Absolutely amazing finally gave me motivation to just do it myself and stop waiting around
Thank you for the video! I didn't know I could buy an adapter for the fill plug!
Thanks for the video!! Getting ready to change my 2013 G37x transmission fluid, car has just shy of 81k miles and I bought it at 72k, so I figured I will start doing it every 10-30k from now on
Very reliable car, I think you'll be fine if you do transmission fluid every 60-100k, but wouldn't hurt doing it more often
30-45k should suffice.
Thank you for this video very detailed doing this on my qx70 tomorrow.
Thanks for watching, let me know how it'll go
Very good job thank you
I like the rear deck lid spoiler.
Just wanted to say thank you for your Infiniti G37 videos. They’ve helped me a lot I recently did my valve cover gaskets and spark plugs thanks to your video. One question I have is how do you diagnose power steering issues my power steering went out and hardly turns while parked thinking it might be the rack and pinion
Thanks for watching and glad to help. I haven't had any issues with power steering on my Infiniti vehicles yet, but I'd first check power steering fluid level. If level is good then check to make sure serpentine belt is intact and is attached to your power steering pump. If that is good, then I'd say issue might be pump or rack. If you are low on power steering fluid then you'll need to find the leak. You can get UV dye, put in the system, and then check with UV flashlight and yellow glasses to see if you can find the leak. Hope it helps.
Is it much more work to do all the gaskets at the same time as the spark plugs?
@@Marinate305 since in order to do the spark plugs you have to take off the throttle body’s all that’s left is the valve covers and manifold. Once you get those off it’s pretty easy, It is a few extra steps but you’re already there so why not do it especially if you do have an oil leak. I would just follow his video as it’s the best detailed video step by step, the only problem I had was the driver side valve cover I couldn’t get it off at first but just took patience
@@Marinate305 Yes, it would require disconnecting bunch of stuff and removing manifold to remove valve covers. If your valve covers do not leak, then just do spark plugs.
Powersteering can be tricky I’m having that issue right now, check your lines if they are good could just be the pulley that your serpentine belt sits on or it could be the actual pump it self
Need to be more level. Love that ATF adapter! Will get!
Yeah, I like this adapter. I figured with car in that position, I'll have slightly above level of ATF fluid, which is always better slightly above than slightly below lol
@Awesome Life what do you mean?
I will be doing this on my '12 G37 soon.. And posting a video of it too
Good luck, it's pretty easy overall
Is there a certain transmission fluid temperature to check or fill it to correct level?
I have a little hand pump that I bought to pump gear oil into the gear case of my outboard motor. I've also used it to fill the diff in my 05 Dodge Magnum RT. I think I could use this pump for the trans fluid fill. The pump cost less than $10 at Walmart. My wife's car is a 2013 EX37 that has about 51k miles on it. That is the intended victim!
That pump should do the work
I need someone to change mine as well. The stealerships will only do the fluids. They will not drop and clean the pan like you did. Excellent job. I am going to purchase a new gasket. Are you in FL by chance?
Yes. I don't think you need a new gasket as they're very robust, but it wouldn't hurt either way.
Should you replace your MAF sensors of is it ok to clean them?
Cleaning should be fine unless it’s actually broken
How many miles did your car have and did it have any symptoms of it needing to be changed
I had about 143k miles on it before first drain and fill. It didn't have any issues, but I think changing every 100k miles is better than when I did it lol
Love those ramps. Do you have a link for those by chance?
Kwik-Lift is the name of it. I think new ones cost about $1500-$2000. I snatched used on local marketplace for about $600. I love them!
@@PZPal thank you!
Did you put anything on the gasket to make it stay? Does the gasket go a certain way?
Nothing extra on top of the liquid gasket. I hand tightened the bolts once oil pan when in and that’s what held it in place.
The transmission oil is the same for all automatic transmission right? Mine is a 2010 g37
To my knowledge fluid is same for all automatic transmission g37s
I’d use Nissan OEM or Amsoil fuel efficient atf fluid! Gl! Buy 5qtz!
150k miles first drain and fill. On that second fill did you leave car running?
No, I don't think so. It's not advisable to run it on empty pan.
why not just disconnect a transmission fluid output cooler hose and drain it one quart at a time and put in one quart fresh from the dipstick? Also why not replace or at least clean the filter while you had the pan off?
You drain more by draining from actual drain plug and 2010 and up models do not have dipsticks. I guess you could drain and fill through the cooler hose, but then you'd have to run the engine every so often to get more fluid rotated around, I think my way is much faster and easier. As far as cleaning the filter, to my knowledge the filters there are not serviceable and from my research these transmissions are very reliable, so just cleaning magnets and oil pan should be sufficient. Thanks for watching
Nice video… So you let it run while refilling it? Why didn’t you go ahead and do the Trans Filter? Usually @ $30-$40. Already apart and w/ 150K? My 2013 is at 81K… I’ll be doing mine at @100K.
Btw… where did you get those ramps?
From what I remember, I had trouble finding compatible filter. And using cheap aftermarket filter would create more doubts for me. I’d say if you’ll get good quality filter, then go for it. Should be very easy.
As far as ramps, they’re called kwik-lift
So I did mine yesterday some people says just tighten all the bolts around the pan left to right and some say u there a certain pattern or they will become loose all bolts are tight but did not follow any pattern should I re do it or should I be ok ?
