Transmission Fluid - Change every 30,000 miles
Differential Fluid - Change every 30,000 miles
If you use synthetic, which I do. Amsoil 75w-90 for my transmission and differential, you can go 60,000 miles before changing.
Also, your radiator fluid should be changed about every 30,000 miles.
Motordyne G35 i bought a g35 and it hasnt had a transmission fluid change in around 45k miles, it now has 113k, would you recommend changing it now? Or leave it. Ive been told that its better to leave it if it hasnt been changed in a long time
Cristian Chavira .....change it. 45k miles is not a long time. If you had never changed it at 145k miles, then you may not want to bother because it is too late, the damage is already done because you never changed it.
Never changed my Transmission nor differential Fluid on my 240sx. 0 problems and I drifted the car.
Den V........What year is your 240sx? How many years have you owned it?
Motordyne G35 true
You G is so freakn clean that it hurts 😂👌
Car start up and warming up, straight from an engine builder I know, and makes perfect sense. Depending on how cold it is warm ups take longer. In modern cars with fuel injection, no chokes like carbs, crank the car give it 30 seconds to allow oil to get to ALL engine parts. Now drive easy until engine is fully warm. DO NOT rev it hard until fully warm and oil is really flowing. This protects engine internals. NOW do not let it idle for 5 minutes to warm, it warms more evenly with easy driving. Not to mention oil pumps do not put out as much pressure at idle as they do when driving. More pressure allows full flow of oil to all engine parts. This made sense to me, but do as you like. been doing this for years with no issues.
Our dipsticks are the worst 😂😂
Tyler Leonardi The vq35 dipsticks are bad but I got sandpaper and roughly scratched one side of the stick and it catches the oil better to read
Thor Thunder the line kept getting difficult to see so I did the sandpaper method too lol
Tyler Leonardi at least you have one. My bmw 335i doesnt, you have to check it on the dash
Barcelona Fan Since 2009 bmws are the worst when it comes to that. Most of their engines materials are plastic but other than that I like that output potential of a 335i and it's 3.0turbo
335I'x/xi's are bad ass, I've owned one. 6 speed manual of course!
idk why people are giving him shit for saying stuff "car people" already know, these video are for people that dont know a whole lot about cars and want to know the steps that it takes to keep your car in tact especially nice expensive cars.
sP Bambi if you're not a "car guy" then why buy a nice car in the first place?? Learn from experience like everyone else
Jacob Maland who would buy a shitty car? Wtf are you talking about
Some of us know many of these tips, but reminders are a good thing. I didn't know all of them, and I've taken care of all of my cars really well (yes, I'll say it, for a woman, and I know more than many women about cars due to DOD (dear old dad!). You would be surprised with how many people, men and women, know zero about cars. My neighbor did no maintenance on her last car and ran it till she HAD to buy a new one. Brand new when she bought it and less than 70k miles when it died. Shocking! This should be a HS course, along with Parenting!!!
Kermit the frog is a human?
No
Patrick Maholmes is making car videos
Jake Wicha 😂🤣😂🤣
Car *always* gives a warning sign, 9 times out of 10!
9x out 10? Everytime will will let you know.
About 4videos in now, didn’t think I would find so much viewing time looking at problems I haven’t had yet, but it’s his education or better yet usage of common sense that atleast keeps me watching whatever the episode may be about?!
Simply put, subscribed!!!
Joesph Jones......Thank you for the feedback and for subscribing to my channel! I appreciate it and even though I've had the G for 12 years, just 6 months ago did I buy a professional camera to start uploading. Stay tuned, even more, to come.
2.77 for premium?!?! Would kill for that here in California lol where is this.
