Your choice 5w-30 synth oil & filter

Clutch.... ehhhhh, unless it's never been changed, leave it.

Trans
- Redline MT85-recommended due it having the proper friction modifiers necessary for Nissan 6MT (CD009 in your case) OR Nissan factory gearbox oil.

Rearend (as mentioned above)
- factory Nissan GL-5 75-90 spec or other good synth like Redline, Lucas, etc.

Visual inspection of all bushings (look for leaks on diff bushing and check tightness of all others)

I'd also suggest you consider two other items: First, bleed all four brakes with fresh DOT 4 brake fluid (ATE Super Gold or the like). Second, unless you have service records showing it was recently changed, a fresh flush and fill with antifreeze/distilled water makes sense for a Colorado Z.

Usually when I have my 07 Nismo up, I do a visual inspection of control arms, tie rods and make sure there are no torn boots. Check rear drive axle boots as well from the pumpkin. Replace clips/retainers for the engine splash guard underneath. I'm crazy sometimes... I also use a semi-rough brush and clean wheel well areas. I hate when there is dirt/mud in those creases.

Have fun !
