I can't seem to find it using search. My GSR is closing in on the 1500 miles mark, and I would like to change the oil any other fluids that need to be changed. So far I have:

1. Oil, Filter
2. Tranny fluid (BG Sync II maybe?)
3. Blinker fluid?
4. Any things else? Transfer case? Rear diff?

 

At this point I would just change the oil. The rest are fine for many many k miles.

 

I just did my first oil change 2 days ago. Here is a tip. Make sure your oil filter wrench fits the oil filter. If it doesn't and you try to remove by hand you wont be able to do it. It is on damn tight from factory!

Change the engine oil, as for the other fluid, dont worry about it unless you have been tracking the car.

Good luck.

 

Thanks for the tips guys. I'm having the dealer do the oil change since it's cheaper than just buying mobil 1 myself. I was thinking about changing out the tranny fluid since new trans will have more shavings since it's new. Plus I've got the 3rd gear grind. Many reported buttery shifts on the BG.

 

i just used a latex glove, worked like a charm.

of course, that depends on how much they tightened it in the beginning. i happened to get lucky, because most of those idiots put like 35ft/lbs of torque on a freakin hard-to-reach filter that is supposed to be hand-tight.

 

Just change your engine oil now. But change your tranny oil at around 5k. I did that and my tranny works perfect. No problems what so ever.

 

Uh look in your book, tells you what to do at what miles. Just a little tip

 

change ur blinker fluid and washer fluid while you're at it too

 

RRE recommends just the oil. But I'll throw in the blinker fluid.

 

blinker fluid 3rd on the list?
believe it or not its the most important fluid you need to change. get on that asap.

 

Im coming up on my 1st oil change as well. 977 on the car now I'll change it at 1k. But i don't trust the dealer to use mobil 1 so im getting it myself.

 

I would get hot on that blinker fluid ASAP. I put in OEM Nissan blinker fluid in my X and it worked fine.

Here ya go:

Changed the oil and switched over to BG Synchroshift II. The 3rd gear grind is better, still a grind once in a while, and it's not as bad when it does it.

Dealer wouldn't put in the blinker fluid, said they'll void the warranty if I change it. I told him the blink was slipping sometimes but they refused to change it. Oh well, I guess I can live with it.

 

+1 nismo

 

Does everyone reset the service miles counter or has everyone left it alone. I just did my 1st oil change at 1500 miles.
