Re:
Phil,
Are you sure that all the oil has drained from the transfer case as well or does the transfer have it's own separate reservoir?

Re: 100000km Petrol T31 service
Well, here I have to rely on Nissan for accurate info in the Service Manual.
For the cooling system, for example, they tell you that usually just over a litre of coolant will remain in the block and heater core, but to flush it properly, undo one of the heater hoses and undo a bolt on the side of the block near the No1 cylinder, and this will get rid of the lot.
However no such advice for the CVT. The torque converter is the only place I can think of that might retain some fluid...
BUT having said that, the fact that I've been able to put 8 litres back into the CVT, without exceeding the full mark on the dipstick, is an indication that I drained pretty well all of it.
The sad thing is, that it doesn't give me any confidence in these big dealerships workshops! Especially when they charge $120 an hour
PS Just watched a Youtube video on changing the CVT fluid in a Nissan Murano, the CVT oil cooler would explain why I can only fit 8litres back, instead of the 9 litres specified in the Service manual..
Tony, the transfer case is separate and uses normal gear oil!

Re:
Only trouble is mate, if you saw the price first and agreed to pay that for what was stated would happen. Like if you saw that they were only going to replace what they did and for that service agreed to that price, you could be stuck. Even though I fully agree they are robbers charging that for just 1/2 an hour. Ill admit that sometimes I have unthinkingly fallen into that situation too, relying on good faith in the people doing the job and then being grossly disappointed to find out they ripped me off. Id still ask to speak to the manager or principal dealer, head honcho, of the place though and voice my disapproval. If you didn't know the parts that were going to be replaced beforehand and only got hit at the pay time with it id be asking for an hourly rate of the mech's there and wanting a refund accordingly based upon that. Keep cool though no matter how much they insult your intelligence and make you look the dummy, keep cool and composed. Its amazing at times how much effect doing that can have. Even if they get agro, don't fall in to going down to their level. Doesn't mean you have to act dumb or look like a pushover, voice your opinion, show what you know regarding it being wrong, let em know you wont let it go but keep cool.
Good luck mate. Ive been there before and sometimes won too. Best was $2500 I got back when I was ripped of on a tranny by Toyota.

Re:
The Capped Service Price for the 100K service for the T31 Diesel is $579.56, so if they charged you $64 extra for the spark plugs you have no ground to stand on to dispute the $643 charge, as it would have assumed that you have already agreed with the capped service price by taking your car to the dealership for servicing.
