My wife has a 2005 G35X and i need to change the transmission fluid and the differential fluid. Is this something I should try to do myself or take to the shop for. I have changed fluids before, but mostly I personally have owned Chevys so I don't know how much this entails since it is an all wheel drive car. If I do take this to the garage how much money should I be looking at spending?

For the transmission, the issue is no dipstick...I'm not even sure on the filling tube. Feel free to check out the FSM (link in my sig).

The diff fluid should be relatively easy.

Thanks for your reply. I actually checked that page out right after I posted the thread. I think just because of the scope of work I am just going to bring it to the dealership. I would rather be safe than sorry. I don't want to mess anything up on the car then end up paying even more.