Trevy Trev seriously lol it's like 3.50 to 4 bucks a gallon depending on where you go, personally I've gotten alot of people saying Arco gas is really terrible so I've stuck to Mobil or Chevron gas Wich is expensive ): ... I put regular 81 gas in my 2008 g37 and regretted it instantly, the car just felt weird i got scared lol... But I guess it's not suuuuper bad or anything. Still never doing that again tho
Fuck Jerry Brown, I thought about moving to az for gas prices
Phoenix, AZ was the correct answer. Dee.....that was hilarious. Everything is expensive in California, just not the gas.
fuck its like nearly 3.70 for 92 octane in hawaii
2.91 in Downey and Southgate for 91
Bro your advise was GOLDEN. It hits a lot of points drivers overlook (myself included). I've also noticed the quality of your work go up so I hope you do well in the long run. 👍🏼
Thanks for explaining the AC controls finally understanding what that button meant after like 2 years of having my coupe i learned a lot from you when I first got my G 💯🙏🏼
Back to the basics, great video👍🏽
Getting a 2005 G35 Infiniti this Friday 6/28/19 this for the tips I knew some but always good to hear them again, like you said good practice.
Great video, I'm glad I'm not the only one out there who does some of these tips daily lol
Excellent educational video. I will use these tips on my 07 g35 sedan
Love how you maintained your infiniti. Keep it going!
Great info 💯👍🏽
Great info ur were correct and also very helpful with explaining ur self appreciate it!
Your car is beautiful and it gives me soundgasms
this is to all cars not just g35
Good stuff -- Thanks so much!!
Great vid!
Appreciate the small tips it does do wonders peace ✌
Bless you sir for the free informational videos, just got my 08 g35 and I want her to go Long into a 37 haha
thanks for info, man!
Just bought a G35 today. I was researching the car and your videos really helped me with the decision. I'm so excited to get into owning this car! Thanks for the great vids and quality information!
how has the g35 treated you? currently looking in getting one
@@alonsohernandez2425beast cars man love mine
Hey motordyne what's up, I just want to thank you for the tip in how to reset your g35 throttle body in your other video, it works just fine, Gracias 👍
the automatic in my g35 sedan is really really good. it’s as accurate as my dads 2007 mustang when i shift it’s mint
Great video for a first time driver.
I really have to say it seems like everyone in the comments is a car expert and wants to argue with your logic that makes complete sense and is backed up by evidence. You are spot on and take really good care of your vehicle and it shows. You have a good bit of miles on it and it still puts out great power and hasn't had many problems throughout its life. So obviously You are doing something right. While most of this stuff i already knew, I appreciate the info that was more specific to the g35 as i intend to upgrade to one when i get the funds for it.
crimsonrhoads91 ....thank you. Yeah the simple video, gets the hits. Check out my 170,000 mile review. I have documentation of every repair which I did myself.....czcams.com/video/Yflr2TMnR7M/video.html
crimsonrhoads91....I even uploaded a video showing oil temps on my data logs, how long it takes to get oil to 212 degrees. Still people think 30-60 secs letting the car warm up before moving is bad advice and is a myth. The data logs show the proof here.....czcams.com/video/BfUfbHzHjrQ/video.html
I will check them out. It just makes sense to circulate your oil at least a little before putting strain on it. Ive been doing it for years.
Youve already given me a couple good ideas for what i want to do to mine. Its gonna be more of a fast project car rather than a daily. My rsx is a great daily but I dont want to build up a front wheel drive for obvious reasons.
Very good advice thx.
Your ride is impeccably clean.....👍
Very good video for people that do think about those facts you pointed out.
my G35 COUPE has 212000 miles and still runs amazing
297xxx my sedan and runs great
138k :) g35
198xxx G35 Coupe
175k running on e85 and still smacking kids on the street🚗💨
238km on my 04 G35X, just started having a tick in my front suspension, nothing terrible, this car is amazing, fast, sexy and reliable, I love it!
I just subscribed to your channel because you are right to the point no filler just knowledge. I plan on buying a g series but I’m not sure which one to get I live in Michigan so I’m thinking g37x coupe , what is your opinion of the g37x any information would be appreciated keep up the great work
Max NAVAS .....I currently live in Phoenix, but I am from Ohio. In Ohio, I refused to drive my car in the winter and I had a beater car, which was my first car the 240sx. That was 11 years ago and I do not miss the snow at all. The G37x is a great pick with all-wheel drive and an awesome car, but winters make driving difficult. I grew up with a 240sx driving in the snow which is rear wheel drive and I had plenty of scary moments because I lived in the country. With all-wheel drive you should be fine though.
what radio is that you installed ? great vid man!!!!
