I have a few questions. I already posted this in the maintenance section and got no response.

Where is the cheapest place online to buy a fuel filter and oil filter? And what are some recommended brands?

For the tranny fluid, I was planning on doing a "mini-flush" that I read about on here a few days ago...so how many quarts of ATF will I need for that, and is there really a difference between brands?

For the coolant, any recommendations on the brand?

Also, any general tips on actually doing it. I am a novice mechanic...all help will be appreciated.

They don't address online vendors, or general tips.

EDIT: Actually I don't need online vendors, just the best brand that you could pick up at an advanced auto parts.

There are some Nissan dealers that give 15-30% off regular prices on parts that you can order from. I use OEM fuel and oil filters. I ordered 6 oil filters and 2 fuel filters when I was ordering parts for my suspension from Garrand's Nissan last year. Still have 1 fuel filter and like 2 oil filters left. Going to order brake stuff in a few weeks and planning on restocking on the oil filters. Just stay away from the FRAM crap...
If you want to switch to syn. ATF, then you'll need to flush the whole thing. If you're sticking with regular ATF, just pour in as much ATF that comes out If it was posted a few days ago, look back a few pages...
