Just did this on our 2012 G37 rwd today. Car has 87k on it. Posted a video as well. Will do another 4.2qt drain in about 1k miles, then a 3rd drain in another 1k miles. That should leave us with about 85-90% newer fluid. The fluid we drained out today looked like it was probably the original fluid from when the car was new, as it was a bit on the brownish side, but not too bad & no bad smell either. Car works great! Hit 142mph the other day on a closed road in Mexico...

Do that daily 🫢 g37s coupe

Did the rear diff fluid on our 2012 g37 rwd. posted vids. super simple job.

[@vlickndflick4034]

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you really useful video

[@mastertech6049]

Yup

[@SportsMusicCars]

If only 4.2 qts came out, that is less than 1/2 of the fluid total so you will need to do this procedure two more times after driving a bit to get about 85-90% of the old fluid out. I did that with another car, made vids and posted a video showing the difference in color from 68k fluid, to 5.5 qt change and then the other 5.5 qt change on our 08 Saturn, has a drain plug and dipstick for filling and checking levels. The fluid is now almost looking like new color and perfectly filled, but the shift solenoid is stuck causing down shifting issues and the trans has to be pulled to get to the valve body when I will also change the filter out as gunk is no doubt the cause.

I’m not sure about matic S vs acdelco but project farm did a test and acdelco preformed pretty good I can’t lie but I done bought all my matic S

[@mastertech6049]

you can use both

[@faridtavakolmoghadam]

Hi, Thanks for the video! This was the only video that showed the straightforward way of changing (not full fluid change) the transmission fluid on an Infiniti! One thing that isn't clear from the video is that did you get any fluid coming out of the fill plug (when you cracked it open first) and if so, how do you manage to prevent fluid loss when replacing the fluid back from the fill plug?

[@mastertech6049]

This video shows you the process of changing the transmission fluid without needing to let out the extra fluid as I measured exactly how much came out and you just put the same exact amount back.

[@Ferg-_-]

@@mastertech6049oem says to put 9.8 quarts. I’ve been having some issues with my transmission and will be checking the transmission fluid as a result. Say only 7qt comes out should I put 7 back in or 9.8?

[@SportsMusicCars]

@@Ferg-_- only put in the same that came out!!

[@forgetit1967]

Just did this NOW.

[@SportsMusicCars]

Our 2012 G37 rwd has 87k on it & for sure I am going to swap the fluid out this weekend. Was considering doing the filter as well. Do you recommend the filter as well at 87k? It's a LOT more work and lots of bolts to make sure do not get over tightened in the process.

[@mastertech6049]

Those filters are not serviceable

[@SportsMusicCars]

@@mastertech6049 yes replace the filter is the only choice.

[@03maxi]

What size hex is the fill plug?

[@mastertech6049]

5 mm

[@JuanGarcia-rh4zx]

What is fbo and how much would it cost to get my g37x like yours

[@elmayimbe_the_amateur_mechanic]

FBO...full bolt on 😂🤣😅

[@JuanGarcia-rh4zx]

@@elmayimbe_the_amateur_mechanic how much and where do I get the stuff

[@elmayimbe_the_amateur_mechanic]

@@JuanGarcia-rh4zx, you have to pick and choose what you want for your car. Motordyne TDX shockwave exhaust and pick your headers. Of you go ISR or PPE longtube headers to Motordyne TDX shovkwave or you go standard headers, ART pipes to Motordyne Shockwave. Simple K&N air intake or Takeda or another cold air intake. Get some light weight pulleys and a Kinetex intake manifold.

[@Vq37Naranjo_209]

Refill spec is 7.5 quarts ,atf fluid capacity dry is 9.7

[@thelegendarywasdgamer9724]

Go ahead and put 7.5 in lol see how ya transmission likes that

[@azed4173]

Is it fine if I use valvoline atf? Max life full synthetic on my 2011 g37x

[@azed4173]

I need to know asap pls bro

[@463mafia]

Hello, yes you should be fine. I used the Valvoline at 100K and currently at 165K miles with no issues. On the bottle just make sure it says that is usuable for Nissan/Infiniti. @@azed4173

[@mastertech6049]

no use OEM, I drained it and put oem couple of days later

[@azed4173]

@@mastertech6049 why did you drain it? You never drove it with that fluid?

