7 Mistakes that do DAMAGE to your CAR 

Transmission Fluid - Change every 30,000 miles Differential Fluid - Change every 30,000 miles If you use synthetic, which I do. Amsoil 75w-90 for my transmission and differential, you can go 60,000 miles before changing. Also, your radiator fluid should be changed about every 30,000 miles.

Car start up and warming up, straight from an engine builder I know, and makes perfect sense. Depending on how cold it is warm ups take longer. In modern cars with fuel injection, no chokes like carbs, crank the car give it 30 seconds to allow oil to get to ALL engine parts. Now drive easy until engine is fully warm. DO NOT rev it hard until fully warm and oil is really flowing. This protects engine internals. NOW do not let it idle for 5 minutes to warm, it warms more evenly with easy driving. Not to mention oil pumps do not put out as much pressure at idle as they do when driving. More pressure allows full flow of oil to all engine parts. This made sense to me, but do as you like. been doing this for years with no issues.

You G is so freakn clean that it hurts 😂👌

idk why people are giving him shit for saying stuff "car people" already know, these video are for people that dont know a whole lot about cars and want to know the steps that it takes to keep your car in tact especially nice expensive cars.

Our dipsticks are the worst 😂😂

Car *always* gives a warning sign, 9 times out of 10!

About 4videos in now, didn’t think I would find so much viewing time looking at problems I haven’t had yet, but it’s his education or better yet usage of common sense that atleast keeps me watching whatever the episode may be about?! Simply put, subscribed!!!

Thanks for explaining the AC controls finally understanding what that button meant after like 2 years of having my coupe i learned a lot from you when I first got my G 💯🙏🏼

Getting a 2005 G35 Infiniti this Friday 6/28/19 this for the tips I knew some but always good to hear them again, like you said good practice.

2.77 for premium?!?! Would kill for that here in California lol where is this.

Bro your advise was GOLDEN. It hits a lot of points drivers overlook (myself included). I've also noticed the quality of your work go up so I hope you do well in the long run. 👍🏼

the automatic in my g35 sedan is really really good. it’s as accurate as my dads 2007 mustang when i shift it’s mint

this is to all cars not just g35

Back to the basics, great video👍🏽

Kermit the frog is a human?

Love how you maintained your infiniti. Keep it going!

Excellent educational video. I will use these tips on my 07 g35 sedan

Great video, I'm glad I'm not the only one out there who does some of these tips daily lol

Agree 100% except partial disagree with car warm up. I just want to add that when you cold start your rpms will be elevated above normal idle rpm. You need to wait till those rpms return to normal idle rpms then you can drive it. May or may not be 30 -60 seconds. The reason you don't do the start and let run for 10 minutes ( like cars do with auto start) is now you have a warmed up engine but with still cold drive train. Like you mentioned and is very very important is to not drive like your racing (aka high room range) till entire engine is at full temp. As your driving down the road. Cold engine is a tight engine.( Metal contracts and expands with heat!) And tight is not good! (At least not on an engine lol). To bad your far from me. Be cool to get a cruise night and hang out.

Bless you sir for the free informational videos, just got my 08 g35 and I want her to go Long into a 37 haha

Hey motordyne what's up, I just want to thank you for the tip in how to reset your g35 throttle body in your other video, it works just fine, Gracias 👍

Good video for beginners. I use to watch my neighbor jump in their car. Start it on a cold day then just smash off...blue exhaust coming out, Rings were probably fried. Poor engine. It’s like a horse you beat it, it won’t last.

Just bought a G35 today. I was researching the car and your videos really helped me with the decision. I'm so excited to get into owning this car! Thanks for the great vids and quality information!

my G35 COUPE has 212000 miles and still runs amazing

Great info 💯👍🏽

Your car is beautiful and it gives me soundgasms

Not only the the compresser but the idler pulley and bearings as well. When you turn the ac on the rpms go up slightly bc the ac puts an increased load on the idler pulley as well

You know, burn outs and high reving....wouldn't be considered proper care -___- just saying....but I do enjoy your videos (information)

Basic stuffs, but most ppl don't know about them. Thanks for upload! BTW premium gas in Seoul (South Korea) is about $4 per gallon... (they sell $1.5 per liter approx.)

thanks for info, man!

Very good video for people that do think about those facts you pointed out.

I just subscribed to your channel because you are right to the point no filler just knowledge. I plan on buying a g series but I’m not sure which one to get I live in Michigan so I’m thinking g37x coupe , what is your opinion of the g37x any information would be appreciated keep up the great work

Great info ur were correct and also very helpful with explaining ur self appreciate it!

Good stuff -- Thanks so much!!

