Transmission Fluid 98 max

Gonna be changing the transmission fluid on the car soon. Just doing a drain and fill process. What type of fluid do you guys recommend? May do it myself or just take it to a transmission specialist not too expensive for a drain and fill. Also does the car have a screen? And you dont need to replace it cause its not like a filter you have to replace?

Just drain and refill it yourself.. I usually drain and refill mine 4x between 500 mile trips to cycle out the old fluid. A transmission flush process can shock an older transmission and cause problems. Just use a good Dexron 3. No need to replace the screen. Be sure to use a Nissan crush washer on drain plug.
