How much automatic transmission fluid do the 4th generation max's need? I couldn't find this info in the FAQ's, how-to's or even the haynes book (it says to measure what drains out...very informative). Lots of info for manuals out there, but not much for autos.

Also, should I bother getting the Nissan D-matic fluid, or will the dexron III/mercon fluid work fine?

Thx

 

Like it says under your name, read the FAQ's before posting questions like this.

 

hey panta go to autozone and buy yourself a repair manual (HANEYS) it will save you a great deal of frustration and will also tell you how much to put in, DONT FORTGET TO GRAIN YOU TORQUE CONVERTER ALSO!

 

Doug, it depends on how you're changing the fluid. I detached the return line from the tranny cooler to the transmission and put the end in a bucket. Run the car until about 2 quarts drains out. Go add 2 quarts to the filler neck and repeat. I was happy after 5 goes (about 10 quarts). At that point, my tranny was full of oil and was running clear. Doing it this way, you won't need to know the exact capacity.
