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...
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...

That was what I figured, the extra cushioning between the metal surfaces that the Redline 5W-40 provided over the 5W-30 is at least partly responsible for the reduced NVH I saw in my VQ37.
But...

I own a 2012 Nissan...
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...
