A few things:
Add a trans cooler, some say it overheats a tad because you're spinning it so much more.
The trans fluid will be black as night no matter your mileage (There is a TV saying it turns black quickly but still does is job.
I'd honestly recommend OEM fluid. You don't know what BS Nissan puts in it to keep it running great.
And take the top filler bolt of first. So just in case it gets stripped or something you'll still have fluid in your transmission.
I'll definitely be using the Nissan recommended CYA stuff. First I'm going to drop & drill the pan & add a temp sensor so I can track how hot things are getting & be able to better estimate how much fluid break down is occurring while being able to see if and how much additional cooling is needed for my application. Then I'll put some of that thermodynamic knowledge to good use & figure out how big of a cooler I really need for my application.
