Replying to: tellico1 (Jun 01, 2008 1:42 pm) nope, the car is made to take 91 or higher, you will lose performance with cheap oil and gas. they say you can use 89 in special cases only when you can't find 91, but you must take the supreme. Fill in 94 and you will see how much more mileage you get. I seemed to get better mileage so i only use 94 now. You will feel a huge difference with every gas type you fill with this car. 94 is extremely smooth you will think you have a brand new car. Use good oil too like pennzoil or castrol. I use castrol gtx high mileage ( i have 150,000km on the car). Its a luxury car so give it the luxury it needs and it won't treat you bad, you'll enjoy the ride so much more trust me.

I use high mileage oil, a K & N filter and regular gas. I get 25 to 28 MPG avgs. depending on driving style and use. The car has never seemed to need the higher octane. I do fill up the tank with higher octane when I take longer highway roadtrips just to clean things out. Car is a solid performer I must say.
#392 of 559 Trans fluid question by witnessx Jun 20, 2008 (7:37 am)
Does the automatic transmission fluid in the 2000-2001 cars need to be drained and replaced at a specific mileage, or is it "lifetime fill"? I ask because I have a 2000, and the last time I had the oil changed, the place I went to checked the trans fluid, and they said it was "really murky".

#394 of 559 fuel filter replacement diagram 01' Infiniti I30 by wingsovgrace Jun 24, 2008 (3:39 pm)
I'm a lady without a clue about this topic. Need to replace the fuel filter and would like some very patient elementary school teacher type to give me the ABC's and tell me where I can find an actual diagram. Thanks! Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jun 25, 2008 7:59 am)

Replying to: wingsovgrace (Jun 24, 2008 3:39 pm) A rather messy job for a rookie. The fuel filter is in your gas tank. You'd probably want a repair shop to do it (I would). You have to de-pressurize the fuel injection system, (by releasing pressure from a valve that looks like a tire valve, in the fuel rail), then remove the back seat, then remove the inspection plate, then disconnect the fuel pump electrical connections, disconnect the quick-connect fuel lines, extract the pump and float level from the gas tank, and disassemble pump unit and put in a new fuel filter and reassemble everything.   The "book" says it takes a mechanic .9 of an hour to do this. So figure 2X that for a DIYer.   More power to you if you want to tackle this. I think if you were patient and if you had a repair manual showing you step by step you could do this safely. You might also need a special tool for the quick-disconnect fuel lines however, not sure.   You could check with your public library for a repair manual. They probably have it.   Work safely around the fuel pressure relief valve and while in the gas tank area, please!   Visiting Host

Replying to: witnessx (Jun 20, 2008 7:37 am) The manual doesn't specify a standard change interval; my local dealership suggests servicing every 30k miles, which seems reasonable. Replies to this message: witnessx (Jun 27, 2008 5:51 pm)
