I just got mine a few months ago like 3 second owner w 135k I got 10 k miles on it took it from Seattle to La and back handled like a champ daily drive it and pulls pretty good. Any advice on keeping the tranny giod
As an Infiniti tech myself, I highly recommend changing your transmission fluid if your vehicle has less than like 150k miles. And changing it every 30k or so after that. It’ll help that tranny last longer and stay healthier. If you bring it somewhere ask for a drain and fill. With Nissan matic S. Or you can diy. It’s fairly simple. I always drop the pan and clean the small metal screen inside on my personal car. One fluid I don’t really recommend changing is the transfer case fluid if you are awd. We actually have seen a good chunk of cars that had their transfer case fluid changed, need transfer cases shortly after. Especially higher Milage ones. I believe it has something to do with the clutches breaking down and clogging things or getting stuck in bad places when draining. Only top it off. Too risky in my opinion! Had an older lady’s transfer case go out two weeks ago after she got her fluid changed unfortunately. 😢
Can I do a BG drain and fill on a machine making sure to use the matic S? 2012 Infiniti G37 Coupe RWD 114K miles. If so, how many quarts should I swap?
@@investinjahcoin5029 awesome thanks. It is the PTX machine where you hook the hoses up, one extracts the fluid while the other injects the new fluid back in simultaneously.

Happy to find u guys, thanks for putting these info out. Is there an AFTER MARKET differential bushing available for the 2009 rwd FX35? I am badly in need for it. As INFINITI wants over 2000 dollars to replace this bushing. i live in the ORLANDO area, do you or anyone knows of any good infiniti mech in the area? i would really appreciate a reply regardless. thnx.
@ honestly I would just put some sort of epoxy inside the blown bushing. I’ve done it on three of my cars with no issues. It’s like a $5 fix instead of a few thousand dollar fix. I’ve used glass sealant or construction adhesive as well. It basically fills up the bushing cavity where the fluid is supposed to be. As long as it’s near the same hardness it’ll feel the same as a new bushing. MotorvateDIY on UA-cam has a great video on it Or I would contact z1 motor sports and see if their diff bushing fits your fx. I don’t know off the top of my head
I have a 2014 Q50 3.7 with 154K miles on the clock. I have serviced by Infiniti and Nissan only. Still runs like new. I still get compliments on the car because it doesn’t look dated. It’s as gorgeous as ever. Love my Q50😊
I have a 2015, and I only have it serviced at the dealer. I work with the same service consultant. 96K miles, and it's been smooth sailing. Though costly, well worth the investment.
with antifreeze, you can unplug the cabin heater core hose at the return-to-engine hose preferably or use the air bleeder port which is also on the heater core hose if you have one - careful its just plastic and will be brittle with high mileage so maybe get a aftermarket metal one or a new original before trying to open it. youll also need a snug fitting philips screw driver. then get one of those antifreeze fill funnels which makes an extra high fill point that will push the old fluid out within a few minutes and you dont have to bleed air out of the system. takes 2 gallons to get most of the old stuff out. i used a different brand and color antifreeze so that helped me figure out when the old stuff was all cleared out but you can count to 2 gallons if you use the same color. i heard transmission flush machines at dealers use too high pressure and thats what breaks it. you can drain your transmission and fill it at the transmission cooler return hose but you'll have to figure out how to get the new fluid in that return hose which honestly im not sure will even let fluid flow into the transmission, it wont go back into the the direction of the pump, though. if that doesn't work then find a hose that will fit into the drain pan fill port which is like a 1cm wide opening that takes forever to fill. the evils of taking away the transmission dipstick tube - deterring DIYers so you go back to dealer and give them money. and saying its lifetime fluid lol so your trans breaks and you need a new one or a new car. transmission fluids also have a time limit as well as a mileage limit which i hear is 8 years. the original nissan fluid was 12 years old but very low mileage and it was quite brown/oxidated. the transmission now shifts better too. make sure to count how many liters came out and put that much back in. for accidentally filling 87 fuel, put the car in eco mode and even then drive slowly with no hard acceleration attempts to prevent engine damage until you use up the gas tank.
Had a valve cover gasket fail at 100k, noticed it when I did the tune up, only one side was bad the other is still ok, my old maxima did the same thing and never had to replace the other side either, the problem was because of the pcv valves were clogged and it blew out the gasket, so always replace the pcv valves at 50k, it's so easy, the dealer wanted 300, lol.

just got a 14 q50 with the 3.7 last friday thanks to you, cant wait to get it where i want it. Alr went over the entire cooling system, thinking about doing the scs catback for it for first mod lol.
@@Muddmonkeyy yeah i saw em but prefer the the setup he has due to the sound, its not that difficult my parts should be here by next friday and itll be off to the exhaust shop. I was more so just expressing excitement...lol.
