Major Service (sort Of)

[Hulk1010]

Hello there!

I service my car every 5000

My car just passed 100k (i'm sure it's done much more though) anyway, i've already got new disk brakes+pads, new timing belt got put on when i bought the car last year.

I'm gonna get my mechanic to do the following next week sometime, i got this info from another thread:

-Diff oil

-Gearbox oil

-Water and coolent

-Water pump

-Cam and crank seals

-Clean pod filter

as well as the usual oil + oil filter that i do every 5000k, this time i'm gonna buy the oil myself and just get the mechanic to put it in Motul 300V chrono

Does it matter wich kind of oil filter + water pump i need?, if so please let me know which kind i would be better of using

iv had no problems with the car at all so far. Is there anything that is really important that i have missed?

I haven't had the shocks replaced/looked at so maybe that something i need to do also?

thanks

I just bought some Shell Helix Ultra engine oil (50 bucks for 5 L) and genuine Nissan oil filter $9.50 from Nissan.

Hope that helps.

most people do the water pump & seals at the same time as they do the timing belt.

you can use oem nissan items, though if the water pump isn't weeping, and you're not leaking any oil out of the seals you can leave them as-is.

i'd also check/replace spark plugs, and perhaps fuel filter.

^^ sorry i forgot to mention, i had the fuel filter replaced a few months back and the spark plugs replaced with irridiums just recently when i got my car tuned, i haven't had any leaks at all
