I usually have it out from April until mid October. When the spring comes, I change almost all fluids. Brake, clutch, charger oil, engine oil. Diffy and transmission every 2 years. But out of all honesty, I drive it a Max 1,500 - 2,000 a year. These 350z nismos are hard to come by, so vigorously do maintenance.

I drive 3100 miles per year. I change all the fluids every three years. Now you have me paranoid that I should be doing it every two not three.

Now I'm going to be an outlier....

On my 2012, it had 72k on the clock when it got totaled. It still had the original CMC/CSC, clutch, and pressure plate in it. I did ZERO maintenance on the clutch fluid....

and I had no problems at all.

I must be a horrible owner.....

Since it sits from Oct. to end of March... there is plenty of time for moisture to build up. So the reason I do it every year at min. Now, I track a few times during the season, and I'll switch brake and clutch fluid every 2 track events or after a weekend session.

Coming up on 75k miles and I've changed the fluid twice with Motul RBF600 - once at 25k and once at 50k. No issues, but I will be changing it again before I put my Z away for the winter.

Made it to 76K before my csc went out. It's my daily.
