I'd do all the fluids...especially brake.

Everything is six years old now..including the coolant. I know its good for "100,000 miles" but I'd dump it anyway.

Tranny oil, diff oil, and coolant are all easy, so is a brake flush but if you have a place to work and some know-how its not bad.

For a dealership to do the above, you'd probably be at $500.00 bare minimum and likely higher.

P.S. Excellent advice on the rubber.

EDIT: Nissan uses a crush washer on the drain plug (oil change). make sure you buy some from Amazon or whatever before you do oil change.

Despite reading otherwise, I found the washers on the tranny and diff fill plugs to be flat steel washers (2018 base) and re-used them with no leaks whatsoever.
