You can use the Valvoline max life transmission fluid instead of the expensive nissan fluild. Approx $25 for 5 quarts. I have been using it on my 2003 G35 with 300k miles now and 2012 G37 with 131k without any issues.
@@ptinker106you don’t change filter, just the fluid, or if you’re more able with your hands you can drop the trans pan and clean it + change gasket. Usually about every 60k mi or 45k if you beat it up every single day
@klenthecreezi1041 Yeah, 30-60k seems about right. Most car maunfacturers say the Trans filter is not serviceable and guaranteed for life, but if I drop the pan, I usually spend a couple extra minutes to change the filter. I think there is a baffle with bolts. I would do filter once per 100k to remove any contaminants.
Tbh I will be putting my G35 on sale by next month. Everything on it is paid and has been upgraded/swapped. I was considering upgrading my vehicle to either a G37/370z or s197/s550 mustang.
Swapped out the stale stock air filters with K&N pre-oiled ones. Made a nice difference and I always run 93, as 91 is nowhere to be found... Have videos posted of course and cleaned the t bodies as well
Great contents man! My 08 G37 sometimes has this weird noise coming from the front left suspension area when going over bumps, it's kind of a rattling sound when the car's cold, but turns into a squeaky sound when the car gets hot, after watching your video I am starting to wonder if it is tie rod issues, gonna go take a look at that soon
Check for looseness or play, could also be your sway bar end links, so just start grabbing things under there and see what has play or looks kinda funny
@@JoeVazquez 0w40 or 5w40 protects the gallery gasket. You can daily it 100% 40 weight won’t hurt if anything it protects your engine and less oil burning too
@@Tommikegetitright101i Is running the thicker oil safe? I have a g35 HR and my oil pressure is at idle 15 and 35 psi at 2k. I tried the Lucas synthetic but I guess it might be better running thicker oil. Someone told me not to run different oil than what it’s recommended. Someone did tell me to run 20w50 to bring the oil pressure up.
My only challenge is replacing the transmission fluid and break fluid lmao. I will attempt the transmission fluid so my question is does the transmission pan have a gasket or is it just bolted by the bolts? If so do I need gasket maker or is there one I can already purchase? My last question is what tool do I use to refill the transmission from the dipstick since the dipstick is so tiny?
Hopefully you’ve found some info and were able to get the maintenance done, however if not; Every metal part that attaches to another metal part usually has gaskets (pan to transmission/upper pan). The gasket should be available at your local parts stores, but can be found cheaper online. As for filling the trans, I’d recommend a thin tipped funnel (imo, it’s best practice to always replace filters when you’re dropping fluids) Hope this helps someone!! - A Former Diesel Tech
Hi, I have some questions regarding JATCO 5AT’s ATF level, the same AT is in your car. FSM says ATF’s dipstick should be checked 30-50 Celsius degrees at COLD range and 65 Celsius degrees at HOT range. You know that the ATF’s dipstick’s HOT range is kinda grill patterned. At 65 Celsius degrees, where should the ATF be at HOT range?
thnx for this info. I have the need for my DIFF BUSHING on my 2009 fx35, Do you know what aftermarket bushing will fit? INFINITI is ripping off people to get this bushing change.
Thanks for the video! My mechanic told me to use the OEM Air filters since the other brands may deform or throw a CEL. I also changed my transmission fluid and it was pretty dark (no burnt smell). Will wait for a couple of months and do another change with a pan drop. Was wondering how did yours look? Also don't forget the transfer case fluid!
yo bro i did a drain and fill, cleaned out my pan and filter change exactly as you did but now it slips from a standstill in first gear but other than that no signs of slipping, did this happen to you too? also how much fluid did you have to put back into it?
definitely love the g35 content man! you actually inspired me to make content on my is300 in the near future. questions about the oil cooler though, do you know what part of it failed ? and do you still recommend buying the brand you installed?
I appreciate you bro! That’s amazing! The part that failed was the cooler core itself, it had a leak in the bottom of it and just started pissing out! I could buy a replacement or even get a better brand and then be good though so it’s not a huge deal breaker!
To be honest, prices fluctuate so much from shop to shop depending on how much work they have, how much their shop rate is per hour, and various other things. I would drive around with the list of things you want done, and ask each shop how much rhey would charge for it all! I hope this helps you!
Did you use Matic J tranny fluid for yours? I also have a 08 G37 base 5 speed been seeing people savaging to use matic s or magic j, but since we have the same car figured it would be what your using?
If you have proper tools, especially a good impact and a torch, shouldn’t be too hard. If you live in a climate with rust, it’s gonna be a lot more difficult. I can replace 1 side in about 2 hours at my shop. But if you’re more of a beginner it’s probably a 1-2 day job
@@JoeVazquez it’s not just my shop, but I work as a technician at Infiniti. Just started a couple months back. Pretty much my dream job. I get to work on g37’s almost every day 😩
if you’re going thicker or thinner, have a very good reason for that! I found redline tranny fluid on my g35 made it shift worse than oem, so I swapped back and was wayyyyy happier with it!

Bleeder core sucks but is a cheap part but when it does go you’ll be leaking coolant fluid everywhere mine went around 158k miles

That’s awesome bro haha

Sad to see you go brotha! But sometimes it genuinely feels like it’s time to move on from the build!
good stuff bro, cant wait to get my hands on my wifes g37 for a tune up highly needed at 200,xxx miles!!
That’s awesome bro!
Wow I’ve never saw a G37 that actually had the rear wheel steering motor . Pls do a video on it!
Thanks for doing this video, but it will help a lot if you explain step by step how you did all this work
You’re 100% right, I’ve been doing step by steps for so long that now I do summary’s of the install instead
I just got my gallery gaskets done, bought all the parts from z1 sports for about 2k and labor around 1300 yea it’s a big job apparently
Labor is always the devil

Ya same here. But hate buying 2!!
Awesome job dude!
Thanks!
Can u give me a Guess on the maintenance cost just in up keep in general
How many miles did you get your G37 at when you filmed this?
133k!
If you do get rid of it how much would you sell it for
i have a 09 g37x with 220,000 miles and i never changed the differential fluid would i hurt
anything if i did it now ?
Should I do transmission flush or just drain and fill? I have 155k miles
Just a drain and fill bro!

Good video my dude
Haha hell yeah man!
yo bro i did a drain and fill, cleaned out my pan and filter change exactly as you did but now it slips from a standstill in first gear but other than that no signs of slipping, did this happen to you too? also how much fluid did you have to put back into it?
Measure the dipstick and be sure that you’re at the right level, if you measured exactly what came out and put the same in you won’t have any issues!
Hey Brodie, how much atf fluid did u use to refill the transmission ?
Any answers?
I think what came out was like 5 or 6 quarts
Nice vid! Where can I find that transmission filter?
I found it on rock auto!

It is a better version and I’d love to keep it but I can’t have multiple projects at once! If I was rich I’d keep it and spec it out!

My dealership recommended Matic S for my 08 G37 and yes he used the same in the video
Why not the front differential fluid or the transfer case
Because it’s not an awd vehicle, it doesn’t have a front differential
How much time would it take to replace lower control arms on a g37x coupe is it a easy job is it straight forward? Thanks
I did mine it took about a half a day for each side. It’s pretty straightforward though.
When I was down there, it looked very straightforward but always leave wiggle room for” just in case things aren’t going right”
