Do i have to worry about transmission fluids or any other fluids besides oil? If not when should i worry about them?

Come spring i plan on changing oil, cleaning TB and possibly spark plugs. Anything else i should do at 62K?

 

Just follow the schedule and you'll be good to go.

if you've never done a tranny fluid change then i would recommend it and no need to change spark plugs until a good 80,000+

 

Do you plan to keep the car forever? If so, good idea to change tranny/diff every 30K. Coolant, brake fluid, and power steering fluid every 60K.

It will pay off as the car gets over 100K miles, otherwise you'll probably be replacing tranny, diff, master cylinder, calipers, radiator, water pump, etc. sooner than you would if you did MORE then the recommended minimum.

Infiniti only wants your car to last until the warranty runs out. Infiniti WANTS your car to fall apart after the warranty runs out so they can sell you more parts.

 

Just change it right..not a flush?

Only reason why i thought about changing the plugs was due to some vibration when idling but i am thinking it has more to do with the TB than anything.

Not forever..but for next 5-6 years and then i will upgrade. I average about 12-15K miles a year...so say 75,000 miles added on to 62K now and i am at about 140K

 

I do plan to keep my car for a very long time so currently at 67k I've done 2 Tranny Drain & Fills (With Matic S), 2 Air Filter Changes (OEM Nissan) and Changed my Rear Diff Fluid (Royal Purple). I also recently cleaned the engine bay really well.

Coolant flush will come before i reach 75k. Spark Plugs, Brake and Power Steering fluids will come after that.

Oh and not to forget the 3000 mile Fully Synthetic Oil Changes...

 

You know you can go longer then 3k

 

I am at 38K in my 2008 G35, picked up in Oct. 2007. So far I have done:
1. Oil changes with synthetic at every 5,000 miles.
2. Replaced Air filters twice (first with oem nissan and next time with fram airhogs?)
3. Replaced brakes and rotor with oem.

Upcoming:
Tranny drain and fill at 50k
Rear Diff replace and fill 50k
Oil every 5,000.
Coolant not sure. Maybe refill at 50k.

 

Draining the rear diff fluid..is that easy as well?

 

I change air filters every 2nd oil change.

Tranny flush exchanges all the fluid. Drain and fill only changes less than half of it. Get the tranny flush.

 

If you're the type to take it to the dealership to have it done then take it to a Nissan dealership, not an Infiniti dealership... unless you like spending an extra $100 for fun.

 

ya just a change is enough for now, the vibration should be fixed by TB cleaning that from personal experience should be done every 35-40k miles!

 

good info i change my tstat and flush my coolant ever summer and winter

 

im sorry for the newbie question but what is a tb cleaning
