Nissan 350Z / Infiniti G35 Differential Fluid Change (Redline 75W90 GL-5 Gear Oil) | AnthonyJ350

[@SalmanHussain]

This is a great reminder and guide! Appreciate how meticulous you are in all of your videos and I agree about keeping everything clean.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Glad you see value in a basic video like this one! If you haven't got your stickers yet, make sure to email me your mailing address at info@gofasthavefun

[@larrycroft470]

Anthony i always enjoy your videos. I have changed my rear diff, transmission, power steering & brake fluid every 30K miles on my 08 G35 automatic w sports package. It has 270K miles on it & still running perfect. Keep these videos coming Brother. Thank you !!

[@AnthonyJ350]

That's fantastic you've enjoyed so much mileage with the car! I should probably change out the power steering fluid and clutch fluid this year. I'm working on installing headers on the car but I'm breaking the components into smaller videos. So filming and editing in my spare time is taking a little while (just got the test pipes off and will remove the front O2's in the next few days). Did I send you some stickers yet? If not, you can email your mailing address to [e-mail]

Thank you so much! I thought it was really basic and wasn't sure if people would care for it.

@@AnthonyJ350 no this channel of yours is beyond helpful bro. REALLY appreciate it !

[@stealthg35infiniti94]

Anthony, that was a great video for the novice learn from. I myself prefer using the Amsoil GL5 with LSD modifiers. Their Squeezable Soft Packs makes possible to fill the differential without the need of any pumps or hoses.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Thank you! I agree that Amsoil has a more convenient package for awkward situations like this one.

[@MrSnakedoctor85]

Yes, use a 3.93 or higher ring gear when you change it.

[@AnthonyJ350]

I have to drive the car on the highway and see where my cruising RPMs are to make a final decision. Ultimately I'm building a touring car for highway cruising and mountain roads.

[@srv2low4me]

Great video, and very informative. I picked up some Amsoil Gear oil packets during their black Friday sale. Just waiting to get the car out of storage in order to change the fluid. My 03 currently has 141k KM, and I'm not sure if the first owner had it changed or not, so better safe than sorry.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Yup, doesn't hurt to change the diff fluid. If it's really bad in there, you might need to change it premature after a few months of driving to get all the old stuff out again.

[@VQDE_RobLee]

Great content you inspired me to go out and purchase my 350Z. Do you think the finned diff cover is worth purchasing?

[@AnthonyJ350]

I think it's a good idea. I like the Z1 Motorsports differential cover because it still maintains that curve the factory one has. Gale Banks makes a great video why flat back diff covers aren't good. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b17ceGZ6aK91iNU You'll want to match it with a Bell Raceworks differential brace and Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings. That'll make a nice street car with some sort of LSD. Also if you want some free stickers, feel free to email your mailing address to [e-mail]

[@MrSnakedoctor85]

I change mine every other year.

[@AnthonyJ350]

That's really good. Keeps the fluid fresh and the diff happy.

[@timcory4455]

How much torque did you use to tighten the gear oil plugs? Thanks

[@AnthonyJ350]

Check your Haynes Manual or service manual.

[@illzst]

What brand of fluid do u recommend for a MT g35? redline? oem?

[@AnthonyJ350]

I found Redline works better for the car in the differential. Also MT transmission fluid designed for Nissan removed any notchiness in the transmission as well.

[@Qkfltpdls777]

How can I level the rear diff fluid correctly if I can jack up the rear side of the car only? (you know the car will be tilted and the rear diff level can't be done accurately...)

[@AnthonyJ350]

Use jack stands on the front and lift the rear and use jack stands. Do not get under the car using a jack alone, always have some sort of cribbing under the vehicle.

[@joseperez6506]

It’s been 2 years since I buy my z and I never changed this thing lol

[@AnthonyJ350]

Should change the fluid with Redline, it's easy.

[@Somethin2z_]

How much fluid does it take ? - Thanks

[@AnthonyJ350]

Not even 2 bottles.

[@SkullGamingNation]

Hey got a question here So i got a 03 Infiniti g35 coupe with 212k miles i got it for 1k only and planned to restore this vehicle in time id like to get another 200k miles but im willing to invest more than the car is worth Heres my question im uncertain about if or when the differential fluid was replaced... I have a whireing sound when decelerating kinda feels or sounds like the engine is powering down but had me thinking it might be something to do with the condition of my differential.. would it be viable for me to get it serviced with new fluid this far into the engines life? (Engine is in very good shape) I dont wanna do this if i risk needing a whole new differential lol

[@AnthonyJ350]

Changing the fluid in the differential won't hurt it. Should change all the fluids.

