quarts of transmission fluid do I need to get for my 92 gxe? I want to change it out and am not sure what kind to get or how much. Any help would be appreciated.

 

well the manual says to drain it out and measure it and put back the same amount.
But im sure one of the vets could tell you more.

 

I heard somewhere that its best to use Nissanmatic Transmission Fluid but from what I have learned, there is a NissanMatic A, B, and C types of fluids. I think my car takes Nissanmatic C but am not sure. I hate the jerks at the dealership so I don't bother with them anymore and I was ecstatic when I found this site and realized the wealth of information found here.

 

nissanmatic = dexron or so I have been told

 

i think it was about 4 quarts for me and i used ATF dexron with mercon III, or something like that. when you drain the old fluid, pour it into a clear plastic gallon bottle so you can make a good estimate of how much you took out. Also make sure you have a 1/2 inch square drive to get the drain plug out, it's not a standard bolt.

 

Please excuse the stupidity of this question, but do Maxima's have transmission filters, and if so, would that need to changed as well?

 

depends on the year / model