Prevent underbody, upper control arms, bushings, suspension, and exhaust damage by not gaystancing your car

Excellent tips....I love the sound of your G too! How did you get it to sound like that? I have a 2012 G37xS Coupe. I have the R2C intakes and stock exhaust. Also reprogrammed ECU with UPREV Osiris. The car performs much better with the tune BTW. Also I also let it idle. The Aircon tip is good but also make sure that you check you in-cabin air filter too. I use Shell V-Power w/Nitro. Best gas out there. If you're in Canada be aware that Petro-Canada has a 94 octane that contains Ethanol. Ethanol is not a good chemical for our cars because it causes carbon deposits and gumming up of the valves and injectors. The cheaper gases also contain Ethanol...and that's why lawnmower engine carbs are always failing.

Great vid!

Great video for a first time driver.

Appreciate the small tips it does do wonders peace ✌

Nice info✔️

I really have to say it seems like everyone in the comments is a car expert and wants to argue with your logic that makes complete sense and is backed up by evidence. You are spot on and take really good care of your vehicle and it shows. You have a good bit of miles on it and it still puts out great power and hasn't had many problems throughout its life. So obviously You are doing something right. While most of this stuff i already knew, I appreciate the info that was more specific to the g35 as i intend to upgrade to one when i get the funds for it.

There's this guy at my work that immediately leaves after turning on his 07 350z. I don't talk to him but I'm wanting to tell him that he should let it warm up

Your ride is impeccably clean.....👍

Well my car is over 17 years old and I always take in air from the outside with the AC on and never had any AC issues!

Very good advice thx.

Excellent Information 🌟

My car makes so many different noises I just don’t even know what to do

Love the videos man. I actually just replaced my window motor tonight after watching your video on how to, although I made a bonehead mistake and didn't bolt the rails back on before I tested it... big ole pain in the ass that was. I did have a question though, when I turn off my car, I hear a rattle coming from underneath the car around the clutch/gearbox maybe, and only after its gotten warm. It's been like that since I bought it a year ago.

I agree with every tip you said but not the last one about type of gas, so I love my cars and I own few of them currently always put regular gas in it my 05 g35x has almost 200k and my 03 coupe has 217k no issues whatsoever. I also own a lexus LS400 if I don't fill it with premium it'll run like crap but not the g35 it doesn't fell or effect anything not even performance.

well done. nice ride

Great vid

I’ve got a 2006 sport coupe, & I love it! I had 2 BMW 635 csi’s, they were nice as long as they DIDNT NEED SOME TYPE OF WORK DONE which became constant. They were a money pit! The G35 is a Nissan so it’s much more reliable. It’s fast, powerful, looks great, (mines white) just do reg maintenance & no probs! I DO wonder where they got the idea of having a sideways oil dipstick, it kinda sucks & is hard to see oil on it & a bit difficult to reinsert into the tiny hole, but the car is still great!

what radio is that you installed ? great vid man!!!!

If you fill up on half a tank that is good but if you always do that crud gets to the bottom of your tank and if you do go down to E then all that crud gets in so i always fill it up at a quarter tank so it burns some of that crud away so it doesn't build up.

What touch screen radio is that and where you get it? Looks dope bro

Great tips. Which Meguiar’s Detailer do you prefer?

I've got the Q50 S... Nice video ✌️

Thanks for the info. My g35 has 127xxx miles. What brand , viscosity should i use?

You don't have to warm your oil up to over 100 degrees to preserve your engine. Modern oil warms to 50 - 70 dregees is more than sufficient enough to drive around normally. BUT don't high rev it.

Vehicle AC compressors are NOT variable load. They are singular on or off compressors. They are either engaged or not engaged. The recirc and exterior air options simply change the source path. It does not change the load on the system. The hardest thing on a system is a system that is never run.

My AC compressor is going bad and I always had it on that first button I'm going to replace the compressor and growing to use that rule of thumb now, liked this video subscribed today #VQ35 06 G35

Hi Motordyne G35, Does the air recirculate method apply to cold weather as well? Will leaving it on outside air affect the heater core, or is it negligible in winter since the compressor is almost never on?

Thanks to you iam taking much better care of my 350Z.

6 year old video and all these information is still accurate. Not just for a G35, but for all cars.

I have a '99 lexus that burns and leaks no oil whatsoever lol Also, I assume it's more beneficial to prime the pump before you start it than run it above half a tank all the time because it's not like the pump is gonna be run dry on a quarter tank.

i always fill up at halfway 😂 i get paranoid if it goes below half

Also when you go to start your car you should let the fuel pump charge before starting it only takes a second but is worth the time.

Bro your paint is in perfect condition

I'm living in New Zealand - I was surprised to learn that 91 octane is considered premium in North America. Our regular gasoline starts at 91 and premium is available as 95 and 98 octane. I run my Infiniti M35 on 98 and there is a huge difference in performance and economy when compared to running it on 91

Make a video on maintenance on a used car and what internals to replace

Yo nice paint! Couldn't see a scratch/swil marks on it!