Great vid
Nice info✔️
Excellent Information 🌟
well done. nice ride
Great tips. Which Meguiar’s Detailer do you prefer?
What touch screen radio is that and where you get it? Looks dope bro
Love the videos man. I actually just replaced my window motor tonight after watching your video on how to, although I made a bonehead mistake and didn't bolt the rails back on before I tested it... big ole pain in the ass that was. I did have a question though, when I turn off my car, I hear a rattle coming from underneath the car around the clutch/gearbox maybe, and only after its gotten warm. It's been like that since I bought it a year ago.
Jonathan Riffe ......if the rattling does not get louder when you rev the motor, nothing to worry about. These cars, the G37 and G35 when you shut them off they make a rattle noise. The Flywheel is the noise as it stops spinning and it has springs on it being a dual mass flywheel.
Motordyne G35 oh, awesome then, thanks.
Agree 100% except partial disagree with car warm up. I just want to add that when you cold start your rpms will be elevated above normal idle rpm. You need to wait till those rpms return to normal idle rpms then you can drive it. May or may not be 30 -60 seconds. The reason you don't do the start and let run for 10 minutes ( like cars do with auto start) is now you have a warmed up engine but with still cold drive train. Like you mentioned and is very very important is to not drive like your racing (aka high room range) till entire engine is at full temp. As your driving down the road. Cold engine is a tight engine.( Metal contracts and expands with heat!) And tight is not good! (At least not on an engine lol). To bad your far from me. Be cool to get a cruise night and hang out.
Chad Boutchyard m
My car makes so many different noises I just don’t even know what to do
Good video for beginners. I use to watch my neighbor jump in their car. Start it on a cold day then just smash off...blue exhaust coming out, Rings were probably fried. Poor engine. It’s like a horse you beat it, it won’t last.
Thanks to you iam taking much better care of my 350Z.
Basic stuffs, but most ppl don't know about them. Thanks for upload! BTW premium gas in Seoul (South Korea) is about $4 per gallon... (they sell $1.5 per liter approx.)
I've got the Q50 S... Nice video ✌️
You know, burn outs and high reving....wouldn't be considered proper care -___- just saying....but I do enjoy your videos (information)
Marco Davila cars that never go balls out are dirty inside. High revs help keep the internals clean. But there is a fine line between that and abuse
I prefer to ride the abuse line. Just gotta stay on top of your maintenance. OCD about it.
Not only the the compresser but the idler pulley and bearings as well. When you turn the ac on the rpms go up slightly bc the ac puts an increased load on the idler pulley as well
Excellent tips....I love the sound of your G too! How did you get it to sound like that? I have a 2012 G37xS Coupe. I have the R2C intakes and stock exhaust. Also reprogrammed ECU with UPREV Osiris. The car performs much better with the tune BTW. Also I also let it idle. The Aircon tip is good but also make sure that you check you in-cabin air filter too. I use Shell V-Power w/Nitro. Best gas out there. If you're in Canada be aware that Petro-Canada has a 94 octane that contains Ethanol. Ethanol is not a good chemical for our cars because it causes carbon deposits and gumming up of the valves and injectors. The cheaper gases also contain Ethanol...and that's why lawnmower engine carbs are always failing.
Allan Sonac .....Thank you. I bet your G is nice, but the sound is Motordyne Shockwave and Motordyne ART pipes. Check out my video on my Top 7 mods to learn more.......czcams.com/video/sDAiIT2qXRA/video.html
Hi Motordyne G35,
Does the air recirculate method apply to cold weather as well? Will leaving it on outside air affect the heater core, or is it negligible in winter since the compressor is almost never on?
There's this guy at my work that immediately leaves after turning on his 07 350z. I don't talk to him but I'm wanting to tell him that he should let it warm up
erich2780 you tell em eric
It's not a big deal as long as he isn't driving hard.