Hey Chris. I've had my Q50 3.7 liter for about 5 years now. One of the first things I did was change the exhaust. One of the cheapest things you can do is get the "Infiniti Sport Exhaust", from the dealership. Its a axle back exhaust for only like $500. And it sounds almost as good as what SpeedCulture has.
I'm not sure if you said it or not but break fluid also. For Transmission it's recommended to drop the fluid change the fluid. You gotta. Make sure you take it to a mom & pop shop no big chain shops.
Been wanting a q50 for a few years just never went through wit it. For sure getting it pretty used in the 80k-110 mile range what are the price ranges you’d recommend are a good deal in comparison to the mileage it has. Sorry if the question is confusing. I’m also in Michigan if that helps
Very fast extremely reliable sport sedan. Best you'll ever own. I've had 3 already, all driven to high km with very little maintenance. Stick to bulletproof 3.7, not the 3.0 turbo which I think is based on a German block (mercedes?😂) Live and learn... Ignore the bought and paid for "car reviews" lol... Those who know, know 😊👍
I’m pretty sure my guy flushed it but it runs fine, but he’s more mechanically inclined so me might’ve known not too, but i didn’t ask for a flush but does seem good right now
Got my 2014 3.7 with 13k and now Snow White is 149k only issue I had with her is the valve body 2 years ago and just today. My catalytic converter, cause my car to over heat and limp mode. But took the car off until can put another one on but with my Stillen exhaust sounds nice 😊
I have a 2016 QX50 and for a year now its been clunking on changing gears and rattles when going over bumps. Brought it to a Nissan dealership (they couldn't determine the problem) 3other independent mechanics have looked at it and cant figure out what the noise/issue is - its less obvious when I have the winter tires on which are different than the summer/fall tires - now someone has suggested its the driveshaft - your thoughts
If you’re replacing struts, I would just look into Coilovers. It won’t be any more expensive, you get some adjustability and the car will handle better.
My valve body dropped at 105k, I had the transmission flush at 60k, but that was not good enough, even though I didn't abuse her, the trans needs a change, every 36k, and dont drive in sport ever, and dont rev the rpms past 5 ever, then you shouldn't ever need to fix it, cost 3500 for the part install and program
Damn it sucks you can't use sport mode unless you have to deal with expensive issues like this, luckily this car is fast enough in standard so i'll try to stay from it
I went to the local Nissan Dealer since it is closer to my house. $1200 for the valve body and a few other parts, but the total was $2954. I’ve never kept the car that long but since it was in perfect shape and only had 66,000 miles I figured I would be OK but I should have looked at the updated reviews over the last couple of years.
As a owner of a 2014 3.7 q50 i can say ive had every issue and agree with everything he has said. when i got my tranny rebuilt the shifts are more jumpy and flushing it is definitely what caused it.
@@SpeedCultureStudios it has a hiccup in 5th gear when the car is cold. The rpm’s will surge up before shifting. Only in 5th gear. But after the car is warm that doesn’t happen anymore
Hello there question for the day have 2017 infiniti 50 S AWD .Start up my car put in drive but once l hit reverse horn goes off past reverse it stops.Once l ready to shut off same vicea versa move the shifter up to reverse horn goes off past reverse horn stops .. Now any fixes on this issue plz ..
I just bought a 2019 q50 3.0 runs great wanted to know if i should upgrade my airfilter once i change it just to be on the safe side are the different drive modes meant to be used like i wont mess it up eventually if i keep driving super fast on standard mode?
I’m thinking about getting a q50 should I get a 2017 wit 71k miles or a 2021 with 40k the 21 in 5k more. This is finna my first “modern” car I own a 06 rsx-s rn but need more space cuz baby😮💨 Both 3.0
@SpeedCultureStudios I have a question when talking about the drain and fill for the transmission. What do you mean exactly because on my car I’ve been feeling a little hesitation on the transmission and it’s not shifting right and it’s time for me to change the transmission fluid, but I don’t know if I should fully drain out all the old fluid and put a new fluid or I don’t know what to do
Hey Speedculturestudios!! I’m doing that scs catback soon. Could you link your front lip and spoiler? Also do you have to tune the car after getting the catback? I have ‘15 Q50
Just check out the spoiler and splitter videos. They are linked there. I’d have to go find them now. Or you can check out the link to my “favorite things” in the description. I believe I have them in there
@@dominicgiancana93 hey, there are high flow cats on his SCS catback. Then will it be necessary. It’s been holding me back because it’s my daily and I don’t want to tune my daily and fuck it over
usually the valve body’s on these 3.7 are trash. It’s a speed sensor that goes out but you can’t just switch it out. You’d have to purchase the whole assembly (valve body) and get it replaced and reprogrammed. Suggest getting it from the dealer!!!
