is there anyone okay with your 370Z after 100K miles without ATF change?

vtec to vvel

would this logic work for all fluids (i.e. engine oil)?

Na haha I wish though, that's why they say that it's "maintenance free". Basically if you do the fluid swap you could mess your stuff. ESPECIALLY automatic transmissions. Now I know you hear about people swapping their tranny fluid and clutch fluid but well that's precisely the difference. AT vs MT manuals usually will go longer for the same reasons that you swap the clutch and swap your fluid. You can actually work with it as opposed with the AT. They are very delicate and they don't like it when you swap the fluid they get comfy in. Now I don't know a hole lot of details but that's how it makes sense to me.

Please don't take my word for it. Ask some mechanics you might know. Ask em this "is it suggested or good to swap out the transmission fluid on an automatic?" And make sure you mention your miles because that's a big variable.

As I know, the maintenance guide does not say other fluids are also maintenance free.

Rather it says the engine oil must be changed on some specific intervals.

Oh man please don't tell me people are going to mistake what I said and turn it into something it's not. I did not mention he engine oil or any other fluid at any moment. Only differential and tranny

Years ago, I asked what motor oil to use (when I didn't know any motor oil thread was not welcomed and closed), then someone answered to me that the best engine oil for my 370Z is an extra virgin olive oil.

Fortunately I did not know how to change oil by myself either, and later found out at a dealership that it must have been just a joke.

If I did, maybe I really might have tried it and sent my used sample for oil analysis..

differential ??

370Z's VLSD fluid is also maintenance free?

Just curious.

The diff fluid is serviceable at least every 30K miles. The VLSD fluid is not serviceable. That is why it sucks.

I own a 2010 370Z Sport, and my maintenance guide (of 2011) does not mention seperately that its VLSD fluid is also maintenance free.

Can you tell me where I can see the VLSD fluid is non-serviceable ??
