Howdy all
Just bought a family ride: 08 Nissan Quest with the venerable VQ 3.5 and 5-sp auto.
It has 35k miles on it, was a rental, and got oil changes every 4-5k.
Oil: from searching the forums, looks like GC 0w30 is a no-brainer. I’ve used this oil in other vehicles and like it a lot.
It is too new to do a Auto-RX treatment on the motor, correct?
Trans: the manual says “Nissan Matic K” and does not even list the volume, instead pointing the hapless owner to the dealer for service.
Any idea what is the fill volume of the trans? I was thinking of dumping in 6oz of Auto-RX, then flush a couple times with either the Amsoil Universal or Redline D4ATF (recommended by Dave at Redline).
I've had excellent experience with Redline fluids in worn or flaky trannies, so am kinda loyal to them...
Thoughts & suggestions? Thanks!!
