From analysis Valvoline MaxLife ATF and Castrol's Transmax Full Synthetic Multi-Vehicle ATF would be suitable for NissanMatic J through S.

Analysis shows that MaxLife ATF has about 200 ppm more phosphorus Anti-Wear chemistry than does Castrol's Transmax Full Synthetic Multi-Vehicle ATF.
 
Seems like MaxLife would be the better choice. Thanks guys for the help I've got one last question.

What would be a good transmission temperature gauge?

I've been looking at these three but don't know how good of quality they are the only difference I see between them extra color options which I don't really care about and one of the Elites go to 300 degrees.

Elite 300 degree:

Has anyone analyzed Castrol's non-fully-synthetic, i.e. Import Multi Vehicle ?

Is more better, or just more ?
 
NIssan transmissions are so easy on fluids its just amazing - when I had a maxima it would take anything with no complaints whatsoever.

Nissan makes great engines and transmissions - except for their coils (they do screw up big time)
 
I've always owned Hondas and Toyotas in the past and pushed them passed 250k no problem. I hope Nissan will do the same I only paid 800 bucks for the truck so I don't expect much but who knows maybe it will suprise me.
