Everyone Said Maintaining A Nissan GT-R Is EXPENSIVE...

- More miles on my Daily Driven GT-R.... Time for a service!! $$$
In todays video my 2014 Nissan GT-R gets a full transmission service and front/rear differential servicing. The guys at SOHO Motorsports show us how to change the oil in the GT-R transmission, and then how to change the gear oil in the differentials.
This was much needed maintenance for my car! Nissan recommends at 35k miles to have these services done, so I figured since I'm close, I'll have it done!
While it is a pretty expensive oil change since the Motul oil alone costs over $300, it's ever 35k miles. So I won't have to do this for many many years.
Nissan brand oil is apparently around $80 per quart while Motul brand is $20-$30 per quart. And Motul makes Nissan's oil!!
Overall using a lift and having a pump this GT-R servicing wasn't too bad of a job. And I'm glad my car is one step closer to being in tip top shape!
You can definitely DIY the transmission flush and diff flushes, but having a lift is so much more convenient and it so I could really show the process.

Holy crap, that looks like the big power 370 I walked on 485 in "Mexico" a year or so back. Good videos man! Keith the fabricator over at SOHO is the man!
Interesting process to change the oil. Those look like huge syringes. And blue oil! I learned a lot. Now she’s ready to go. Thanks Brian for the interesting video.
Glad you liked the video!
Awesome video man working and trying to save for me a gtr soon I appreciate all the videos you make it's kinda hard to find just common videos about daily driving these cars most videos are either spitting flames or 3000 horse power lol which is great to
Cameron Norman Haha yeah. It’s a super fun daily! Keep working towards it and you’ll do it in no time!
I love GTR’s they are my dream car and im so close to getting one but this wrap just doesnt do it for me👎🏼 it looks bad
Agreed but I've seen worse. Many channel owners do it not for improved appearances but for the attention and recognition it will generate to their channel. The old saying in journalism, 'no such thing as bad publicity' applies to YT as well.
@@jamesaron1967 i hear ya. Definitely make a good point👌🏼
I think it looks badass but camo wrap is not for everyone.
Always watch ur gtr videos ur my motivation to get one some day in the future
Awesome man, keep working at it!
Do it bro!
I was going to use my race ramps to change my diff fluid, then decided yaa lets goto a shop. Glad I it did went fast
Yea I would have liked to try it at home, but some things are just not worth it lol
@@BrosFOURRSpeed that could just mean it's time to go Purchase a quick Jack. Or one of those home garage lifts! I just might!
My 2016 BE has 10,500 miles and I’ll be doing this same service after Sep 8th track day. So far, this year the car , Kaizer747, has gone to 3 track in Puerto Rico’s heat. So far so good. For fluid I’ll using Amsoil for the tranny and oem on the diffs.
I’ve been watching your videos they are awesome
I bought a Gtr same year and color as yours
Awesome car to drive
Thanks! Yeah its an epic car! Still have this and it makes 700hp now. Such a blast!
I do oil changes, that's it so far. I'm due for this service and will be taking it to a pro.
Yeah this was a bit too much to do at home on jack stands. But wont need it again till I'm at 75,000. Overall the GTR is nothing to maintain
Nice man, make sure you do a transmission relearn, and make sure all the points are at 0 before you do it, it makes the car drive like butter right after, I did this at home, it was a pain because I didn't have that fancy drill pump, I bought a $15 hand pump which took a long ass time to pump in like 8 or 9 of those quarts while laying on my back lol
I drove the car home before doing the clutch relearn. But the car drove super smooth and shifts seem much quicker than before. I did the relearn last night with my Cobb. What's the exact reason for doing that?
You changed the oil in the gearbox. But you didn't change the transmission filter and the pan filter and didn't check the magnets, gear selector pistons etc? You are brave guys. :) Interesting. Good luck.
Those aren't needed till about 70k miles. So the second transmission change is when you'd do that
Prices have gone up since 2019. Here's what you will spend today for a complete transmission and differential service and this is if you do it yourself. Sump filter, line filter, pan gasket and 20 new pan bolts all bought from Jack's Transmissions - $293.21, Motul Competition Gear Oil, (2-2packs) - $84.28. Motul High-Torque DCTF, (3-4packs) - $224.97. For a grand total of $602.46. Not cheap but I hate to think what a dealer would charge and maybe I missed it but I never heard what Mr. Bro was charged by that shop to do this job.
