25k maintenance
 

Hola amigos - I will soon be hitting 25k and wanted to know what (if anything) I should be looking out for, flushing/replacing etc. any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Have you read the owner's manual? Pretty much everything is listed.

You're probably coming up on brake fluid and differential fluid at 30K miles IIRC.

Its always good to flush ur csc cylinder, errrr if you have one.

30K maintenance is the big one. Clutch Fluid, brake fluid, oil, air filter, in cabin air filter, Tranny fluid, Diff fluid, Coolant.

Coolent? :rofl2: I guess you are keeping your car for ever.

If you do not race, is everything you list necessary? Do you replace all of it?

Yes, everything I mentioned. Normal maintenance. Do this again at 60K and at 90K everything including spark plugs. Belts should be done around 60k to 90k miles. It depends on what they look like. Any cracking in the ribs, they will need to be replaced.

Is this manufacturer recommended or "dealer suggested"?

I don't think that is quite correct. Trans fluid and coolant are actually never given a specific mileage for replacements. IIRC, it just says inspect the trans fluids every 30K miles, and the coolant gets inspected at 100K miles. Of course, I'm not quite sure how you inspect the transmission fluid without draining it :icon14:

However, I agree with replacing all those fluids because it is just a good idea. I do my diff and transmission every 15-25K miles already even as a DD. Probably could leave out the coolant flush as it's more hassle to DIY or more costly if you pay someone. Any track time significantly decreases the life of pretty much all the fluids you listed. Most DD that drive easy can follow Nissan's recommended maintenance schedule in the owner's manual. But if you drive the car hard, it's best to err on the side of replacing fluids earlier rather than letting them go, especially considering fluids are cheap and easy to DIY.

Look in your owners manual.

:tiphat:

page 27... i don't see it saying all that?

25k maintenance = buy a new car. :ugh:

:rofl2:

:iagree:

thanks to this thread i have now overly paranoid adjusted my next maintanence to include a clutch/brake fluid swap to the RBF 600 before my road trip.

no need mishuko. it's all in ur head.

people change brake fluid too often anyway. these days i only change it when the pedal gets spungy (sp?)

it has been feeling a little soft on the warmer days... but that could also be the brakes getting worn down too.

my schedule says to do it at 24k... it wasn't done at my last oil change (around 23.5k) so it's kinda sticking to the maintanence schedule.

now only if they put something about the clutch fluid.... :stirthepot:

i c.

well, just as reference i did my Z's brakes last yr which was 5yrs in with 15k miles or something. brakes were still firm, but since i had the extractor out to do my G's brakes, i just did the Z's as well. haha

Lol omg past 2 cars I've had I've sold before 25k miles..... so true.....

Z never get to 25k miles

Maintenance schedules are to make the dealers rich! don't believe any of it.

Kenchan has the right idea!

But really, if you don't his kinda money and you need to maintain your current car, this is what I've been doing.
4,500 mile engine oil, Redline
16-20k Clutch Fluid
60k Miles
All other fluids and belt
85k plugs.
The other stuff brakes, etc as needed.

considering you're the god of miles, your opinion is pretty valid.

bit of a hijack, did you send the samples in yet?

So, not all intervals are in the owners manual. Check the maintenance guide. Here is a link for a 2014 version (my car)

2014 Nissan service and Maintenance guide

wish they had a maintenance schedule for guys like me...

skip first 15 pages.

I have a solution for you: just rip out the first 15 pages of your owner's manual :tiphat:

:icon17: im already LOL'ing at the next guy that might buy my Z.

carfax: 404 not found... NULL :rofl2:

Not yet, waiting till the next oil change, couple weeks yet. I'll update the 200,000 mile thread once I do. :)

Haven't even done a tenth of that yet! :mad:

Well get on it!!
