A/T FLUID
Changing the A/T Fluid (ATF)
INFOID:0000000004917425
CAUTION:
If using the vehicle for towing, the A/T fl uid must be replaced as specified. Refer to MA-8, "
Introduc-
tion of Periodic Maintenance".
1. Drive the vehicle to warm up the A/T fluid to approximately 80 ° C (176 ° F).
2. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the A/T fluid level gauge.
4. Drain the A/T fluid from the drain plug hole, then install the drain plug with a new gasket. Refill the transmission with new A/T
fluid. Always refill with the same volume as the drained A/T fluid.
Use the A/T fluid level gauge to check the A/T fluid level as
shown. Add A/T fluid as necessary.
• To flush out the old A/T fluid from the transmission oil coolers, pour new A/T fluid into the A/T fluid charg-
ing pipe with the engine idling and at the same time drain the old A/T fluid from the auxiliary transmis-
sion oil cooler hose return line.
• When the color of the A/T fluid coming out of the auxiliary transmission oil cooler hose return line is
about the same as the color of the new A/T fluid, flushing out the old A/T fluid is complete. The amount
of new A/T fluid used for flushing should be 30% to 50% increase of the specified capacity.
CAUTION:
• Use only Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF and do not mix with other fluids.
• Using A/T fluid other than Genuine NISSAN Mati c J ATF will cause deterioration in driveability
and automatic transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is
not covered by the warranty.
• When filling the transmission with A/T fluid, do not spill the A/T fluid on any heat generating parts such as the exhaust manifold.
• Do not reuse the drain plug gasket.
5. Install the A/T fluid level gauge and tighten the A/T fluid level gauge bolt to specification.
6. Drive the vehicle to warm up the A/T fluid to approximately 80 ° C (176 ° F).
7. Check the fluid level and condition. If the A/T fluid is still dirty, repeat steps 2 through 6.
8. Install the A/T fluid level gauge in the A/T fluid charging pipe and install the A/T fluid level gauge bolt.
9. Tighten the A/T fluid level gauge bolt to specification. Drain plug : Refer to
TM-220, "