AYE OK SURE dip balls you are not very smart
erich2780 it depends on where you live, it's not that big of a deal
Thanks for the info. My g35 has 127xxx miles. What brand , viscosity should i use?
6 year old video and all these information is still accurate. Not just for a G35, but for all cars.
my friend, i installed cai in my lexus and the aluminum tube got much hotter than the oem plastic tube, does that mean the air drawn to the engine is hotter with that metal tube? have you ever used k&n CAi? should i just use the oem plastic tube instead? thanks
Is your radiator fan loud? Mine is always running loud on my 05 g35x sedan If not what fan do you have installed?
My AC compressor is going bad and I always had it on that first button I'm going to replace the compressor and growing to use that rule of thumb now, liked this video subscribed today #VQ35 06 G35
Bro your paint is in perfect condition
What mods do you have ? What exhaust is it ? Do you have your flex pipes and resonators ?
thank you
Well my car is over 17 years old and I always take in air from the outside with the AC on and never had any AC issues!
How many miles on the car?
That's because the AC is either on or off... Where it's pulling the air from makes no difference at all on how "hard" it works. It's doing the same work all the time no matter what.
i know is out of topic... do you think the Motordyne intake manifold for my ( G37 ) is worth it ? i have stillen gen 3 intakes stillen cat back Berk HFC's and tune with ECUTek
Hey tie what app or software do u use to edit your videos
Hey man got a question for you. I have a 04 g35 6MT with 125k miles on it. Havent been driving it as of late due to poor steering. When I make turns or turn the wheel at approx 1-2 oclock and 10-11 oclock, it is super stiff and feels like it is binding up. Any ideas? I've heard rack and pinnion or something power steering related. My fluid looks clean for the power steering but who knows it might need to be flushed. Or maybe my pump is bad?
additionally, my back left wheel is cambered out, and the suspension is stock. I want to upgrade my suspension to something that gives a really nice firm ride, but super comfortable to bumps, etc. Any suggestions on a full kit (shocks, coils, control arms, etc.)?? Thanks in advance I know i asked alot but i would appreciate it!
I have BC Racing extreme low coilovers on my 06 g35 and they ride great
About the climate controls, I live in Soflo I've got an '08 w auto-climate control and i usually leave it at 76 and don't have to touch it at all. Is this good practice?
You don't have to warm your oil up to over 100 degrees to preserve your engine. Modern oil warms to 50 - 70 dregees is more than sufficient enough to drive around normally. BUT don't high rev it.
I’ve got a 2006 sport coupe, & I love it! I had 2 BMW 635 csi’s, they were nice as long as they DIDNT NEED SOME TYPE OF WORK DONE which became constant. They were a money pit! The G35 is a Nissan so it’s much more reliable. It’s fast, powerful, looks great, (mines white) just do reg maintenance & no probs! I DO wonder where they got the idea of having a sideways oil dipstick, it kinda sucks & is hard to see oil on it & a bit difficult to reinsert into the tiny hole, but the car is still great!
Sandpaper the dipstick to rough it up so it sticks better and yeah I loved the E46 but after owning 1, never again BMW.
When you use the auto Econ a/c it automatically sets to use outside air so what is your input on that. Why would the Econ a/c mode hurt your car in the long run
Prevent underbody, upper control arms, bushings, suspension, and exhaust damage by not gaystancing your car
Make a video on maintenance on a used car and what internals to replace
i always fill up at halfway 😂 i get paranoid if it goes below half
I Love this channel especially because i buy Infiniti & Nissan products a lot
Welcome 🙏 and my newer videos are much better!
This guy taught me how to drive from this video
Yo nice paint! Couldn't see a scratch/swil marks on it!
