30K maintenance
30K maintenance
Well I just hit 30k today. What do I need done at 30k? I know the Infiniti website has a lot of listed when you do a premium maintenance. But I'm just looking for what is necessary. When I hit 30K on my mazdaspeed3 all I needed was an oil change and air filters.
^usually spark plugs, brake fluid, power steering fluid, oil, filter and inspection ie tire pressure/top all fluids/inspect brakes tires etc.....
dealer charges 500+...a shop can charge around 300.
overpriced, but worth it if you want the car to last.

I just performed a ATF and differential gear change last night and the gear oil was long over due. You know how there's a filler and a drain plug. Well that drain plug has about an in long magnet on it, and all these shaved metels with oil was stuck to it. It almsot seems like this should have been done earlier than 30K miles. I used Royal Blue 75-90 synthetic gear oil, hope that's ok.
As for the ATF, it wasn't bad at all.
Both procedures was a pain in the *** to fill back up though. Now I gotta do the radiator coolant change tomorrow.

I've had mine for 21 months and have 37k miles. I'll be taking a 2.5 hr, each way, business trip tomorrow!
Here's a google maps of my route for this business trip... just take a look and you'll see why I drive my car so much.
