60K Service

Hi guys,

My 60K service is overdue. I plan to buy all the fluids and get a local shop to do the service. Am confused on what fluids to change and which brand fluid to get. What else is recommended for 60K service? Thanks for your time.

Just change coolant, oil, diff fluid, tranny fluid and check all belts and hoses. Its a little early for the tranny, but better to be early than late. Might as well get it over. Especially if you're an auto.

Also, have them check all your bushings.

And the tranny and diff fluid it is highly recommended to use stock Nissan fluid. You can go redline or royal purple or something if you want, but my buddy is having grinding issues after using royal purple. Its Not a G35, and its hard to pin on the fluid specifically, but he changed it plenty early so I dunno..

Just looked in the manual and it says Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF*3. You are right. The name must have been changed from S to J. Can anyone shed on the quantity i need fot the ATF and gear oil, couldn't find info in the manual. Thanks

Guys, if you ever read the manual, it recommends changing the spark plugs at 105000 miles.
For Iridium plugs we have there's no need to change them earlier. It's just waste of time and money (unlike older cars it's rather time consuming, 2+ hours labor + parts = around $350)

This is true, but mine were in horrible condition at 105K and should have probably been replaced around 80-90k. OP. Find a good deal on them then consider it!

There's a DIY for fluid change that tells you everything you'd need to know. If you have access to the basic tools it's pretty straight forward to do yourself.

No, Matic-J is no longer available. It has long since been superseded by Matic-S as the current spec for V36 generation automatic transmissions.

Also, a friendly tip when seeking specific advice for your car: you should always include the year/make/model specs for your car, regardless of which forum section you posted in. Some people put it in their sig or at least in their profile or garage info. In your case, that info is no where to be found, so it leaves you vulnerable to potential misinformation.

$350? Try $50. Do it yourself.
