09 G37x Maintenance Question

Just hit 70k and curious what everyone recommends to do. I have yet to do a coolant flush and replace. But wondering if i should do my diffs and auto tranny fluid? And if anything else you recommend would be great. Thanks.

Yes to all those If you're a DIY guy check the DIY section for info on changing them out. Also a brake fluid flush if it's been more than a couple years. Welcome to the site too Derek.

Might want to add the transfer case to your list as well, also never hurts to give the throttle bodies a good cleaning.

Save yourself some money and hold off on that coolant change.

From the shop manual:
(1) First replacement intervals 105,000 miles (168,000 km) or 84 months / 7 years
(2) After first replacement, replace every 75,000 miles (120,000 km) or 60 months.

Download the factory shop manual (link at top of sedan forum) an look at the MA (maintenance) section.

I changed mine at 80k (coolant) since it's at the 7 year mark, I'm sure it could have waited as it was still clear & green, but just got the Lisle Funnel kit and did both my vehicles at once, easy-cheesy

Excellent!

By the way, you might want to have a look at your cabin air filter. They tend to get forgotten.
