My advice, if you know how to drive stick don't get the AT lol. Sorry that was too easy. You can always go to your local Nissan dealer and get it serviced or buy the fluids yourself and do it at home, just get a pump from your local autozone, I've tried to do most of my maintenance at home or with the help of a buddy.

Honestly you probably shouldn't touch it.

In the real world, most likely it's pretty easy to get this close enough with an IR thermometer on the transmission's pan, but I haven't seen anyone with the right equipment or expertise confirm the correlation between pan temps and Consult-III temps, or confirm how precise the fill level really needs to be. GTM mentioned publishing some info about this once, but never heard back on it. For the time being, it's better to have the dealership refill. It's not that expensive anyways. All things considered, I'll be swapping my fluid out every 20-30K miles just as an insurance policy. That's nothing compared to e.g. gas costs over the same timeframe, so it's just smart maintenance policy. |