Quick question, do you know if the hybrid engine will run as long as the 3.7? A 2014 hybrid popped up locally around me and just wondered if it would be as reliable as a 3.7 non hybrid
Always change the trans fluid on this car. I had to replace my valve body on my 15 q50 and I bet anything it had to do with low pressure or overheating transmission.
No sir. Seems to be no rhyme or reason to valve body failures in these. In fact, people have experienced failure after a fluid change. The recommendation is to not touch the trans fluid if the car is shifting normally.
@@SpeedCultureStudios what a shame they left us with this failure with no assistance. Luckily, I could replace this myself, but the majority of people are not so lucky and it's 4500 at least to have it fixed.
i have a 2015 3.7 awd with 147k miles and the trans stopped working or i dont know what it moves slow and when i hit the gas the engine revs high but moves slow what do you suggest?
ok cause i took it to a trans shop and they said i have to rebuild the internals they want 5k i was going to change the transfer case oil and differential oil and trans fluid with filter u think that might help i never done it?
@@OscarGonzalez-ix7dj transfer case fluid won’t do anything for the trans issue. 5k rebuild is nonsense. You can find a used trans for $1000 and have it installed. Better idea is to swap it with a trans from a 2017+. It takes a few extra things, but you won’t have to worry so much about the valve body failing again
Actually the transfer case takes a special transfer case fluid! Not matic S like the transmission. I also do not recommend changing the fluid on your transfer case. I work at an Infiniti and have seen a bunch of transfer cases go out after changing the fluid. It’s very finicky. Too risky in my opinion. Especially if you have a higher Milage vehicle
@@investinjahcoin5029 I was gonna change my transfer case fluid soon but I'm having second thoughts after reading your comment. I'm at 74k miles with no previous service history on the transfer case. Worth the risk or better off to just leave it in your opinion?
Every hundred thousand miles you should replace the spark plugs on the 3.7L VQ. Coolant services should performed every 60,000 miles. Transmission service should be performed every 50,000 miles.
Spark plugs are supposed to be done every 25k but 50k is probably fine. 100k is WAY too far without a plug change. Please don’t wait 100k to change plugs! I agree with coolant service at 60k. Trans should not be touched before 75k unless it’s shifting weird and even at that should only be a drain and fill, not a full flush service.
I was looking into buying a q50s or a q60s but someone told me to stay away from the V6 twin turbo engine or you will regret especially if it has over 100,000 Mi on it. it really that bad?
great info, again. thnx. maybe u can help me? i need the DIFFERENTIAL BUSHING for my 2009 FX35 rwd suv. Can you say which AFTERMARKET bushing will be a fit for the vehicle? and do u know of any good mechanic in the orlando area? thnx.
@@SpeedCultureStudios so far sometimes at stops, the car doesnt move for a second. But then jolts back even if i put a little pressure on the gas peddle.
@@No16873I’ve ran into the same problem it feels like a hiccup. The RPMs rise and it takes the car about a second to actually go and jerks the whole car.

@@dominicgiancana93 hey, there are high flow cats on his SCS catback. Then will it be necessary. It’s been holding me back because it’s my daily and I don’t want to tune my daily and fuck it over
@@carlossandoval976 no sir. But the catback is designed for use with test pipes so you’d want to tune after test pipes
I have a 2017 q50 3.0 & I been having it for 4 years it has 93,000 miles and the transmission is always slipping on 1 and 2nd gear 😭😭😭
are you able to elaborate on the q50 transmission problems? couldn't catch what you were saying about it. thanks
usually the valve body’s on these 3.7 are trash. It’s a speed sensor that goes out but you can’t just switch it out. You’d have to purchase the whole assembly (valve body) and get it replaced and reprogrammed. Suggest getting it from the dealer!!!
also it’s very expensive just got mine done yesterday after 80k miles
@@nathanmedina4225same thing happened to me lol cost’s around 850$ but I only paid 300$ under warranty.
@@nathanmedina4225how much did you spend ?
Quick question, do you know if the hybrid engine will run as long as the 3.7? A 2014 hybrid popped up locally around me and just wondered if it would be as reliable as a 3.7 non hybrid
I’ve heard nothing but good feedback about the hybrid. The Nissan/Infiniti 3.5 is a great engine
How much do you pay for insurance if you don’t mind me asking
Under 100 a month
@@SpeedCultureStudios oh I thought it would be way more, and I’m 41
Always change the trans fluid on this car. I had to replace my valve body on my 15 q50 and I bet anything it had to do with low pressure or overheating transmission.
