I have no idea what schedule you people are looking at but the manual for my 2011 370Z is nothing like what others here are recommending.

❑ Replace engine oil and filter
❑ Replace brake fluid
❑ Replace engine air filter
❑ Replace in-cabin microfilter2


This is the 30K mile or 24 Month Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 maintenance. The above items are what need to be replaced and not showing what needs to be inspected. NissanBoy, I have no idea where you are getting this information but my information comes directly from my Nissan Manual. Is this the stuff YOUR DELAERSHIP is recommending?

This is directly from the manual:

* Premium Maintenance is a Nissan-recommended option; You need not perform such maintenance in order to maintain the warranties which come with your Nissan.

You DO NOT need to do Premium maintenance to maintain your factory warranty! Why are people in this thread not pointing this out to others?

It may not be required to honor your warranty, but flushing your transmission and differential every 30k will go a long way towards helping your car last longer after the warranty has expired.

This is a decision that every owner will have to decide themselves. One thing that's for sure is I don't want a dealership that is 100% profit driven to make this decision for me. The facts are that some of these services may not be needed and may be different for everyone depending on many factors. Not everyone will be keeping the 370Z for many years past the 3 year warranty so this may be a total waste of money for some.

Not sure it it's only my dealership that does it but I'm pretty sure you're just stating a 15k with a brake flush.

As I said this is the 30K maintenance per the owners manual, not 15K. I'm sure the dealership you work at has an interest in people paying for more maintenance than they need. I'm just stating the facts per the owners manual. I don't think we need any misinformation in these forums!
