Premium maintanence
 

I had a light come on that said maintenance-other. I guess its just a reminder. I'm at 30k. has anyone got the dealer premium maintenance or schedule 1 and 2 . Whats the difference? How much is the premium?

they all start with a simple price, then find other 'issues' with the car and the price goes up..so you should just take the car in if you're not going to be doing the work yourself.

Oh If only I could do it myself

Go to dealer and have them turn it off. Problem solved. They just might show you the sequence on turning the light off

I paid $475 out the door for, Oil, Diff, Clutch, Tranny, Brake, Coolant - all changed to OEM spec.

Yeah I just had them change the diff and tranny oil. $380. Guess I'll be investing in some tools

Dear god. I'd go file rape charges. That should be no more than an hour labor and cost of fluids. Definitely DIY next time, and find a new dealer.

^^^$380 doesn't sound so bad...I mean it's much easier to just have it done and pay that, especially w/out proper tools and experience.

It's awful. A good dealer would have charged an hour of labor and fluids. That would be $150 or so. Almost $400 is terrible.

Fluids from the shop: $50-75 for trans and diff fluids (I pay ~$60 for Redline fluids).
Hour of labor: $60-100 (they're paying a guy $10/hr to work on it and it takes him 30 min - nice profit margin).

I agree with Chuck. Nearing $400 is highway robbery :gtfo2:

Maintenance?
 

My thoughts are "Getting the car high enough " to do these things?
With Chinese Jack Stands?

Hey guys!!! my Z its almost in the 30k.... i read and search lot in this forum and trust me... everything we have to know for our 370z its in here... I already make a list of the things that i have to do on the 30k maintenance... with better fluids than the OEM ones and the tools and parts required to do the changes... soo in other words.... im not going to pay to my dealer $400+ for make this maintenance. Search for DIY threads... everything its here :tup:

i use ramps... made in usa.

safer, i think...? :eekdance:

Odd... I hit 30K this morning coming to work and no light??? I was also at the Nissan dealership to get my wifes Sentra done last week and they told me I would need these services done at 60K for my Z....Anyone else here that?

Nissan actually doesn't even give recommended flush intervals for diff and transmission (6MT only). The FSM just says to inspect the fluids every 15K miles. I replace them at ~15K miles because it's easy and not expensive to DIY.

Also, I've never heard of a light coming on for maintenance reminders unless you set the reminders in the dot display on the left.