Hey Motordyne g35 ive been watching all your videos u have alot of very helpful information blogs and i love all your videos everything i know about my g35 is thanks to your channel thanks for all the great videos :) but i do have one question and since you are the only guy i trust to know the most about a g35 mine recently died the engine burned all the oil and the previous owner drove it dry and the crankshaft was completely damaged i just bought the g from my friend for cheap but i wanna know if my mechanic can fix the same engine without takeing it off or if its just better to buy another vq please let me what u think
Angel Gonzalez .....thanks for the feedback. Good question. In all honesty, it will probably be cheaper to do an engine swap than a rebuild. You can find used engines with low miles from cars that were in rear end collisions totaling the car. When you rebuild, you run the risk of the mechanic not getting 1 item in spec and then the rebuilt engine siezes. Then the mechanics blame you, you blame the mechanic. I've read horror stories on people rebuilding for boost, engine blows up the first year.
Motordyne G35 thats crazy but ill take your advice i totally forgot about the risk of rebuilding it. Thanks i just want to avoid all headaches and get it fixed as best way possible
I have a '99 lexus that burns and leaks no oil whatsoever lol
Also, I assume it's more beneficial to prime the pump before you start it than run it above half a tank all the time because it's not like the pump is gonna be run dry on a quarter tank.
William Brown won't be dry even on E. There's a few gallon reserve
I agree with every tip you said but not the last one about type of gas, so I love my cars and I own few of them currently always put regular gas in it my 05 g35x has almost 200k and my 03 coupe has 217k no issues whatsoever. I also own a lexus LS400 if I don't fill it with premium it'll run like crap but not the g35 it doesn't fell or effect anything not even performance.
Vehicle AC compressors are NOT variable load. They are singular on or off compressors. They are either engaged or not engaged. The recirc and exterior air options simply change the source path. It does not change the load on the system.
The hardest thing on a system is a system that is never run.
I live 2 miles from work. I live at an apartment complex and my g is very loud (art pipes, tomeo y pipe, ap single exit) so i start my car and instantly drive it outside the complex then let it warm up. Is this bad? I hate bothering neighbors so i move instantly
I never use AC in my Z. I set the temperature all the way up and use the outside air. Of course I don't have the heat on during hot summer days but the car tends to blow some air in automatically so I'd assume it would put the least amount of strain on the engine and maybe help it cool better?
Arrtus put it on recirculate and it won't blow air when it's off
If you fill up on half a tank that is good but if you always do that crud gets to the bottom of your tank and if you do go down to E then all that crud gets in so i always fill it up at a quarter tank so it burns some of that crud away so it doesn't build up.
Also when you go to start your car you should let the fuel pump charge before starting it only takes a second but is worth the time.
What does this mean? Would pumping the gas peddle a few times prior to starting do this? Or, does it have to do with the key position?
@@kaze_cat you do not need to pump the gas pedal just turn the key to just before ignition and you may hear a light buzz for a moment once it stops the fuel pump is charged it takes about a second.
@@glenkitelinger4364 Got it! Thank you.
At 3:30 is the milage displayed the trip function that you reset when you filled up your tank?
Please answer
It happened once, I started my car in the morning and within seconds I took it to 3000 rpm for 3 minutes constant.
And I love my car more than I love myself .. so I am too afraid what loss I might have made.
Please tell, as I have done only once ...have I made my car too much sad... and if yes...what should I do to make it happy.
?
Wat kind of cold air intake you have?...will it fit an 2004 fx35
I don't think you understand how AC works
Do I need to go to a car tech school to use my Recirculation AC system? my works with a Botton.
rebel 510678 may not hurt the engine but will hurt the fuel pump, the pump uses gas for lubrication
Myles W also named "lube"
jevon thomas oh really? I had no idea
exercises work out
In my 350Z owners manual it says the opposite of warming up the car.
It states that you should start moving as soon as you start the car and Ive heard several times that if you do warm up the car as the mixture is rich on a cold start you will get unburnt fuel passing down the pistons to your oil and ruining it.
Where did you learn to read at? Open back up your manual and hire a tutor, you need it. my350z.com/forum/maintenance-and-repair/547488-will-there-be-engine-damage-if-no-warm-up.html
there is solid science behind running rich on a cold start up causing gasoline blow by into the oil. keep YOUR mind open
I'm open to new idea's when backed up with proof. There is solid science behind what an engineer wrote in the owners manual. I trust the engineer over a youtube commenter. I've never heard of this claim you 2 are making. Please educate me with sources.
