I know it is not a fluid but air filters should also be replaced at 30K, according to the manual.
Yeah. Someone told me "Infiniti's aren't like Fords, you change fluid".

Well, my transmission **** the bed about 5K miles later, and even from day 1 after changing fluid it felt a bit different, and not in a good way. Work was done by an Infiniti dealership. Total cost was $1350 including the "new" (new/used) transmission NOT installed by the dealership. I will never do that **** again with an auto. Fill from the factory, and drive it until it dies, then replace. Should get 70-170K miles out of it depending on how you use and abuse it, and over that distance, a new trans isn't too killer priced by the mile.

Screw changing ATF fluid is my opinion. Always heard it was not good, and I experienced it first hand with my G20.
