Changing ATF

Hello everyone, I am wondering at what intervals should the ATF be changed at. In the owners manual there is no mention of it and the car has 76,000 kilometers on it. I can't see the fluid lasting the life of the car. Has anyone changed theirs

Not sure about the conversion factor, but I believe Nissan recommends changing the ATF the first time at 60K miles and then every 30K after that. The better way would be to change it every 30K miles.

Have you seen the spreadsheet yet? It's in the general forum or just look for the link on bill99gxe's sig.

Edit: Oops, I was thinking coolant when I wrote this. Nissan says change ATF every 60K miles, a better practice is every 30K instead.