Hey man, I know I commented before about coming to Charlotte for an event. When's the next one you'll be attending. I'd love to get some content down there with ya!
Dope content homie, what gear are you suing to vlog?
Thansk! M50 and Hero 10 as of now. May of had our cameras in this video
amzn.to/412IDkF
amzn.to/3ANyVb5
Great info, did they say anything about the trans filters? Or is that not required to change
I think thats good till like 70k or so. So every other service
How about the labor cost??? Would be nice to share.
Great video!!! I love your car!!! I Want a Mercedes eqc or jaguar I pace or Tesla for my first car! I love Electric cars!
I owned a GTR in Japan a real GTR you know one with the straight six engine. Had it for 6 and 1/2 years maintenance was like 200 bucks
Oh thats awesome! We still can't import the R34 yet. Few more years!
Great vid! About to do this myself. Where can I get that drill/suction tool used to fill the trans fluid?
Nice! I'm sure on Amazon you can find one
So how many quarts does the GTR take on on each differential & transmission🙏🏻?
Very nice car..
Did I miss the total cost including labor?
Trust me just get to the fuckn point
he didnt even fucking say
Bro did u wrap ya GTR IN THUS LOOK I MUST HAVE MISSED YA VLOG ON THIS
haha yup!ruclips.net/video/Dnadtmylx44/видео.html
Not at all that expensive in my experience tho! It only cost me $400 for the oil change, front and rear diff, and transmission fluid change full service. I take it to my friend who is a GT-R tech and Wala I got the hook up! I’ve use Motul for the tranny, Amsoil for the gearoil and Mobil1 for engine oil products only. If you’re paying more than that then you are getting Kip my friend. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
400 for labor?
Sir Daytona392 Probably because at 400 for everything that guy won’t be in business long.
I'm thinking about doing it my self
informative video! thanks!
Glad you like it!
What about a transmission filter bro?
Was curious did they change out the filter inside the drain pan or not? I know at my friends shop they always replace the internal filter during every oil change.
We did not. At the current mileage it really wasn't necessary. Next change, I will
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Ohh okay wasn't sure if it was just his preference or what.
Hello, can you tell me wich oil did you use on both differencial and oil of gearbox? Thanks best regards
All Motul brand. I show the bottles in the vid. Gear oil for the diffs and DCT oil for the trans
Any reason why you didn't change the filters in the trans?? My car has similar mileage and 2014 and I'm doing dif and trans oil but filters as well . ( This would be the third time I do the dif and trans oil change since brand new)
From what I've seen and the shops recommendation. the oil needs to be changed every 35k miles. The filter can go about twice that.
What is the liquid he was spraying onto the plugs after every re-assembly of components? Is it just plain water or some sort of oil?
A spray to clean off any oil residue from things draining. I think brake cleaner
It’s an easy diy. Lift def makes it easier to do.
Yeah it’s very straight forward. More room to work with the lift and it’s very basic
just paid $135 for motul DCTF for 8qrts ;) from Amazon - not doing the trans filter. - as my trans has only 23k on it... :) can't wait to change it and see if there's any difference. as the car sits a lot and I think it's good to refresh it, been 3 years+ __ I got quickjack, so yeah I allready did the trans and front diff, last year. - dealer would charge $1750. for all trans/front/rear diff.
Oh cool. Yeah sounds like a good time to do it!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yep, I put about 6 to 7k miles per year. 82k miles on my CBA, I've been thinking about EBA, But I'm also bending my eye around RS6 Avant.
Nice! Thats some good miles!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed after I changed the oil, man, the trans runs so freaking smooth! I run stage 1 trans and I can't even hear trans shifting from 2nd to first while pulling to a stop. plus shifts are smooth! I guess it's good to change it every 20k or so.
did you replace the transmission oil pan or just drain the oil completely through the drain plug?
Just drained it. Why would I replace the oil pan? If it was damaged you'd replace it. But it just needs to be drained like any normal fluid change
That drill oil pump attachment, I see it for sale n o w h e r e.
So where did they get it?
Not exactly sure which one they used. But here is a good one! amzn.to/32xjHWF
I've done it at home. You're not supposed to let the wheels spin freely like that. I hope they also performed a clutch relearn. If they didn't, you should do it yourself with your Cobb if you have TCM software with it.
stopherrr I did the TCM relearn. What’s the exact reason for doing that? After the oil change, the car seems to shift smoother and quicker. That was even before I did the relearn.
