Oil/Filter/Clutch&Break fluid advice

Spstone · 04-03-2016, 10:05 PM

Gonna get all the fluids switched out in getting the Z prepped for it's first long drive to ZdayZ. Car still hasn't rolled over 2K miles but I'm going to service all the fluids just due to being 2 years old. Any opinions on whats better redline or motul for oil? For the clutch and brakes should I go with Motul or order the GTR fluid through Nissan? And last stupid question is it worth buying the veruspeed NISMO oil filter? Thanks in advance for the input.

definitely do an oil change before the trip. heck I am + a quick inspection from the shop. stick to what you use/ a good quality synthetic.

brake/clutch fluid are arguable. it's a closed system and you haven't used it past it's normal operating life (~25k depending on how you drive) but it wouldn't hurt to upgrade the clutch/brake fluid if you plan on being a bit spirited. RBF 600 is a good starting point.

dealer gonna do it and has no issues with me bringing my own fluids. I'd do it myself but I get home 4 days before ZdayZ and just won't have the time or I'd do it myself. Has any one used the NISMO oil filter? Is there any thing that makes it worth $30?