[@kylerovergaard8969]

my diff is off the car, can i film it by keeing it flat on the ground?

[@AnthonyJ350]

As long as you don't overfill it.

[@666dynomax]

how many km on that fluid? looks good, but the plug doesn't ;) I love amsoils blister packs... Easy Packs I think they call them.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Not much, like 10,000KM. What was wrong with the plug?

[@666dynomax]

@@AnthonyJ350 just never saw that much metal on it for such low mileage. fluid l,ooked great...

[@AnthonyJ350]

@@666dynomax Don't know what to tell you. It's the original differential amd it will be swapped out eventually.

[@666dynomax]

@@AnthonyJ350 All good man... i'd love to have one of these cars. If i didn't live in a climate full of snow i would have drastically different vehicles.

[@EdrianPlayzGames]

Wow I feel like I got mine change too late because before I even did get it change I hear humming on my rear end once a reach a certain mph like maybe around 40-50 then I feel vibrations, it gets worst on the freeway because it’s more of like a howling. Don’t really know what it could really be that’s what I’m told only from mechanics at my place.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Sounds like a bearing is done and needs replacement

[@redline350zHR]

@@AnthonyJ350 i agree wheel bearing

[@VHRalexisYT]

Would 75-W90 be reccomend for a 08 G37 coupe base 5A/T

[@AnthonyJ350]

Check your owner's manual. I would make sure to use the brand Redline.

[@carlosandresjuarez2274]

Hey I have a manual 2008 350z Hr 88,000 miles I bought it with 83,000 miles which transmission fluid and differential fluid should I use ?

[@AnthonyJ350]

Redline spec'd for Nissan. Z1 Motorsports has it.

[@Qkfltpdls777]

How often do you change diff oil?

[@AnthonyJ350]

I don't drive the car too much, so every other year because it's to get at on the lift. You could change it every 40,000KM. If you're drifting or tracking I'd do it more often.

[@AverageGamerJoe1]

Why do you have that Megan racing brace on your 350? Does it make a difference?

[@AnthonyJ350]

Makes me happy when I look at it. I'm sure it helps, to what extent, not enough to feel driving on the street.

[@AverageGamerJoe1]

@@AnthonyJ350 appreciate the honesty brotha! ❤️

[@AnthonyJ350]

@@AverageGamerJoe1 You're welcome. I do have a video coming up where I install a Bell Raceworks differential brace. Look up that product, it makes a huge difference.

[@Qkfltpdls777]

Is it required to use specific rear differential gear oil for the one with LSD?

[@AnthonyJ350]

I would use the one in the video for optimal results.

[@Qkfltpdls777]

@@AnthonyJ350 FSM doesn’t specifically require to use rear diff oil whether it’s LSD or not (R200 or R200V). Do I still need to use LSD rear diff oil for LSD rear diff? Or can I just use normal gl-5 ?

[@AnthonyJ350]

@@Qkfltpdls777 I just use the gear oil Z1 recommends. I'm also a big fan of using Redline in differentials, transmission and power steering.

[@eyas1990]

do i have to add lsd

[@AnthonyJ350]

LSD additive? The Redline shouldn't require any friction modifiers

[@cali_cal]

that fluid is brand new

[@AnthonyJ350]

It's 4 years old just no mileage on it. Would you rather I don't show you the procedure?

[@talamook]

Your torque specs (25 ft-lb) are NOT correct. The correct specs directly from the Nissan Service Manual Pages MA-24 and MA-25 are (55 - 61 ft-lb) for both the DRAIN and FILL plugs on the DIFFERENTIAL. The torque specs for the for the 350Z manual TRANSMISSION are (22 - 29 ft-lb) for both the DRAIN and FILL plugs. I'm pointing this out not to be a jerk, but to give people the correct information. I've been doing track days for a long time and I have seen 350Z's leaking differential fluid and those people finding out that their differential plug magically disappeared. When speaking to them, their response was something along the lines of "Oh, I thought the torque specs were the same as the transmission." -Have fun, be safe

[@AnthonyJ350]

That's what my Haynes Manual lists it at. 61ft-lbs sounds high for a plug. Not saying you're wrong but I'd write a letter to Haynes.