I don't think you understand how AC works

my friend, i installed cai in my lexus and the aluminum tube got much hotter than the oem plastic tube, does that mean the air drawn to the engine is hotter with that metal tube? have you ever used k&n CAi? should i just use the oem plastic tube instead? thanks

thank you

I never use AC in my Z. I set the temperature all the way up and use the outside air. Of course I don't have the heat on during hot summer days but the car tends to blow some air in automatically so I'd assume it would put the least amount of strain on the engine and maybe help it cool better?

Is your radiator fan loud? Mine is always running loud on my 05 g35x sedan If not what fan do you have installed?

About the climate controls, I live in Soflo I've got an '08 w auto-climate control and i usually leave it at 76 and don't have to touch it at all. Is this good practice?

Hey man got a question for you. I have a 04 g35 6MT with 125k miles on it. Havent been driving it as of late due to poor steering. When I make turns or turn the wheel at approx 1-2 oclock and 10-11 oclock, it is super stiff and feels like it is binding up. Any ideas? I've heard rack and pinnion or something power steering related. My fluid looks clean for the power steering but who knows it might need to be flushed. Or maybe my pump is bad? additionally, my back left wheel is cambered out, and the suspension is stock. I want to upgrade my suspension to something that gives a really nice firm ride, but super comfortable to bumps, etc. Any suggestions on a full kit (shocks, coils, control arms, etc.)?? Thanks in advance I know i asked alot but i would appreciate it!

Had an 03 Altima v6 3.5 L and a lot of the parts fit on the G35 I loved my Nissan while it lasted but man those cars are a pain in the ass to work on everything is crammed up in the engine no space to work on anything. you have to take part after part just to get to the one thing you want to get to, ever since that I never bought a car that's very difficult to work on..

i own the 06 model. Tbh, all you need to do is for the first ten minutes of driving, calm yourself and don't overrev it. that gives the engine pleeeenty of time to come up to temp, and then you can do whatever the heck you like. you dont need to rest the engine after startup like this. just drive calmy for a wee while and your engine can do the rest once it hits operating temp. if you are that impatient to thrash it then you shouldnt own such a nice car :D

What mods do you have ? What exhaust is it ? Do you have your flex pipes and resonators ?

In my 350Z owners manual it says the opposite of warming up the car. It states that you should start moving as soon as you start the car and Ive heard several times that if you do warm up the car as the mixture is rich on a cold start you will get unburnt fuel passing down the pistons to your oil and ruining it.

When you use the auto Econ a/c it automatically sets to use outside air so what is your input on that. Why would the Econ a/c mode hurt your car in the long run

I live 2 miles from work. I live at an apartment complex and my g is very loud (art pipes, tomeo y pipe, ap single exit) so i start my car and instantly drive it outside the complex then let it warm up. Is this bad? I hate bothering neighbors so i move instantly

i know is out of topic... do you think the Motordyne intake manifold for my ( G37 ) is worth it ? i have stillen gen 3 intakes stillen cat back Berk HFC's and tune with ECUTek

Please answer It happened once, I started my car in the morning and within seconds I took it to 3000 rpm for 3 minutes constant. And I love my car more than I love myself .. so I am too afraid what loss I might have made. Please tell, as I have done only once ...have I made my car too much sad... and if yes...what should I do to make it happy.

a/c compressors are stupidly expensive. i refused to get it fixed. windows down. idc im happy baking in the california heat, burn treatment is cheaper. also great video. this is basically like a universal type of thing to extend the life of most early modern era cars.

One thing I do not totally agree with is that you need to warm up your G35. I have a 2006 MT Coupe and have over 180K miles. Newer cars (since the late 1990s), the car will warm up within 1 minute so a warm-up is not really needed. Also if you use full synthetic oil, you can just go as it is much thinner than the standard oil purchased in a new one. Otherwise good video for new owners of G35s.

My G has a faint rattling sounds when I step on the gas. Almost like beans rattling inside a can. Can't find or tell where is coming from. It's driving me crazy!!

This guy taught me how to drive from this video

Hey tie what app or software do u use to edit your videos

funny, i have the same problem you have on your Dash. from 40km-120km its light less lite up only in that spot!! weirdddd - 07 revup coupe

Yo u know I been saying the same thing about the fuel ⛽️ pump .. too

i run 94 octane all day but i'll fill it up more thanks!

My 04 g35 sedan has 297xxx miles on of and still runs really good

I definitely had to pay so much money for a new fuel pump. I destroyed mine, but it was by accident. My gauge was broken and after it would get to half then it wouldn't move any more. So...I ran out of gas...twice...I am now traumatized. lol

Are you seeing any signs of clear coat failure? My 04's paint is going to shit and it's making me really mad

I Love this channel especially because i buy Infiniti & Nissan products a lot

i miss that gas price. 2.77 for premium. jeez man today it was 4.50

Definitely use a spray detailer rather than just dry wipe (and microfiber cloths don't protect you if you do that like some people think). You can make your own quick detailer cheap with a gallon of distilled water, a spray bottle and your choice of many other products. This is a good video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hEairmtcWL0.html Also for most people that wash their own cars, buying bulk product online is the way to go if you have the room.
