I changed my diff oil today and ScGRacer stopped by in his white Nismo to do the same. I have 27k on my car and figured it was about time to do the change. Redline was not available locally so we each grabbed two quarts of Royale Purple 75W90 which claims to be great with LSD's and is both GL-4 and GL-5 compatible. I'm sure you don't have to change it so early but it's piece of mind.

I'm under my car, ScGRacer helping out.

You can see all the metal shavings and sludge stuck to the magnetic bolt.

I would black out the door handles, tint the rear lights and do something with the headlights to compliment it all. Total Stealth mode.

15k miles on both 370Z's with sport wheels and no issues and I wring mine out every chance I get through the canyons. Some of roads are pretty nasty with pot holes.

That is a lot of sludge in the pic. I hope I do not strike sludge. IIR the FSM has OCI at 35k. RP heard good things about. I am considering Motul Gear 300 75W90, it worked well on my Z33. I am at 33k and will probably swap out gear oil when the oil cooler is installed.

^^Nice! My drain bolt magnet looked almost that bad at just 2k miles.

Installed Z1 post-maf tubes just now

Wow, the only thing I did was clean my G using sprayon carwash. Done in 28min. Woot!

Hey, Mr. Footloose -- your garage is mighty nice (and clean).

Footloose301 · 12-02-2011, 07:50 PM

Thanks dude!

happytheman · 12-02-2011, 11:59 PM

Fl 4motion, I think I'm in love! Would you mind stepping down for me? BWAHAHHA

Footloose301 · 12-03-2011, 07:01 AM

It's a 20min job at most. $3.99 for the pump from Harbor Freight and $2.56 per washer at Nissan and you need two of them. Most people are seeing this kind of sludge(or more) with LESS than 10k miles!

Bout to head out and wash my Z. From there I will be hitting up my fav road that runs along the Delaware River on the PA side. Nice and twisty with some elevation changes. Ill be taking my GoPro with me, havent played with it for awhile. Enjoy your day everyone

kenchan · 12-03-2011, 12:05 PM

All I did was cover my Z this am.

Nice! I want to wash my Z badly but it's too windy and would just get dusty within an hour haha.

Can't wait see some of those videos!
