Hey Guys
So I picked up a 2001 Nissan Maxima SE 20th Anniversary as my winter beater. Did the winter maintenance on it it yesterday (oil change...the thing has a small oil sump!) and transmission fluid. The tranny fluid was quite dark blackish red. It shifts perfectly fine thoe. So I drained it and filled it with MaxLife® DEX/MERC ATF. Shifts were quick and crisp after this change however I did not change the "filter". I plan on doing another drain and fill when the weather gets better and will be doing the filter change as well.
Is Maxlife ATF good for this Nissan? The owners manual called of Matic D fluid and according to the bottle and Valvoline website its a valid replacement for Nissan Matic-D, Matic-J and Matic-K.
Oh and the car has 194,500KM (~121k miles)
