Darren350 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 So a P2 is just an oil filter, air filter and oil change? If I were to do it myself? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 We also include brake fluid as part of the P2 and P3... Quote
ZGT Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Wondering what service my 370z is coming up to,car is 2010 and just done 16,500 miles is that a p1 or a p2? Quote
Mikey Thompson Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Is it true that the P3 has been abolished? (Due to it being no different to a P2) Quote
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 I have heard people say that. Everything that needed changed or serviced before though will still need doing. A general guide for the areas not covered by P1 and P2 is Spark Plugs should be changed at 5 years or 54,000 miles Front engine belts should be changed at 3 years or 36,000 miles Antifreeze should be changed at 3 years or 36,000 miles Transmission fluid should be changed at 3 years or 36,000 miles VLSD fluid should be changed at 3 years or 36,000 miles 2 Quote
ITFC Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 What is the rough cost on the P1 , P2 and P3 services?? Quote
Brewman Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 My next service will be it's 11th year one, what's the recommendations for the level of service from now on? Quote
CJRamze Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Bit of assistance with this. Documentation is minimal on my Zed however it does have a full book 'o' stamps. Its a 2007 at 50,000 miles The last Four service stamps are 25k "L3" 30k "P1" 37k "P3" 42k "P1" If I was to be playing this safe what Should I be doing in total? It will be serviced by my local mechanic (long time friend) Quote
Watshot Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Depends on the date. If by P3 you mean the plugs and/or other fluids were changed (see post one for clarification on why P3 is meaningless) then if that was longer than 3 years ago for fluids, or 5 years for plugs, then they need changing. If it was more recent, which you would hope, as there has only been one oil change since, then they don't. See post 56 above (or go back to post 1). Minimum requirement is every year or 9000 miles if sooner, which is basically oil and filter change plus checks. Further details in the hand book or post number one. In basic terms, if everything was changed at 37k within the last three years, then you just need an oil and filter change (+ checks). Otherwise, work out what needs changing using the lists above.

Randy_Baton Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) I created a spreadsheet to track service schedule and show how many days are left until your next one. As I dont drive much, it set up to run on years, the distance data is in the top table but it doesn't flow through to the service checker. I put a copy of it on google drive for anyone else to use. I don't normally use google sheets but dont have excel on my home pc. Hopefully this link works! https://docs.google....dit?usp=sharing Obviously take a copy of it if you want to use it for yourself. Looks like I'm overdue an air filter change! Edited October 29, 2016 by Randy_Baton 3 Quote

Looks like I'm overdue an air filter change! Been looking to do something like this for a long time, not just with the Zed. I just never get round to doing it. So thank you very much for sharing this, its a good base to start with and I will now only have to make slight adjustments to suit Quote
Paulzx Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Hello Chaps, I've been looking through this thread to get an idea of how important it is considered, for the frequency and mileage of the servicing. I've had my GT4 serviced every year at the Nissan dealer but on several occasions, it has done less than 1000 miles between services. As of now, it's due it's next service and it's 1000 miles since last year's one. Bearing in mind it will only do another 1000 miles until next year's service would be due, do you all think it's acceptable to skip a year and do the next service next year? I'm interested to know what others in a similar situation are doing because until now, I've been a bit of a stickler for getting the stamp in the book done on time every year...mostly to avoid questions when I sell the car. It's a bit ridiculous though really because the car does so low mileage, it seems a waste of money to do it every year. Using the dealer isn't my issue, 1000 miles between services is the real issue, whoever does the work. What do you guys think? Quote
Strudul Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) There is a reason why frequency of services are suggested based off mileage and time. Think of the time being the minimum required service intervals. So every year you should service the car, regardless of mileage. If you do <9k miles then this remains unchanged, but over that you have to do extra. Not the other way round. Can you get away with servicing less frequently if your mileage is very low - yes, Should you - no. However, with a bit of common sense, you can decide what can be let slip. E.g. An air filter won't really degrade if you aren't driving the car, but oil will, regardless of mileage. Edited February 13, 2017 by Strudul Quote
Paulzx Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Okay, thanks for the comment. It's a yes then really because it will go to the dealer and they will want to do the whole checklist but that's fine Quote
