I need to do mine too. Though the Nov oil looks clean, it did sit for about 5 months.

Why not getting the end-link too and do everything in one-shot?

I can feel you are skeptical about the OEM endlink on the aftermarket sway...

do you think I need the aftermarket endlinks?

i thought people were so far 'okay' with it not breaking apart?

on my G, the rear oem one broke (rattled) after about 3k miles, but then
i bought some oem reinforced ones and they've been problem free. i have
spare aftermarket endlinks just in case, but have not had to swap them
yet after near 28k miles.

my 9yr old G has 31500miles.

so i 'might' be okay?

wish nissan would force new Z owners to take an IQ test before purchase.

Yeah I was thinking of maybe switching to a 1 oil change per year schedule but all of the oil is already bought

Then they'd have to pay me to take the Z, since I'd rank in the top .001%.
