Automatic Transmission Fluid Service Question

fayez911 · 06-25-2014, 03:09 AM

Hello everyone,
I just read the 370Z maintenance guide, it says that "Automatic transmission fluid for 370Z and NV 1500/2500/3500 is maintenance-free."

Does that mean I will never change the auto transmission fluid at all? unless there is a leak or something?

Pretty much. Change it at 100-120k miles

Depends. If you drive easy in cool weather, 100k miles is not unreasonable (much longer than I would go but still reasonable). If you drive hard and/or in hot weather, I'd change more often. I had all my fluids (transmission, coolant, brakes, &c) changed at ~23k/3.5 years but I tend to go overboard.
