How many quarts of fluid do I need to buy for 60k maintenence?
I plan to buy the fluids online, but I'm not sure how many quarts I need of each. This is a 05 G35 auto. Do you guys know how much of each of these fluids do I need? I checked the manual, but doesn't really specify.
Differential oil
automatic transmission fluid
coolant (From the manual it seems like10 quarts are needed?)
My friend will also check the coil packs for the infamous oil leak, so I figure that I might change spark plugs as well. Are stock spark plugs the way to go?
thanks!

Stock plugs are fine, but if you want to upgrade, check these out. Good price on them, might be cheaper than stock!

5 qts for the ATF,
2qts for the rear diff
coolant is sold in gallons so 1 gallon should be more then enough for a drain and fill.
stock NGK are the way to go. copper are 20-30k, platinum are 60k. i personally run the copper since they are $2/each and its not that hard to change them, plus you keep a better eye on it.

5qts of ATF and 2 qts of 75w90 is what you need for a drain and fill and thats more on the high side. I needed 4 1/4 ATF and 1 2/4 75w-90 mainly cause i spilled 1/4 trying to pump with on hand hold the bottle and hose in the other. There is 10qts of collant in the WHOLE engine system, in order to remove most of it you need to find all the freeze plugs on the block as well as remove the radaitor. I dont really do it, I just normally buy a gallon of coolant not mixed and make myself 2 gal, i let the radiator drain itself on the bottom and fill the radaitor cap untill i get bored and use up about 1.5qts.
also if you haven't get the pollen filter, take a very good look at the belts as most i've seens start showing cracks now. obviously oil change, and air filter. you mentioned plugs and coolant.
I posted for DRAIN and FILLS. I should of made it clear. The guy posted specs on how much fluid is actually in the car. You will not get the get all the fluids out without a flush machine.

Do you know if it matters if Genuine Nissan Synthetic Diff Fluid 75w140 or 75w90 is used? That's the only type http://www.thenismoshop.com carries. I see that the ATF is S Matic instead of J now...
True, thanks for clarifying for both of us. I would also suggest 75w90 for diff fluid.
