30k Maint dealer vs DIY
30k Maint dealer vs DIY
I know this topic has been breached numerous times but here is my issue. I just called the Nissan dealer and they are offering a 30k services for $369 which includes:
Coolant change
Oil + filter
Transfer Case
Differentials
Transmission
Rotation
Engine Filter
+All the dumb checks...
The price doesnt seem all that bad, considering some of the prices i have heard on here or from infiniti. u think?
I could do it myself but i would need some Jack Stands and an Oil Pan. Also i dont know what oil / fluid to use in each component. I could research further but could someone fill me in on decient oil/fluids they use for the items above that do not void the warranty?

Its really up to you
that price is not to bad really for all the work being done
but
doing the maintenance is a good way to find things out about your car, such as location of water pump,lug nut size, transmission fluid type,etc

So i paid for the service. Came to 404.80 after tax and a plug for one of my tires. Most of the services were drain and fill not flushes but thats ok with me. Belt werent included but i did the belts a few months ago.
They said my exhaust was bent at a certain point and that it wasn't causing a problem but that i probably was feeling a vibration in the cabin, but i wasnt so i declined the 1 hour labor charge they quoted. They also said that my rear wheels were bent and unable to balance properly. That sucks but luckily im not seeing any signs of uneven tire wear yet. Finally last time I was at infiniti they said my rear brake were down to 3mm, yet Nissan said they still had a little life in them. Regadless im doing the brakes myself thanks to mr diy bythebay.
oh, car has been running much smoother so im pretty satisfied.
