Hi All,

I have a 2003 G35 Coupe (currently with 112k miles) and want to keep it for several more years. I'd like to get tips on the main maintenance I need to keep doing, for example:

1. Oil and filter changes (full synthetic oil) every 7k miles
2. Air filter change (K&N). Apparently you just need to clean these every 25k miles and they are good for the life of the car
3. Timing belt replcement (just did this at 100k miles). When would I next have to do this?

What else?

Thanks!

Here is the FSM for your car. There should be a section for maintenance.

We don't have timing belts - we have timing chains. If you paid someone to change the timing belts i bet they stole your money.

Trans fluid every 30-60K miles (depending on what you do)

Differential fluid (every 30K miles)

other than that, just fix things if anything goes bad. not much should

Yes I meant the timing chain.

I am a safe driver and drive it like a regular car, not a sports car.