No sir. Seems to be no rhyme or reason to valve body failures in these. In fact, people have experienced failure after a fluid change. The recommendation is to not touch the trans fluid if the car is shifting normally.
@@SpeedCultureStudios what a shame they left us with this failure with no assistance. Luckily, I could replace this myself, but the majority of people are not so lucky and it's 4500 at least to have it fixed.
@@tarickk6132 yes it can be a very expensive fix!
Is there an auto shop you trust in south Carolina?
I mean it’s a big state, but in the Greenville area I use Ultimate Motorsport and Racing
@@SpeedCultureStudios Thank you I just moved to Greenville
i have a 2015 3.7 awd with 147k miles and the trans stopped working or i dont know what it moves slow and when i hit the gas the engine revs high but moves slow what do you suggest?
Valve body is done.
ok cause i took it to a trans shop and they said i have to rebuild the internals they want 5k i was going to change the transfer case oil and differential oil and trans fluid with filter u think that might help i never done it?
@@OscarGonzalez-ix7dj transfer case fluid won’t do anything for the trans issue. 5k rebuild is nonsense. You can find a used trans for $1000 and have it installed. Better idea is to swap it with a trans from a 2017+. It takes a few extra things, but you won’t have to worry so much about the valve body failing again
Bro you forgot us awd boys.
Transfer case is one quart of same fluid you use in the trans... lol stil liked the vid. 😊
Yes, trans, transfer case, rear diff, brake fluid-all fluids.
@SpeedCultureStudios yes we all agree 👍 all the fluids. Lol 😆
Actually the transfer case takes a special transfer case fluid! Not matic S like the transmission. I also do not recommend changing the fluid on your transfer case. I work at an Infiniti and have seen a bunch of transfer cases go out after changing the fluid. It’s very finicky. Too risky in my opinion. Especially if you have a higher Milage vehicle
@@investinjahcoin5029 I couldn’t advise on doing transfer case fluid as I do not have the awd and haven’t done it myself. I’ll take your word for it!!
@@investinjahcoin5029 I was gonna change my transfer case fluid soon but I'm having second thoughts after reading your comment. I'm at 74k miles with no previous service history on the transfer case. Worth the risk or better off to just leave it in your opinion?
anyone have recommendations for front bumper?
Every hundred thousand miles you should replace the spark plugs on the 3.7L VQ. Coolant services should performed every 60,000 miles. Transmission service should be performed every 50,000 miles.
Spark plugs are supposed to be done every 25k but 50k is probably fine. 100k is WAY too far without a plug change. Please don’t wait 100k to change plugs! I agree with coolant service at 60k. Trans should not be touched before 75k unless it’s shifting weird and even at that should only be a drain and fill, not a full flush service.
Where did you order your big brake kit from?
Check out my big brake videos
I was looking into buying a q50s or a q60s but someone told me to stay away from the V6 twin turbo engine or you will regret especially if it has over 100,000 Mi on it. it really that bad?
No
I have a 2015 Q50 with 66k and the tranny died this week. At dealership now. They said $3000. How can this happen when the car is like new?
The trans on the VQ seems to be hit or miss. It’s unfortunate they didn’t have a recall on this
Are you sure it wasn’t the valve body???? What were your problems ??
It was exact symptoms. Wouldn’t shift past 3rd gear.
@@robertmelio4262could be you’re valve body if you have high rpms but aren’t going past 20 or 30mph.
it’s sad what little young people maintain there g’s / q’s
Wait your Q is RWD and not AWD ? @speedculture
Yes
I own a 2018 at 120,000 have had no issue. Yeah i know i drive alot lol.
No point in having it if you don’t drive it!!

guys I’ve had this whining sound whenever I turn right on my car, what could that be? Infiniti q50 premium 3.0t
Could be the ac compressor
great info, again. thnx. maybe u can help me? i need the DIFFERENTIAL BUSHING for my 2009 FX35 rwd suv. Can you say which AFTERMARKET bushing will be a fit for the vehicle? and do u know of any good mechanic in the orlando area? thnx.
i just got a 2015 q50
You’ll enjoy it!
@@SpeedCultureStudios so far sometimes at stops, the car doesnt move for a second. But then jolts back even if i put a little pressure on the gas peddle.
@@No16873 seems strange
@@No16873I’ve ran into the same problem it feels like a hiccup. The RPMs rise and it takes the car about a second to actually go and jerks the whole car. I’ve talked to multiple ppl about it and all have said it’s just a touching thing and will get used to it overtime try n be a little more aggressive when pulling off I’ve noticed it happens less you don’t need to floor it but a strong press on the gas

Bro did I just see 14.4 mpg?

3.7 barely even counts as q50 at this point in 2023. U have a g37
That doesn’t even make sense
