6 qts Castrol 0W30 German Syntec- $35 (Dino oil $15)
Mobil 1 filter - $10
Crush washer for pan drain - $1
Air filters - $24/pr
Cabin air filter - $30, or the "maintenance free" option of removing for good (dont need this anyway)
Check pads, tie rod ends etc. when switching to snow tires and back again.
+2 hrs of my time
$90 and savings of 1 to 2 hrs of hassle @ dealership, save $10 gas there and back.
Also changed MT and rear diff oil w/ Amsoil for about $60 but not reqd by Manual @30k. Dont forget to pick up crush washers.
Tools needed - Philips head screwdriver, filter wrench, crescent wrench, a few metric sockets, a few boards to drive car onto, one 6 pack of favorite bevvys.
w/ money saved Im almost 1/2 way to my next set of tires

I drive roughly 8K to 10K per year. So here's what I plan my maintenance schedule to be for my 2008 G35X Sport:
Every 7500 miles or 6 months, which ever comes first
1) Oil change by myself, normally May/Nov. I'm in NJ so I don't want to change oil in the middle of Feb. Presently using M1 5w-30. I plan on using GC from here on in.
Every 3 years:
1) Front/rear diff gear oil change with Amsoil gear oil (1st change at year 1)
2) Complete trans fluid replacement with Nissan fluid (1st change at year 1)
3) Transfer case fluid change with Nissan fluid (1st change at year 1)
4) Brake fluid flush with Nissan fluid
5) Coolant change with Nissan fluid
6) Air filter
7) Cabin air filter
8) Power steering fluid change with Nissan fluid
Replacing the drive belts every 2 years is outrageous, per the "Premium Maintenance". That will be done every 4 years by the dealer...

I'm due up for mine at the end of the month. I just replaced the in cabin air filter for $15 and @ 20 minutes of time so hopefully that will cut down on the cost.