What was labor cost? Or at least how many hours were billed?
Depending on the shop, budget $150-$300
Is it worthwhile changing the transmission filter while your there?
Apparently it's not needed till like 70k or so. So the second trans flush would be recommended
Nices car
Thanks! Love the GTR. Been a fun car!
Expensive is relative. Own a Sentra if you think those costs were expensive. My Audi SQ5 is more expensive to maintain so far. Beautiful car that GT-R.
Yeah it's all relative. However lots of people thought maintaining an R35 would be like wayyy more then a typical car. After 5.5 years of owning this car and 50k miles. It was never anything to think about. I didi oil changes myself for about $50. And this one the most expensive service around $400. This was a once every 35k service tho. So nice to see how cheap this car was to own. Even appreciated in value lol
Can’t wait to buy a GTR 😎
Keep working towards it!!
Yeh bro 😎
Motul is supposed to be good. I only use genuine Honda transmission fluid at $10 per quart for my Honda. Wise investment.
amill1563 Motul apparently makes the oil for Nissan. So Nissan just sticks their label on the bottles and triples the price lol
@@BrosFOURRSpeed good to know
Come on bro. If you did that intercooler you can do this. I did this service at home.
He most likely got it done for free in exchange advertising the company on his channel.
Yeah and it would take you all day or two days
hey guys is it a bad idea to buy a high mileage gtr? 2013 and up of course..
As long as maintenance is done I don't see why not.
Erek K Most of them are modded and beat to shit. Also probably need new clutches which is not cheap. If you can’t afford one don’t buy one.
2014+ is better due to 13 and below have transmission issues
What’s the name of the app you used?
That's the Armytrix app. Connects to the module the exhaust comes with. So I can control the valves on my phone or the remote the kit comes in
Nice congrats on the new BMW you ordered
My deam car was always an M3 e46 and i have 4, then i have a e60 M5 and i wanted to have a F80 M3 thats Before i drove a GTR :))))))))))))))
Just had my first expensive maintenance on my GTR. GTR SHEP TRANS 1.5, labor and everything almost 12k
Dang! Was that because you had an issue? Or just building it up?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Solenoid sensor B went bad in my GTR, i lost access to 2,4,6 gear. I am currently FBO and at 52k miles. I've only been FBO for 1k miles
@@LBCCGtrSammy Oh wow! Definitely a bummer!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed are you on upgraded trans yet? Or what have you done to the car?
@@LBCCGtrSammy My car is full bolt ons and stage 3 tuning. Bigger fuel pumps, 1050cc injectors and flex fuel kit. I have a tune on the transmission and adjusted the clutch capacitors to +4 to avoid slipping. Been like this for over a year. Runs solid 👌🏼
Let about half of a quart drain out of the diff, and that is about it lol!! that stuff must be cheap!
I do the maintenance myself now. Way cheaper.
I took mine to SP engineering
@@Thedude175 sp is strict, but very good. The won't work on your car unless you had all your previous work done at their shop.
How often you do this
Every 35k miles. Like I said in the video
I saw a black Nissan GTR yesterday
Oaklomon99 YT that’s awesome man!
Soo how much it costs for all of the changes?
About $400. Depends on what a shop charges you or if you do it yourself
Try this: Daily driving 42 miles 1 way to work...lol
Try this.... 75 miles each way. Everyday. Monday through Friday. My Prius just hit 206k miles.
I've got a 38 mile drive each way in my daily driven '91 Skyline. The ol' girl has 313k km on it now.
@@loomi58 I drive it, I can't understand people that let them sit in the garage and drive it for 30 mins once a year lol Thats like saving your girlfriend for the next guy lol
I drive 3 miles to get to my oilfield job😂😂
DualSpoolRDU obviously you don’t know much about gtrs. They are not daily drivers. If you can’t afford 2 cars then you can’t afford a gtr. Gtrs are horrible daily’s. Once a week is plenty enough for me.
Gtr maintenances compare to a Audi R8 👀, which worst ?
They are really about the same, normal oil changes and the maintenance like this. You can do the oil change on the GTR though much easier than on the R8 unless you have a lift.
I hear maintenance on transmission is extremely pricy. And you have to replace it some time.
