 04 coupes, the only other "required" maintenance items, besides oil and oil filter, are:

- Air filter at 30k/2 years
- In-cabin filter every 15k/1 yr

All other items (brake pads and rotors, tranny and diff oil, steering gear, etc.) are "Inspect". An alignment is probably a good idea, though.
