I recently bought Denso First Time Fit air filters for my Infiniti Q50 3.7 and I was impressed with their quality and finish. They have a high-quality polyurethane gasket to help seal the air box and the filter media appeared to be of good quality. They also have a stainless steel mesh screen...

Ok I had them installed today, and my initial impression is quite good overall. The pads are silent and smooth, and they have a strong bite to them. In fact, they don't feel much different than the previous OEM pads (which I believe are made by Advics). Of course the true test will be how they...

I just got the 085 series pads in the mail. They say Beck Arnley on the shims, but the numbers on the side of the pads are: BA CER FF 011418 B 18 Now I know that obviously the BA would stand for Beck Arnley, the CER is for ceramic, and the FF is the friction rating. So I would assume the rest...

Thanks for the replies and feedback. I decided to order the Beck Arnley 085 Series "TRUE Friction" brake pads. Although I wasn't able to find out who actually makes them I was able to find enough general info on them to determine that they're most likely good quality pads, so I will give them...

Thanks for the info guys. Btw, after searching on the full version of the Beck Arnley website, I was able to figure out that the 085 series are also being called "TRUE Friction" series. I was able to find some basic info on them here...

Hi, I have a 2014 Infiniti Q50 3.7 AWD Premium and I need to replace my rear brake pads. I was looking on Amazon and I came across Beck Arnley 085 Series ASM (Application Specific Material) Ceramic Brake Pads for my car at an affordable price. Now I do know that Beck Arnley makes a multitude of...

Thanks for the feedback. When I read the manual regarding the ATF I felt the same as you, even though it did initially concern me I still felt that they were using scare tactics to dissuade customers from using anything other than Nissan Matic S. Of course they have a vested interest in making...

Have there been any known issues with the 7AT's that used the Amsoil ATF?

I have a 2014 Infiniti Q50 3.7 and I was looking to change the ATF which the factory fill is Nissan Matic S. I know that Redline D6 ATF is suppose to be a great ATF and it supposedly meets the specs to replace Matic S, but before I went with it I wanted to see if anyone has had experience in...

I would definitely recommend either Redline 5W-30 or 5W-40. In my Infiniti Q50 3.7 I was previously using Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5W-30 and the engine seemed to be getting somewhat noisier and less-refined as time went on. As soon as I switched to Redline 5W-30 the motor was noticeably...

I started using the Liqui Moly with the Redline 5W-30 before I discovered this forum and found out that Redline 5W-30 already has a good amount of moly in it, and I continued using it when I switched to their 5W-40 after I discovered their 5W-40 has barely any moly in it so I could continue to...

Hi all, I have a 2014 Infiniti Q50 AWD 3.7 with the VQ37VHR motor and with 70k miles on it. I do about 65% highway and 35% city, I drive somewhat aggressively but usually not too crazy. I do all the required maintenance including 5k mile oil & filter changes. Up until very recently I've been...