Was that total of about $315? That's not bad to be honest. I thought it would of been A LOT more. Great video keep up the work.
raul garcia Yeah for what it was, not to bad. I’ve just never had to spend $300 for oil before lol
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Lol yea I'm not looking forward to doing that on my 2017
150$ to 200$ for oil change at a shop
What was the total cost for maintenance that day????
I think around $400. Super easy car to maintain and this is a service only every 35k anyways
@@BrosFOURRSpeed thanks for quick reply’s to me bro! You are a real help for Me in my decision to buy a gtr or not!’ Il keep piling the q n A’s for a while lol
GTR is seriously the best car ever. I love owning this and will have it for a long time!
What type of oil is that?
As shown in the video. Motul
@@BrosFOURRSpeed thanks, my wife does say I'm not the fastest turtle of the bunch. 😂 😳😕
How much was the wrap
I did this in my garage for about $350. ruclips.net/video/Dnadtmylx44/видео.html
What GTR??!!..... Oh there it is, it was camouflaged, hard to see. Lol jk. Sweet ride
lol, I loose the car in parking lots all the time haha
So what was the final price?
You're looking in the $300 range for a job like this
@@BrosFOURRSpeed That's actually not as bad as I was thinking it would be.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed 300$ in labor? So only like 2.5 hours of labor?
Wouldn’t that service be covered under the warranty at the dealer so you wouldn’t have to pay out of pocket?
Maintenance isn't included under the warranty.
Warranty doesn't cover maintenance on cars. If my clutch exploded for no reason and the car was under warranty. That would be covered
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Okay gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up!
@@bassfan71 No problem! GTR has been a super good car to own and not really that expensive
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I watched your maintenance videos on it. The maintenance cost isn't that bad from the looks of it if you do it yourself. Great car overall!
i want to do it, nissan told me 790 if i supply all oil.. wtf.
Wow that is such a rip off!! So they are basically over $1,000 for this?? Any good performance shop will have you out under $400. That's why I don't take things to the dealer lol
I don't understand why stealerships, I mean dealerships do that?? If a vehicle isn't any more involved in labor or material cost WTF do they hike job rates so much for high end models? Can't imagine what it costs to service an exotic...
Can you do this on an awd lexus is250 ?
Of course. The AWD Lexus will have a front a rear diff as well
Bros FOURR Speed thank you, keep up your great videos ! I’m hoping to get a GTR soon!! Much love from Long Island NY 🗽
@@EastCoastMafia_NY Nice man! Thanks for the support! Keep working towards it!
How often is the trans fluid change ? And differential
Roughly every 35k miles. So I doubt I'll even own the car when it's due again
@@BrosFOURRSpeed is it wise to get rife of the gtr after a while like you did for me hanical reasons or you just wanted a new one?
@@ScolarshipBoy1984 could you reword that? Not sure what you’re saying 😅
@@BrosFOURRSpeed oh my sorry .I will.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I meant to write is it wise to get rid of the GTR after how many miles on it because larger issues may arise or you got a new car because you wanted a different car?
I do it all at Nissan to keep the car value...call me silly but I prefer
That actually doesnt do anything for you ;)
I worked in the industry for a few years. Even a car like this, as long as it shows some maintenance, it'll retain value. Current condition is what sells cars. Rare Ferrari's and Lamborghinis or a Bugatti will need spot on maintenance recorded. But not normal cars. But a performance shop doing this will be on the carfax, and most people know that half the time dealerships don't even do good work. Shops like this are better to have on the carfax.
How much did you pay total for diff and trans fluid change?
$290 Dollars you Deaf?
Nissan expects you to be a wealthy person that's why the maintenance is so high. I wonder if a Vette cost the same to service?

@@BrosFOURRSpeed thanks
Though, shit, oil filter is ALL the way down there? Not a fun 5k change.....
I do my oil change every 1500 miles on my GTR
How much do you track the car?? That's pretty soon on the interval to be honest, but if that's what you like, great!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed only get to drive it on the weekends and when I do I drive it aggressively. I work at Nissan so I have access to a lift, just need oil. I noticed the oil gets really dark and burned when I do drive it like that so I decided to change it every 1500 which could be months considering I don’t put much miles on it.
