I am fixing to turn 100k miles. I drive 120 miles a day highway.

I am planning on a transmission flush. $200

I recently replaced all brakes and rotors. Tires, oil, and basics are every 5k miles. What else? Any suggestions.

I am wondering where you are getting your transmission changed for $200? I know the trans takes 12qts at $12-15 p/qt for Nissan J-Matic . I would say make sure they are flushing all of it, and also have you replaced the fluid at least once already. That is only if you have an automatic.

As for scheduled service I would say flush the differential, as well as the brake fluid. Make sure your air filter and belts are new, or at least in good condition. Also you may want to think about the in cabin filter, and spark plugs. I would also say to check and possibly adjust your parking brake and reset your base idle.

Are you havin any problems with your G at this time?

Many of the other guys here have their own recommendation for fluids, personally I like the stuff that came with the car when it was new. Factory fluid is the way to go,IMO.

EDIT- I am going to move this thread to the engine section to draw some more attention.

Steve's suggestions are right on.

An alignment probably wouldn't hurt either if you haven't had one in the past year or two.

I'm picky about which fluids I keep Nissan and which I change. Obviously the engine oil changes to a nice synthetic. Brake fluid could also be improved (depending on the type of driving you do).

Thanks alot. No problems at all. I baby it. I will get those fluids changed quickly.

I am planning on putting it up for sale soon.

$16,000 for an 04' coupe with 100k miles - Is that too much?

If it's in good condition, that shouldn't be too much.

Steve is right. Use factory fluids, I cannot even begin to tell you how good they are. Do the differential as well as the transmission flush as well.
