Hi all,
A friend of mine has a 2017 Maxima that just rolled 50k. He asked about doing a fluid change at the dealer while getting an oil change done and they refused. Told him the usual "life time fluid" doesn't ever need to be changed crap that everyone has heard before. He said the manual states 60k changes. They wanted no part of it.
He called me to ask what I thought and I told him if it were my car I'd change it. He puts a lot of miles on vehicles very quickly and clean fluid certainly won't hurt.
He asked if it's something he can do in his driveway. I found videos where people have made their own dipsticks, or just simply measured out what came out and that's what you put back in.
I was thinking if we jacked the car up evenly. Let it cool overnight and drained the oil cold, measured it, and put the oil fact same amount back in, assuming there are no leaks wouldn't the oil level be correct?
Or am I asking for trouble doing it like this?
