My advice is buy the old style reservoir, the ‘new’ style has a lot of problems with fluid cavitating due to that restriction within the res along with a good bit of noise. I literally replace these almost daily, it’s a horrible design! Old design is completely compatible and your able to flush however you wish!

Ya, that might be the route I take. Good idea.

Thanks.

You happen to have a P/N for the old style?

Just want to make sure I get correct unit (mounting points etc)

I did a rough search, and they are about $225 USD or about $300 CDN$.

I may have to visit boneyard and pick a clean one for 100 bucks.

They are all the same for the mounting point, it just slides into the bracket. As far as part numbers, I do not have the old p/n. Hey you could find an Infiniti g35 sedan 07-08, g37 sedan 2009 and get a part number. I personally would just find a used one, just make sure it’s not contaminated with debris and it DOESN’T have that black o-ring on the outside of reservoir where the cap would ‘seal’ to.

Thanks. I will do that.

Yes, my current reservoir does have an O-ring, while older versions do not. I did see that difference on a parts catalogue, but the older versions also list different production dates for the early models. That's why I asked for mounting differences. I guess I have no worries there if you experienced that.

Thanks again.
