Got my Complimentary Multi point inspection while doing a coolant flush

ahhlun

Hi,
I have a 2010 370z that is ~60K.
Recently I noticed my coolant level is kind of low so I thought I might as well go to Nissan to get the coolant flush. It costed 108 for Labor and 82 for Parts, totals comes to 228 after tax and Misc. charges.

Anyways, I was gonna use the multi-point inspection to tell me what I actually need to change at 60K miles. But the multi-point inspection says everything else is fine. Is that because there's no way for them to tell whether my other fluids are old?

I had my car for 5 years and 60K(of mostly highway) miles, and I never did any fluid change except oil changes.


Anyone can help me with recommendation on fluid change/maintenance I need?


Here's the report for what its worth.

This report is saying that your car is perfect except for a battery getting weak.

You'd be surprised at the reliability of these cars (when they're not lemons lol).

The Owner's Manual has maintenance schedules.

If you are at 60K miles, I'd change ALL the fluids. Transmission (and clutch, where applicable), differential, power steering, and brakes (did I miss any?).

A visual check of lube condition is not very accurate. If you are not having analyses run, change frequently, based on miles/time/type-of-driving.

I'd be willing to bet a substantial sum that they didn't check your trans or diff fluids at all.

As per G37Sam, the Z is pretty reliable, but, as with all mechanical things, improper maintenance will greatly decrease reliability. Frequent lube changes is part of proper maintenance.

60k is a major service, all fluids should be changed. I would recommend You to look for dealer coupons for the future. I had all fluids changed for $615 tax included at this dealer with their coupon, whereas the suggested price doubles that



Did my 60k maintnance for $615

I went to a shop that specializes in Japanese cars. They charged me $290 of a 60K service and Oil change. I provided the motor oil and filter. They flushed the coolant, changed the air filters and the cabin filter. They checked my transmission oil, diff oil, brakes, and hoses and said none of needed to be changed. I will need brakes soon at some points but that's about it. I feel like I could have done everything except for the coolant flush myself but this was my first time getting a service done other than a oil change.
