Hi, Im looking for a site or some instructions on how to do a oil change,transmission fluid flush, and coolant flush on my 2010 Maxima. Does anyone have this information? Ive had my car for 4 years and im going to try this for the 1st time. I tried searching this site but I couldnt find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

oil change just remove the oil pan drain plug, drain the oil, tighten plug, remove old oil filter, put on new filter, fill with oil, done

coolant just loosen the drain **** on the radiator, drain out the coolant, tighten the ****, fill with new coolant, run the car with the rad cap off until the air bubbles quit coming out and the thermostat opens

trans being a CVT i would only get it serviced by the dealer, wouldnt want to do it yourself

Thanks Ill do that for the transmission fluid. Is the radiator plug accessible without removing any panels or does a panel have to be removed like the oil filter?

Nevermind I found it.

You can easily do a drain and fill on the CVT.
Just remove the drain bolt and make sure you measure all that comes out. Usually 4.5 quarts.
Then just add in 4.5 quarts of fresh CVT fluid.
Takes about 30 mins not much harder than an oil change.
