Sounds good, although the recommended interval for the blue coolant is 135K miles per Nissan



You don't have a VLSD. I wouldn't even bother. If anyone disagrees, I would like to hear their reasoning.



Not necessary; the automatic transmission fluid is maintenance-free according to Nissan. Check the fluid level maybe.



Sounds good. Nissan says replace Nismo spark plugs at 60K miles but reg Z spark plugs at 105K miles



Appropriate service interval inspection should always be included. But dealers are idiots, so you actually have to ask them for this service.
The AT fluid was really dirty the last time I had an inspection there. I want it done just for peace (!) of mind to be honest. Same with the coolant since I'm always really low. Spark plugs to just get it over with while I have the $.

I might ask the Z clinic guy for a quote on the stuff he can do.

the z's factory coolant has like a super extended life of 6yrs or 7yrs or something. ive not changed mine yet (5yrs old).

if it's low and since you're in the south, you can just add distilled water in the reservoir until it's time to change it.

im not sure, but even the non vsld ones probably need to be changed as the diff oil lubes the gears too.
I heard that the open diff doesn't have to work as hard as the VLSD. But I'm sure you're right to some extent. Maybe just not as often. And considering the diff fluid is recommended at like 60K I think and I find it dirty enough for changing at 15K then, changing the base diff fluid probably isn't a bad idea at 80K+ miles lol

10 years or 135K miles

I actually have the blue coolant. I top it off for her every once in a while.
