Hi people,
Im about to change fluids on my 05fx35 awd with 41k miles. i will change coolant, tranny, differential front and back, transfer case, brake fluid, power steering..
I wanna find out what kinds of fluids you guys been using??
 
thanks guys... i am gonna use nissan tranny and transfer case fluid... i see people use amsoil, royal purple or mobil 1 synthetics for brake, differential.. i was wondering if there is any benefit of using synthetic(its probably gonna be same price vs dealer price) over regular dealers??

Maybe use some seafoam in the crank case before changing oil? Seems to be beneficial to those who use it.

Ditto, a full round seafoam treatment (crank, plenum, gas) would help. I noticed a difference on my piston tops after the treatment.

i know, i know... I should of make a video.. it started to rain a little, so I was trying to concentrate on doing it right since it was my first time.. shame on me :frown: My buddy was like wth are yo doing.. I started the car and smoked up his house for 2 min. He almost killed me because his parents ran out and start screaming whats on fire... it would be a good video..
 
hey there.. i think im going with this setup:
still thinking on what gear oil to use for front and rear differential..
manual says 80w-90 I will go with amsoil synthetic 80w-90 gear oil

but i was actually thinking of getting amsoil sever gear 75w-90
anyone used any of of these??

coolant: most likely Peak
brake fluid amsoil series 500 dot3
power steering from Nissan
tranny from Nissan
about transfer case: I called the dealer to get prices and the guys told me to use same gear oil as for differential.. Manual says to use Matic D..
Can you guys tell me what to use in transfer case?? does it have to be Nissan brand or I can get something from Amsoil?? if yes, which one??
