Ok, my truck is due for the 30k service, its actually at 33k but I was waiting till i needed to change the oil to do it all at once and I'm thinking of doing it myself.

My questions are, is it ok that I do it myself and is there any special tools or equipment needed to do the tranny and anti freeze? What I was going to do was change the Oil, Tranny fluid rear diff and anti freeze and replace the in cabin filter. Do I need to be aware of over filling or doing something wrong? Is there anything else that needs to be done for the 30k service? I live pretty far from the nearest dealership thats why I wanna do it myself.

Also can I buy all the fluids threw Nissan(Nissan brand) and what weight of fluids do I need. If so does anybody know any pricing on these fluids so I know im not taken for a ride when I go in to buy them. I have an 04 and I know they changed the fluid weight for the rear end. Any help on this is appreciated. Thanks again guys!!!!!

i need to do mine to. but i just changed all my oils and i have a k&n intake so that is half of the stuf they do and they want to charge me 444 dollars to do it i wonder if they will give me a discount since i did half of the stuff already?

The prices dealers charge these days are right up there with doctor & medical fees.

I talked to the service manager and he knows I do all my own fluids, wipers and stuff. He printed out the 30K checklist and scratched off what I don't need. It really cut the price. If you know him then they will work with you. Hope that helps
