this has gone completely off topic.

But i would easily target engine and diff,F/R and T-case oils first. Then move on to brake fluid. Coolant and then lastly P/S. P/S is almost always forgotten. Nissan has coolant that suppose to last a 100k, think its the BLUE kind. We have the green one still but it should be just as good.

I've done all but my P/S but thats because i ran out of D4 from redline.

 

What is F/R oil/fluid?

 

Front and Rear Diff. fluid.

I would also consider flushing the trans. fluid if your car has that many miles on it.

 

I bought mine new in 06 and this section was popping then. My car is now with me in Japan w/ only 48k miles on it. Funny thing is in the first 1.5 years I tacked on 30k. Since then, the car has been in Japan and the drives are much shorter (no more trips from SD to LA). As far as oil changes go. I stopped counting the miles between changes for engine fluid, because I do it far more frequently than 3-5k. I've changed my radiator fluid 3 times or roughly about every 2 years. I've held out on my brake fluid as I'm waiting on my steel braiding lines to come in. Transmission and power steering fluids... I haven't even thought of doing those. Should I?
I've done manual tranny fluid multiple times on my old cars, but this is my first automatic and it seems to be more difficult to accomplish. At 50K I think I'll do it though. That should be in 6-10 months.

 

It's a good idea to follow the recomendation from Infiniti on fluid changes, your G will last longer with less parts replaced. SLICK just turned 45K miles on her clock, I've changed differential fluid twice along with radiator fluid. Last summer we had a lot of days were the temp was well over 100 deesgrees and I got a trans warning. Fluid smelled burnt so I've changed it 3 times since and will get a trans cooler so this doesn't happen again....limp mode sucks!

Wouldn't be a bad idea to throw some fuel system cleaner in the tank either. Nissan's stuff is a miracle worker.

Ya know, since we are on the subject and everything...

 

A drain and fill is just like changing engine oil, but accessed a little further back. Behind the passenger side wheel.

 

Actually, changing the 5AT oil is easier than an oil change. I do mine with the oil change, with the front up on jackstands.

Using 10mm nutdriver, remove bolt holding trans dipstick down. Pull up dipstick a tad to allow air to flow.

Crawl under car and remove trans pan bolt. Allow to drain into an oil pan.

Replace trans pan nut. Use new crush washer, but i've done it 4 times using the original with no issue.

At that point., i'll pour the oil into a 5-quart oil bottle i've saved and measure it. All 4 times it's been 4 quarts on the dot.

Use a funnel and add the amount of fluid through the dipstick tube.

Replace dipstick and install bolt.

That's it.


Hardest fluid to change on this car is the transfer case, only because of thr awkward angle.

Front and rear differentials are easy too.

 

What is this transfer case oil I keep hearing so much about? I was thinking its was differential oil, but now I'm wondering... And only the X's have front differential oil, correct?

 

Yes, and only ones that have transfer case.

 

Only x's have a front diff and transfer case... kinda what makes an awd an awd...

And your t-case fluid is not diff fluid. Just some good old fashioned atf.

 

Thanks brotha. I'll do it the next time I change my oil.
