tomgt4 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Hi All, Just wondered if anyone had any recommendations about when these should be changed? Read on other forums that they are 'lifetime' and shouldn't need replacement? My car has covered about 20,000 miles now. Others say that diff oil in particular gets very muddy. What sort of interval would be good to change them? Also, what fluids should be used? I'm thinking about getting Nissan to change them both as it's about an hours labour but sourcing the fluids myself. I have seen somewhere that this is meant to be good for the tranny: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/371066494787?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108&ff19=0 3 Quarts of that required apparently Think the diff is meant to have some different stuff? Any idea of quantity on that? Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Tom, we do the genuine fluids here, and sold in the correct amount needed - http://cougarstore.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_12 2.9 for the gear and 1.4 for the diff...

MITZ@CougarStore Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Every 3 or 5 years is what most of the members have opted for, the gear oil usually gets swapped out against the interval as it's commonly done... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgt4 Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Do you sell replacement washers for the plugs? Mine is just 2 years old but I'm thinking by 20,000 the diff oil will be a bit rank! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Tom, so sorry, thought this was posted in the 350z section, I'd be inclined to wait until 3 years old before swapping them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgt4 Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Ah, thought it might be different oil in 370 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 They both share the same fluids but I'd wait 3 years before swapping... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
