77k miles - fluids
Hey all
Posting after a long time
I have a 2010 G37 sedan wity 78k miles. Most of the fluids are stock. Dealer
tells me that my Rear Diff fluid failed the dealer inspection and needs to be replaced.
I want to also replace the brake fluid . What other fluids do I need to replace on
a car of this age ? Should any of the fluids only be Infiniti branded or
will a generic do ?
I'm taking my car to a local mechanic

If that dealer doesn't want to do a drain & fill find another dealer, or try a Nissan shop.

3x drain & fill is what you should look at, a single drain & fill is better than nothing but still leaves a majority of old fluid in the AT. Don't go w/ a flush, the pressure involved can dislodge sludge and debris that may get into the internals.

"Dealer

not sure I would trust the dealer on that one. I replaced my rear diff fluid on my G35 at 100,000 miles and it looked brand new. Recently I checked the fluid as I am now at 260,000 miles still looks good, not sure it's worth it now, not sure how much longer I will keep the car.

Diff fluid should be replaced every 30K miles!

Says who?
I looked at my maintenance schedule and even up to 120,000 is only says 'inspect' not replace.
Obviously if you care about your car and want to keep it for a while it should be changed but at 30,000?
I have 260,000 miles on my car and only changed it twice. No issues at all.

Nice. Was it the 7at trans, and do you know what fluid was used? Because i was going to use amsoil until Jtran Motorsports in Houston, Tx stated the transmissions in these cars require the oem fluid to function properly.

If i were you, id replace the fluids myself. Can't really trust random shops these days. You never know what they're putting in there. Besides, the diff fluid is crazy easy to replace. Best to do it yourself, bro.
