I just got my '09 G37S saturday. My gf said I acted happier than her nieces and nephews on christmas morning. Basically, I do not know the history of this vehicle as far as maintenance so I have been searching the forums and devised my own schedule and wanted to get some opinions. The car has 32k on it and has no signs of mistreatment or issues. After quoting the standard premium 30k service, I laughed and said, I'll get back to you. I am doing some of the easier tasks but anything difficult, I will be letting the dealers do it. I'm not exactly a mechanic.
My plans are the following:

30k (now):
Engine Oil and Filter (already done by dealership)
Engine Air Filters (do myself)
In Cabin Microfilter (do myself)
Differiential Fluid Change (dealership)

60k service:
All 30k items plus
Replace engine coolant/flush system and rad. cap (dealership)
Replace engine drive belts (dealership)
Flush Automatic Transmission (dealership)


Plus some pics of my new ride. Nothing new you haven't seen but there they are.

 

Sounds like a pretty good plan! After you do that then its time to do some modding!

 

Congrats on the new car! A lot of those items you mentioned can be DIY. Just take a look on the interwebz for how-to's and what not. You'll be amazed at what you can do.

 

The belt and diff is something you can do yourself assuming you have a means of lifting the car (jack stands, ramps, etc).

Also, would not be a bad idea to do a full brake fluid flush, and maybe a drain/fill of the coolant now.

Look in the DYI section, there's a number of posts with good pics on what/where what is and how to do it.

 

I would love to learn more about the car but I have no means of doing any of this, I live in downtown Charlotte. I was curious about the brake fluid flush, but I have not yet researched it to know what it helps or prevents. Its not posted in the Infiniti Manual but I read some people doing it anyways.

 

I have read alot of mixed reviews about the coolant, drive belts and changing the Automatic Transmission fluid. Not being a gearhead, its hard to determine what I should and shouldnt do so I just tried to go with the majority vote and thats how i came up with the schedule i did.

 

Differential change can be done by any local garage. Remove drain plug, remove fill plug, install drain plug, fill, install fill plug. For $20
Bring your own Mobil 1 LS fluid.

Brake fluid flush is not a myth, I flushed mine with a Mityvac at 20K, the pedal did get firmer.

Also, you can get the full G37 field service manual from here:

It's be a good idea to remove fill plug first, then drain plug. That way if for some reason you can't remove the fill plug AFTER you've done the drain plug, you're not going upriver without a paddle.

 

Where did you get that car from?

 

I got it from 5 Star Ford in Fort Worth, Texas

 

Well the damages weren't too bad I don't think. I ended up doing the following:

30k (now):
Engine Oil and Filter
Differiential Fluid Change
Flush Brake System
Engine Air Filters (already replaced)
In Cabin Microfilter (doing myself)

The 3 things the dealership did Oil Change and Filter, Rear Diff, and Flush Brake System cost $330 but i had a 15% coupon so it was around $280. All in all, I'm pretty happy, they said i have about 20k miles left on the rear brakes and 30k miles left on the front brakes.
