Import or domestic Castrol?

Even with 2 previous flushes, look at all that wear?

Definitely a good reason not to bother with dealer flushes, dealer fluid, or long owners manual recommended intervals.
More frequent drain/refills or flushes are needed. Full flow filter kit should pick off some of the wear and should be considered.

You should get a VOA on Nissan "D". I was under the impression that Zn is non-existant. Makes me wonder what ATF was being used by the dealer. Ph also looks a little high. Did the dealer add an 'protectant' after the flush?
 
I used domestic castrol multivehicle with lubeguard red. on the invoice receipt, says 14 qts of nissan matic D was used for the flush, no protectant mentioned.
 
Yup, I'd be dissappointed in this result. 2 flushes and only 13,000 miles on this fluid and still FE is over 40 ... in a Sentra?

Not sure who is to blame here ... the fluid or Nissan's transmission. How are these trannies holding up? Anyone know?