If you have to do another oil change I'd say do it when you're replacing the fluids. But if not, I don't think it's worth wasting ATF for that. Just check once in a while for leaks. I'd assume if it's not leaking now, it shouldn't leak in the future.
@@PZPal appreciate it man 💪🏾
is it ok to replace the filter on these cars? or should i just leave it alone
Yeah, I just could not find them from dealership and did not want to look for aftermarket options.
How it’s holding with that trans fluid brand??
Still holding up great
Hey man, I have a g37 with 107k miles and I dont think that the fluid was ever changed. I have had the car for only 1.5k miles would it be smart to change it or just leave it? I dont want to mess the tranmission up as it is already laggy.
Mine had 145 when I did my first change. I had the vehicle ever since it had 74k so I am pretty sure atf was never changed. I personally think you should change it out. Just don't vacuum out the fluid as if you put all 100% new fluid could cause issues. If you do simple drain and fill (as shown in my video) and pan drop and clean, you should be good.
@@PZPal yeah thats what I think Im gonna do, I dont have any problems with the trans other than the flare so hopefully this helps it. Thank you
Brother we got the exact same issue ahahaha
G37 with 109k only had it for 2k and I am certain as flip it wasn’t changed cause I changed the oil myself and it was pitch black as well as when I bled the coolant it was absolutely filthy I hate that the pst owner neglected it now I got my first project car
Haven’t done a transmission fluid change at all hopefully tomorrow when I complete this I shall have no issues with the tranny I’ll keep you guys updated 😪
I'm planning to do a transmission fluid and gasket change. Is it bad if I fully flush the old transmission fluid or leave some in there and just put the new one in? I'm planing to use the "Aalvoline Multi-Vehicle (ATF) Full Synthetic Automatic transmission fluid." Would you guys use that one or just use the oem by Nissan? Also, should I even do a transmission fluid change as my car only has 70k miles?
I personally think 100k miles is when you're due for fluid change. 70k miles is a bit too early, but many disagree with me. I did not use OEM fluid, but some other brand (as shown in video), just make sure it is compatible with the vehicle. Drain and fill is much safer than flushing the fluid.
@@PZPal thank you so much! Have a good day!
@PZPal before doing the change, should I run the car on for a bit?
Yes, I usually let it run for 5-10 minutes and also switch gears while it’s running to get transmission warm
@@PZPal thanks again! Have a great day!
What's a good temperature for the transmission? Mine reads at 110 degrees. Is that good?
From my research, 110 is good, my understanding is transmission, when used for duration, can get to 150 or even more. Just make sure transmission is not low on fluid.
@@PZPal how do you make sure it's not low on transmission fluid? My car doesn't have a dip stick
is it the same for a 2011 Infiniti G25 with Automatic Transmission
I think it's same or very similar process, but not 100% sure
For a G25 the procedure is a little bit different my friend. Everything else is similar except at the end there is an additional step of selling the car and getting a G37 😁
Why didn't you change the transmission oil filter?
Was tough to find them online or locally
You got me confused at the part where you where constantly taking the screw in and off. Why do that ? Isn’t it supposed to pump the exact amount you took off?
I taking the screw off to see if it's sipping fluid. The problem with adding the exact quantity of fluid that was drained is if there was leak or whoever did fluid change last time did not put enough, you'll be low on fluid.
Hey I am about to do my transmission change and filter with new transmission sensor I wanted to ask do you think sensor easy to remove
And how the car driving after that
@@Stock.Foreign I am not sure what sensor you're talking about, changing filter shouldn't be tough, but is probably pricey. If you don't have any issues with transmission now, I think cleaning the pan after draining the fluid will be sufficient. I did my first one when the car had 140k miles and it drives great with no issues. I think I have about 150k now.
@@PZPal I am talking about the speed signal sensor
@@PZPal you can see it when you drop the pan
I haven't done that, so not sure. Since it's there I'd assume it will be a fairly easy process. Let me know how it goes or how it went.
How many qts took in?
I think it was about 5, but don't base your experience on mine, it will always be a bit different
No filter change?
Nope. Couldn’t find any in stock
Cant you just refill transmission fluid from dipstick?
Earlier models had dipsticks, but these G37s do not.
@@PZPal is it a 10 mm socket you're using?
@@Muttaqi757 not sure where you're talking about. If you're talking about oil pan then yes, bunch of 10mm bolts.
2010 g37 coupe auto with 107k miles here. Just came to the dealership and they told me that there's no record of a fluid change and that if i change the fluid that it could cause more harm than good.just wondering if it was a bad idea to change the fluid if its never been changed or is it just dealership bs.
I think you should change fluid, don’t vacuum it out, but do a simple drain and fill. You can also clean the oil pan.
@PZPal thanks for the reply, buddy 👍!
Definitely metal shavings
The local Infiniti dealer quoted $260 for this job.
And who knows if they even do anything at all...
My infinity tried to charge me around 4-500🤦♂️
😮@@rpsaynomore9732
Never use a power tool on drain bolts, even for loosing it. 101 mechanics
impact wrench was a better option since the fill plug was damaged, worked better than using regular wrench and stripping the bolt further. Worked for me.
Not always. There are excepetions...
I noticed you said replace the exact amount of fluid but what if mine is very low/empty ? 🥲 How much would I put in it
Wait till fluid sips through the fill hole