Oh gotcha. It does turn dark very quick which is weird. But i drive about 5k a year. So I do it annually. Just changed my engine oil last week and I only drove it 3.5k in the last year. Whatever works for you!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed by any chance do you know if the GTR goes into limp mode if you replace the exhaust on it? I have a 2019
I have a full exhaust with injectors and fuel pump now. I've always updated the tune as I've added parts. If you take all the cats off you'll get a CEL. But a tune will solve the list and make it run correctly. Maybe if you rip on it catless and no tune. It could make the turbos overboots and go into limp mode. So just don't mess with the downpipes unless you are tuning it
No valvebody cleaning, no filters? Oilchange without doing this is pretty pointless.....
What oil for the GTR?
Motul brand in the OEM weights. Pretty sure I showed all that in the video
Sorry I meant for for the engine. Lol
How come they didnt change the filter?
@@tle1015 I've used Mobil one when changing the engine oil. Takes me like 30 mins to do. I don't think the trans filter needs it till the second one
How come you don't run motul 300v?
so now that it's serviced, are you gonna dyno it and take it to the airstrip? 😏
Kael Ortega Almost! Just need to do an oil change and it’s ready!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yes! 😂👍
@@BrosFOURRSpeed oh I almost forgot to ask you but are you thinking about putting a body kit on the GT-R? 😏
Ok parts $300..soooo what's the labor??🤔🤔🤔..
labor will depend from shop to shop, and if you're only doing the trans or diffs as well. So budget around $200 for labor.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed ok cool thanks bro!
The maintenance is expensive too me.. that’s why I lease my GTR I’m not changing a thing on this car a mess it up. I’m no mechanic
You'll end up paying a lot more by leasing the car then just paying a little for the maintenance.
No sir ! my notes was cheaper by leasing and I had maintenance deals
Spend even $500 once a year, how is that bad? Or 3 years when people don't daily their shit.
We? We? All you did was pay for it lol
Dr Gilfberg I guess paying for something on his car is kind of a large part of the process? Yes?
You’re broke.
Did they replace the 2 filters in the transmission? I found out most nissan dealerships and even GTR certified mechanics dont do services right.. I have to do it myself. Theyre supposed to replace the trans fill bolt and all the washers in the diff and trans bolts (and torque to spec).. I know im being anal but im just saying... for a car like this they should be following the book...BTW theyre not supposed to let the wheels spin according to the nissan instructions I found on the GTR Forum. Telling you mechanics dont pay attention.. kinda makes me upset.
The filters don't need replacing till about 70k. So the second transmission flush is when you would do it. No need to replace bolts and things like that. It's overkill. Had this car for 5.5 years and sold it at 50k miles still running perfect. Never had any leaks and did the normal oil changes myself
@@BrosFOURRSpeed sounds good. Maybe my OCD is kicking in!
How much is insurance? Let's say for a 28 year old clean record.
Don't bother I had 2 evo 1 v8 back in my younger days never paid insurance just third party
Why not ask an insurance company? Location changes price a lot. Mine wasn't very expensive.
I pay $1,600 per year. Perfect record for the past 9 years, highest deductible. A lot effects insurance, like zip code, miles driven ect..
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Damn that's good.
John Powers it’s about 30% on where you live. Then the other 70% is ur age and record. Can be 40 clean record and still pay $2k
Actually there is an argument to be made that GT-R maintenance is relatively expensive compared to your run of the mill Nissan. It's certainly not in other super/hyper car territory... can you say McLaren? LOL.
Well that's because it isn't a supercar, it is still just a Nissan.
@@EK-rr2md Performance-wise, she is.
@@billbrowning3021 not by today's standards, besides there is more to a supercar than performance. I owned a 2013 GTR and I definitely do not consider it a supercar. It was fun but nowhere close to supercar levels.
Erek K That’s ur opinion. Experts will disagree with you. And yes a supercar is only based on performance. A mclaren as you mention is an exotic. Different category kid.
looking to buy a used R35, what year has most of the major kinks worked out?
JEEPNATION 2014 is when they updated the trans and suspension. So that is ideal. But I’ve seen many older ones with no issues. 09, 10 are the most prone. But overall you can’t really go wrong
Get a 2013 or newer.

Thanks for your opinion, I had a ton of fun learning how to wrap an entire car in the garage and this was a budget design to come up with. Have you ever wrapped a car?
Horrible wrap..leave the original color
It was fun for the time being. Great to bring out at car shows. PPL loved it in person. Unwrapped it the following Christmas
