Fluid change

Elmo370z · 01-14-2015, 02:49 AM

I've searched over this forum for answer and have come up with nothing.

My Z has 34,000 miles on it.

Power steering fluid (redline) WHat type and how much. Ps fluid or D6 ATF??

Differential:Motul How much?

Brakes : Redline How much?

Transmission: Motul how much?

Thanks for everyone's input

I just did my oil, tranny and differential. I used all red line fluids. But the differential takes about 1&1/2 quarts so buy 2 and the tranny took 3 quarts. As far as the brakes and power steering I couldn't tell you. You'll be very happy you did your diff. after seeing all the gunk that's on the plug and in the fluid.

Fluid capacities are in the Owner's Manual and/or FSM.

I got 4 quarts for the tranny. It took more than three.

Nothing in the manual for power steering and brake fluids.

Power steering fluid :Genuine nissan power steering fluid
Brakes : Genuine nissan Dot3 fluid
coolant: Nissan long blue coolant

Transmission: Never heard of it, i remember somebody said that the transmission is designed to never change fluid or at least 100k miles

Differential:Need advice too, should i change it ? , my car is 2012 and only has 10k miles

Differential doesn't really need changing unless your drive the car hard or track it. I"m just doing all my fluids with better fluids, I'm using motul for everything.

My diff fluid was nasty as hell with only 15k miles on it. It's too cheap and easy not to change.

Redline makes better ps fluid. Use motul or something instead of OEM brake fluid.

So i used Motul for everything. I really can't tell the different beside the transmission shifts alot smoother.
