DIY engine coolant & ATF - void factory warranty
DIY engine coolant & ATF - void factory warranty
I just purchased WRAP warranty for another 4yrs/60k miles, now have 60k miles.
My 60k miles will do:
1) oil and filter change
2) in-cabin microfilter -myself
3) ATF (drain and fill) using Matic S - local shop
4) Engine coolant (drain and fill) - local shop
If #4 and #5 is done by local shop, will Infiniti void my extended warranty if one day transmission or radiator goes bad?
I hate paying that extra $$$ to stealership but would suck if they use that against me.
I already scheduled an appt with local shop this sat but want to make sure before I go.
Any advise?

All you need to do is what the mantinance manual says to keep warranty, if you do it else wear thats fine, but keep the reccords to prove you did it.
Drain and fill won't void warrenty as well

^ whs keep your receipts from the purchase of the matic-S and then a receipt form the local shop which states "ATF drain/fill with Nissan Matic S" to safeguard yourself. Inifniti does not care about the radiator service or engine oil change but they are majorly obsessed with ppl not using their tranny oil due to which they can void your warranty as stated in the maintaince guide.
Just thought of another problem. This car is a 2007, so the ATF in tranny is likely Matic-J but now is replaced with Matic-S. Can I just drain and fill in Matic-S which will mix with Matic J? I don't want to do a flush as most said it is not necessary at 60k.
Yes you can, they are fully compatible as stated by Nissan themselves, in all likeliness they are the exact same fluids with new name to help Nissan make more money so that ppl dont use AM fluid that are tested to be compatible with matic-J.
Now all the AM companies need to recheck the "new" matic-s fluid and all its additives before they can claim that their fluid is compatible an dby then nissan will have a new brand new....