[@mastertech6049]

@@azed4173 I did, but I just switched it after out of interest

[@lukha225]

What about Motul transmission fluid? Some say it makes the transmission less laggy than smoother. Please advise

[@mastertech6049]

OEM only

[@nargindersomal689]

Will that pump and it’s fitting going to work on my ex35 trans ?

[@mastertech6049]

Yes

[@zhaostephen5800]

Is trans oil change really needed as the manual said 7 speed auto oil is lifetime?

[@mendeze323]

Yes, every vehicle When the dealer says "lifetime" they all usually are going by a certain time frame with no intention of the car going beyond the 120k or so

[@mastertech6049]

There’s no lifetime fluid

[@josha8554]

Life time just means when the trans shits itself it lasted a lifetime

[@hammertime4257]

Left out important info

[@mastertech6049]

Like what ?

[@ivypz1504]

isnt it recomended to use oem transmission fluild on these cars?

[@mastertech6049]

Yeah I had oem fluid in that one

[@TacticalJay.]

What thread fitting size is it can you please let me know I’m going to the store right now lol

[@mastertech6049]

here's the link for the pump amzn.to/3JKNcKR

[@hotdoghero1875]

Did you really need all those upgrades for fbo or just wanted to? I couldn't imagine needing to upgrade it that much if you're only adding like 30hp

[@mastertech6049]

the IPT transmission isn't needed for power but it is a support mod because once you go FBO, the stock transmission won't be able to handle that power.

[@jasonmesona]

Where did you get the threaded pump

[@mastertech6049]

Check the description

[@anteup75]

Mine has 140k is it too late😢

[@adanlopez1011]

Add some Lucas stop slip, usually at that mileage the transmission is used to a thicker fluid due to all the gunk and metal shavings in the fluid, so if you want to have a clean fluid, replacing 1 qt of atf fluid for lucas won't hurt it.

[@UQRXD]

I just drill a hole and then put a wine cork in.

[@semihyilmaz4699]

Drill a hole where?

[@SportsMusicCars]

lol

[@kaamfinitii]

Should of just got a VR30 trans lol

[@FlossyZach]

Are you on jack stands in the rear or just the on the ramps in front?> I need to do this and I have ramps but no jack stands.

Ramps

where can i find the pump with the correct thread size/option?

[@georgecain5362]

I haven't removed the oil from the transmission yet , but I did remove the fill hole bolt front one not drain bolt on rear and to my surprise it poured out lol..obviously I figured that would happen... is that what I'm to expect after I drain and refill.. bottom fill seems like that was the dumbest engineering idea ive seen... enlighten me is it supposed to pour out while you try and plug it back up??

[@mastertech6049]

make sure the car is leveled, the car is on, and at operating temperature. Open the fill hole, let the fluid drain until a bubbling stream of fluid starts coming down, once you see that, screw the fill plug back in and that’s it

[@SportsMusicCars]

@@mastertech6049 Would not that cause the fluid level to be a bit low from what dripped out then? Sans a dipstick, it's really not possible to tell 100% the level. Our GM 6T70 trans in our Saturn Aura has a dipstick so with the car hot, the level can be verified with accuracy.

[@jonathanc8513]

thats weird, what if the level became low by itself? putting back the same amount would still make it low.. starting to think that its probably best to put back the same oil quantity and screw back as soon as possible, i thought this was the whole idea not to wait for bubbles

[@OhMaccc]

My car can only reverse and when I tried to move in drive it just made a tumbling sound anybody think its low fluid or a toasted trans

[@mastertech6049]

either the clutch packs are toasted, or the valve body is shot

[@luisc240]

OMG 😱 u put the wrong fluid in it. It takes Metic S trans fluid which is sold by Nissan or Infiniti dealer 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@mastertech6049]

i did not lol, IPT upgraded this trans, and he recommended this fluid
