Hi all! I am a proud new owner of a G37 coupe.
What type of gas is recommended? Can I put the highest octane gas(93 i believe)? Also what type of oil is a good choice for oil changes? One last thing, is there a tutorial on how to reset my tire pressure light on the dash?
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to NICO

There are a gazillion threads here on gasoline octane and oil. If you don't have an owners manual it can be downloaded.

There is a sticker on your drivers door frame that give tire pressure info. If all your tires are inflated correctly and the TPMS light remains on then one or more TPMS wheel sensors are not communicating to the antenna module and the BCM.
Each wheels sensor has a non replaceable battery.
I assume you did not purchase your vehicle from a dealer as they will not allow a vehicle to leave their shop without the TPMS working correctly.
i would advise you to take the vehicle to an Infiniti dealer to not only completely check out your vehicle but to run your VIN number to verify that any TSB's were done.
Also each TPMS sensor should be properly paired to the correct wheel.

Congrats Savaex. Post some pics so we can see your new ride. I had an 2008 coupe too, recently replaced with a 2012. My only issue was battery related. It drains very quickly, so don't listen to music too long without the car running.

Question about TPMS. How does the pairing occur? I would think that ultimately this is just software and the receiver just needs to be able to recogize the sensors right? Reason I ask, is when I bought my current car (2012 G37 Coupe), I had my rims from my old car (2008 G37 Coupe) put on my new car. While negotiating for the car, the Sales Manager told me some story of how he had to put both cars on lifts and swap sensors from all 8 wheels and it was gonna cost him labor to do all of that, which I didnt believe.

Thanks guys. I actually did buy it from a dealership with 81k miles on it and no previous accidents. The tire pressure light was on when i 1st seen the car at the dealership. But the dealership included brand new tires (goodyear eagle LS'. Are those good?). I took it straight from the dealership to Belle tire where they installed my new tires. The tire pressure light was still on so I am guessing its the censor. Im not too worried about it. Im more curious about gas types since my tank is almost empty :P.

Will post a pic after i wash it.

Welcome aboard. If the TPMS is showing and the tires are at the right pressure then you have a bad sensor and will need to get it replaced.

You are going to hate those Eagle LS's as they rate quite poorly on TireRack. The dealership must have gotten them for cheap
