#24 of 32 60,000 mile maintenance service by jaydh Jun 16, 2006 (6:08 pm)
What should I expect to pay for 60K mi maintenance service on my 2002 I-35 Infiniti? What are opinions whether to take to dealer or to local shop. Dealer wants around $1,000 and local shop in area of $500. I think they are both rips. Half of the service is checking this and that. At 60K I still have original brakes. For peace of mind should I think about replacing serpentine belts at this time? Was told there are some minor cracks.   Any opinions welcomed!   Thanks Replies to this message: shiska (Jun 22, 2006 7:10 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Nov 13, 2006 9:44 am)

Replying to: jaydh (Jun 16, 2006 6:08 pm) Welcome to the world of entry level luxury parts and service charges! IMO the time expended to perform all the services listed in the service booklet for the 60,000 mi. maintenance (except for the transmission fluid and antifreeze changes) should not exceed two and one half hours plus parts and lubricants.The tranny and rad can be done anywhere, but I would use the Nissan fluids, and,in fact, that is what I do myself. I am fortunate in that I can do most of the labour myself, but even if you can't you'll save money (use Nissan lubricants and keep your receipts if you still have warranty).Having said this I can assure you that the local dealer here would have no trouble reaching the 1K mark for this service if one were inclined to go there. Anyway, GOOD LUCK, and where are all the rest of you faithfull Infiniti owners!

Anyone here do work on their own I35 and is replacing the rear brake pads similar to the front. What ref brand and part number you used. Thanks

Replying to: jaydh (Jun 16, 2006 6:08 pm) I'd say if you were out of warranty to go with a trusted independent shop---but go over the whole list beforehand and set your priorities.   I say "out of warranty" because if you are still in warranty and say the indie shop puts in the wrong fluid into this or that, that could burn you on a claim. If the dealer can find evidence (wrong color fluid, stripped bolt, signs of sloppy work), he (or the extended warranty company) could use that to deny a claim.   So if you ARE in warranty, you'd have to really trust your indie shop and make sure every "t" is crossed and every "i" dotted.

#30 of 32 Tire presure ??? by ferdi1 Jun 28, 2009 (10:55 am)
Hi guys,   I was wondering what is the standard tire pressure for the tires. I red under the armrest and it says 32psi but when i go to 32 psi the tires look very low to me ?   I keep the rear tires at 34psi and the front ones at 38 psi ? Is that OK ?   Also the max tire pressure for my tires is 44psi (That is what the writings on the tire says).

Replying to: ferdi1 (Jun 28, 2009 10:55 am) 32 psi is just about right for comfort and traction on this car. Higher psi will save on gas but less tire traction especially in wet weather. Since this car drives front wheels, I would keep the rear tires psi higher than the front tires psi for the traction purpose.

Replying to: ferdi1 (Jun 28, 2009 10:55 am) I run mine at 33 front, 30 rear. Seems to work pretty well; I have tremendous grip, even in the rain.
