Need some experienced advice hope I can get this done
 
I have an 09 370z and I just reached 36k miles in 11 months I'd like to flush some things and change some fluids and what not. What is my best bet to do is for a maintenance. If I can get any info on what to do I'd greatly approate it thanks

It's a 7AT, should I do it myself your just take it in. Where is the diff fluid located and would it take a big price toll on me to have the dealer do all of it

Great call!

I'd take it in if you're not sure. If you're curious to learn how to do it yourself you could ask to watch or see if there's a forum member near you to help.

differential fluid is not that hard, just have to have a good set of jack stands and a low profile hydraulic jack is a must for this car. as for the location it is in the rear in the center of the car between the rear tires

Honestly, I don't know why you feel the need to change fluids. They are rated for much longer life...

I'm just looking to keep the car spot liss from the inside out. I am doing everything to keep it as new as possible and always have just my cup of tea. I know I little bit about doing it on my own but I might as well take it in I believe they only want 450 for everything flushed from the power steering, coolant, diff ,injectors etc...... The reason being is I'm going to have the GTM bulid in the car in a a few months to a few years wanna keep the Z at its finest. There's no better feeling then a clean smooth ride

DOT 4 brake fluid is only rated for 2 years and it's even in the NISSAN 370Z maintenance schedule to change out after 2 years.

Now are you talking about a brake flush or just add to Max?
