A/T FLUID
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
A/T FLUIDPFP:KLE40
Changing A/T FluidACS0079Z
1. Warm up ATF.
2. Stop engine.
3. Loosen the level gauge bolt.
4. Drain ATF from drain plug and refill with new ATF. Always refill
same volume with drained fluid.
To replace the ATF, pour in new fluid at the charging pipe with
the engine idling and at the same time drain the old fluid from
the radiator cooler hose return side.
When the color of the fluid coming out is about the same as
the color of the new fluid, the replacement is complete. The
amount of new transmission fluid to use should be 30 to 50%
increase of the stipulated amount.
CAUTION:
Use only Genuine Nissan Matic J ATF. Do not mix with other fluid.
Using automatic transmission fluid other than Genuine Nissan Matic J ATF will cause deteriora-
tion in drive ability and automatic transmission durability, and may damage the automatic trans-
mission, which is not covered by the warranty.
When filling ATF, take care not to splash heat generating parts such as exhaust with ATF.
Do not reuse drain plug gasket.
5. Run engine at idle speed for 5 minutes.
6. Check fluid level and condition. Refer to AT- 1 2 , "
Checking A/T Fluid" . If fluid is still dirty, repeat step 2
through 5.
7. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge in the A/T fluid charging pipe.
8. Tighten the level gauge bolt.
Checking A/T FluidACS007A0
1. Warm up engine.
2. Check for fluid leakage.
3. Loosen the level gauge bolt.
4. Before driving, fluid level can be checked at fluid temperatures
of 30 to 50°C (86 to 122°F) using “COLD” range on A/T fluid
level gauge as follows.
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and move selector lever through each gear posi-
tion. Leave selector lever in “P” position.
c. Check fluid level with engine idling.
d. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and wipe clean with lint-free
paper.
CAUTION:
When wiping away the A/T fluid level gauge, always use
lint-free paper, not a cloth one.A/T fluid: Genuine Nissan Matic J ATF
Fluid capacity: 10.3 (10-7/8 US qt, 9-1/8 lmp qt)
Drain plug:
: 34 N·m (3.5 kg-m, 25 ft-lb)

Shift MechanismACS002LE
The automatic transmission uses compact triple planetary gear systems to improve power-transmission effi-
ciency, simplify construction and reduce weight.
It also employs an optimum shift control and super wide gear ratios. They improve starting performance and
acceleration during medium and high-speed operation.
