The notches on the oil cap are meant to fit a large wrench to unscrew it. The pressure from driving the car will make the oil cap really hard to remove.
@@JoeVazquez Yeah man, definitely do it! I used to have this problem on my 06 G35 sedan, until I got a billet aluminum Nismo oil fill cap from Z1 Motorsports. The stock plastic cap is literal garbage. Just think about it, a plastic cap in a hot engine bay, it expands and contracts, and that's why it won't come off when you want to add some oil, even if it is snug. I highly recommend the aluminum Nismo oil fill cap, the only MAJOR downside is if you drove your G recently, the cap will be hot and will burn your hand. Just get a towel/rag and you'll be fine.
@Strange Daze Are you talking about the aluminum oil fill cap? If so, yes they are available for Zs and Gs (not sure about Infiniti Qs) and they do work. As long as you don't tighten it down too much, you'll be able to get it off by hand (compared to the garbage plastic cap).
My 03 has the same oil cap issue. I little trick that saved me was simply lubing the threads with fresh oil as I’m doing the oil change and when u put the cap back on, stop tightening when it stops. Just make it snug. DONT force it tighter. As u drive the oil pressure will tighten it more. Should be a lot easier to remove with just ur hands next time.
There’s another video that shows the arrows pointing down. You have yours pointing up. Which way does the air flow. I would think in from the top and down through the bottom into the cabin. I just got a 2005 G 35X love it. 71,000 miles. Always garage. I want to do the right thing. Thanks for your input.
that dipstick trick would’ve been nice for the trip, it was giving me false reads and i didn’t know if i should add or remove oil😅 just did a quick change instead in Arkansas and she ran beautifully again
2000 Nissan Maxima has the same oil cap issue put it on and snug it with two fingers have to take it off with two hands oil filter is the same way I snug it down with one hand but need a wrench to remove it
Man my G over heated twice because I didn’t know the fans stopped working on high!! Really wish I would’ve seen this video before that happened, thankfully no damage to the motors and since changing the fans, she’s ran great.
Hey bro I just bought an 2006 an old man had. I have watched several of your vids, even though mine is a sedan, but they are pretty much the same on a lot of parts. Thank you for your awesome videos that people can actually understand and make sencse!!!! I Subed brother!!!
Everyone always clowns on me for having to use pliers to take off my oil cap. Glad I'm not the only one! Also I never knew about diag mode after almost 5 years of having my G. Good tip man thanks.
Checking out a G35 that I might buy tomorrow. The Diag mode will be helpful in checking some stuff out. Plus, I could ask the guy to hit the brakes for me, but this'll play some mind games with him lol
I having issues with my brakes. I changed the cam prongs and disconnected the battery from the engine. Now when I start the car the brakes don't work. I had to get a tow . I thought I needed a brake booster. I need help with diagnosis? Do I need to do a computer reset? Or booster?
Hey, I have the same headlights and i don't know what lights to buy that will fit the low beams you know the larger lower light part. Do I need a conversion kit or can I just get a specific type of lights. It was supposed to be plug and play but that's not the case, lol?
Bro I need a little help with my g 35 it went in to limp mode now it only starts by jumping it at the starter and when the ac get turn on the transmission mode display in the instermental panel show neutral and the car does not move Any suggestion would really help Thanks
An owner before he had an after market spectre air filter and I didn’t know it was washable so I bought another one but I don’t know how to replace it. The filter is the smallest of the sizes
That's sweet. I just got a 2005 G35 sedan. I'm loving it! I have a question though. My battery seems to have a parasitic draw, I'm pretty sure it's the aftermarket stereo. Anyway do you know if you can still use the info function? ( information for the current conditions of the vehicle) I did not install system, previous owner did.
You may have a messed up sensor that detects when the lights should be on or not, I’m not entirely sure what the piece is called but you’d probably just need to replace it and it should all work again
Wow, they went backwards on the G37 on access to the cabin filter! It's now 7 screws and they are much harder to reach! What was infiniti thinking? Many owners ditch the 7th screw that is really hard to reach since even 6 screws is overkill plus you have to remove 2 plastic panels which are easy enough.
1) Is the charcoal canister a lifetime thing? 2) Also an owner before me, on my g35 put a spectre aftermarket air filter but I bought another one not knowing it was washable but I’m not sure how to change it. 3) also my car is making like a squeaking noise after I turn my car off in the front any ideas what that might be? As far as I know my car doesn’t have any engine problems
Hi Joe, thanks for this video. pls I have a problem with my electrical. the wipers, dashboard lights, sunroof on my 2004 g35 is not working. the dashboard lights goes off when I turn on the headlights. Also there is this noise under the car that i kept hearing when the car is on. pls help me. thanks
How many miles you got i put 219 on my maxima 2007 then the 2nd motor to 239 miles i need to do some work on it... average car does not go over 100k miles with the same motor and transmission some dont hit 60k miles
Yeah the cap is a bitch to get off I keep a pair of plyers in my truck just for that...in fact I keep a mini tool collection in my G from past encounters lol
Hey I'm hoping you can give me a clue or help, maybe you know someone who's had the same issue maybe not. I've got a g35 coupe 2006, ive owned ot for about 9 months and when I first bought the car I bought a key fob for it, ive watched all of the videos on how to get it It to the syncing mode for the remote but for whatever reason my car will not go into the mode to pair to my remote any idea
Im about to check out a 06 g35 stick shift coupe with 77k miles on it, it appears to have a clean title and in extremely good condition, theyre asking for 15k but im not tryna pay more than 12.5k
Don’t rice it haha in all seriousness it all depends on what your goals are! Are you going for power, something that handles better, looks? That way you work towards what you want out of the g!
I definitely showed it wrong! I didn’t want to flip it at that point since one side had all the dirt but I will be changing it as soon as possible since it’s been a minute since over had it on the car!

Definitely a unique feature good stuff!
Bro I swear to god somebody torques down my oil fill cap during the night. That shits always soooooo hard to take off
Hahahaha them dam caps man 😩

Thanks man I really appreciate! 🙏🙏
The last one is very convenient, ima try it when I get home to my G 😳
Let me know how it goes!!
damn did u jus forgot

The notches on the oil cap are meant to fit a large wrench to unscrew it. The pressure from driving the car will make the oil cap really hard to remove.

I may be wrong but I think the direction of airflow on the cabin filter should be pointing down because its sucking air from above and into the cabin.
Imwas about to say something but decided to check if someone alreadt posted it😂
Thanks for watching guys!

Dude I had no idea there was a button in the driver side panel 🤣
That's badass!
cool. I've owned my 2007 since brand new and never knew about test mode. It worked even on my car with push-button start.
just got a g35 and can relate to that brutal oil cap prying my arm off

Dude this diagnostic mode helped me but would it tell you some way if your steering rack is bad ?
add a little oil to the o ring on the oil cap it helps a lot
Love the last tip
Ty...can u tell me why my lights don't work in auto anymore?
You may have a messed up sensor that detects when the lights should be on or not, I’m not entirely sure what the piece is called but you’d probably just need to replace it and it should all work again

Last one is new to me, Thanks good find
im buying an 0'4 g35 with 30k miles, super excited
Hell yes!!!!!!! Welcome to the family bro!
That diag mode tho! Never seen this on hundreds of videos I’ve seen on g35s
Same with the gas cap! Hate it I always have to remember where I put my pliers

I went with the K&N cabin filter also bought the cleaning kit so I can just clean it when spring gets here and clean it again at fall
