Default 30K service

I did my owned 30K service. Having access to a lift, I change all fluids (oil, transmission, diff, brake,clutch) grease locks, replaced air filters,inspected all hoses/belts, brake rotors, shocks, bushings, exhaust, battery, lights,cleaned under to car & engine bay, inspected brake pads, turn signals, lights, wipers, suspension items, and pulled/inspected the tires.

I spent approx. $100 for preminum fluids plus tire balancing done at a tire shop I have used over the years. I road test afterwards checking for any leaks.

My Z is good to go for the next service that involved buying a new battery.

P.S. I save the receipts for the materials purchased to verify to Nissan of the service performed along with actually filling out the items serviced in the service manual. I do this to verify that the service was completed for warranty purposes. The service shop at the local dealership is fully aware of my services to my Z over the years.

Thats a good list, mine just hit 31K, I have to inspect a couple things as for fluids I don't have to change them on 7AT.

Dude,
That's a lot of money you're giving away. As someone said, they will "check" a lotta stuff and only change them if they look horribly bad. You can't do that just by driving 30K miles.
This is exactly what I did when my Z turned 30,000.

1. Went to dealer to get transmission fluid changed.
2. Also had the differential fluid drain and fill.
(if you get both done together, I think you get a .5 hour break in labor as oppose to doing them separately). Then I told my service guy to check my belts and other fluids. They will do that that do you without charge as long as you're getting something done. It's courtesy.
3. Bought a pair of fresh air filters from the dealer. Put them on myself later that day.
all the belts and stuff came out fine. Why spend $400 when you don't have to? Use some of that money (about $70) and buy a motive bleeder. Then bleed your old brake fluid with synthetic. Enjoy driving
