Just did the 30000 mile service myself
Yup so that was my weekend. I still need to do the Coolant flush next week, but all in all, a messy/smelly job for the tranny/differential job. Worth saving the extra 300 doing it myself though. I used redline mtl/mt90 for the tranny, and amsoil gear oil. So far, no leaks, but I torque them to the specs indicated by the factory service manual. Note to all who do this, by a 10mm hex socket, print out the 350z tech dot com guide. Super easy imo, just takes time. My God, the differential was Black with shavings in there.

^^It's good to see individuals taking the initiative to perform their own maintenance. Good job!

Just curious, where the hell do you dump your used coolant...

Whats included in the 30,000 mile service?
Engine oil/filter, coolant, trans/differential oil, and what else?

Honestly I just read it that many on here do the diff and tranny at 30000 miles. I figure it will help the car cause the differential is NASTY. Pure black with metal particles.