Actually, I've heard that idling was really only necessary on older vehicles with less efficient oil systems (splash lubrication). Modern engines with oil pumps have the oil where it needs to be before you even have time to toss it in gear, assuming you're using the proper oil weight for your climate.
Try reading instead of listening to others, it will help you in the long run with a lot of things. The manual was written by engineers. Here it is verbatim in the owners manual. www.g35club.org/download/2005-G35.pdf
4. Warm-up
Allow the engine to idle for at least 30
seconds after starting. Do not race the
engine while warming it up. Drive at
moderate speed for a short distance
first, especially in cold weather. In
cold weather, keep the engine running
for a minimum of2-3 minutes before
shutting it off. Starting and stopping
the engine over a short period of time
may make the vehicle more difficult to
start.
i own the 06 model. Tbh, all you need to do is for the first ten minutes of driving, calm yourself and don't overrev it. that gives the engine pleeeenty of time to come up to temp, and then you can do whatever the heck you like. you dont need to rest the engine after startup like this. just drive calmy for a wee while and your engine can do the rest once it hits operating temp. if you are that impatient to thrash it then you shouldnt own such a nice car :D
After 60 secs you should start driving the car and if you are curious I actually posted a video with the data log on how long it actually takes to get the oil to 212 degrees.........czcams.com/video/BfUfbHzHjrQ/video.html
Yo man what about automatic G35 coupes ? Is it the same ?
I'm living in New Zealand - I was surprised to learn that 91 octane is considered premium in North America. Our regular gasoline starts at 91 and premium is available as 95 and 98 octane. I run my Infiniti M35 on 98 and there is a huge difference in performance and economy when compared to running it on 91
Gary Crowther here in the states, we use the R/M+2 method for getting octane numbers rather than using RON or MON in other countries.
Indeed, different octane measurements. I believe 93 US is equivalent to 98 in other countries
Are you seeing any signs of clear coat failure? My 04's paint is going to shit and it's making me really mad
Hey does that revlight feature exist on the 04s that aren’t revhard?
what should i do if the bolt holding the transmission fluid dipstick is stick or stripped
How often should I start my g37 ipl if I don’t drive it in the winter
Do you still have the oem clutch pedal assembly? Even if you don't have the stick on the pedal the RJM feels a million times better than stock for day to day, and you can dial in the high engagement if you want to keep it.
I'm not into touchy feely parts. I'm into performance parts and the RJM does nothing. The only reason I ever considered it, is because it supposedly puts less stress on the slave cylinder. Well, considering my slave cylinder comes with a lifetime warranty, the value in the RJM, for me, became worthless. It does nothing to help you shift faster. I like the high engagement point from the factory because it was designed that way for fast easy shifts.
Motordyne G35 I can understand that, it was pretty much something I had to get. My pedal had been sticking after replacing my clutch as well as my master and slave, bled it multiple times and the RJM solved the problem.
right on.......interesting. The only time I had a sticky clutch was when my slave cylinder went out. After replacing the slave for $38 with a lifetime warranty, my problem was solved. My how to video for reference if you need to replace your slave. czcams.com/video/jHpRnibzmjo/video.html
I checked yours out back when I had the problem it was very informative. I am going to be following your video for a catch can very soon. A white car and tons of carbon gets very, very dirty. I love the rev-up though, she comes alive with a lightweight flywheel. I have a Sedan so I can't use the full Motordyne system but I'll be sure to find a way to make her sound just as good.
How often are you suppose to change ur diff oil? Also diff oil are only with g35 that has LSD?
oboys1502 .....Every 30,000 miles on the diff and the transmission oil. If you use synthetic I go 50,000 miles.
i miss that gas price. 2.77 for premium. jeez man today it was 4.50
I’m late but my G is at 125,000 miles , is it too late to change transmission fluid?
