http://www.myoilshop.com for Redline products

Email me for Amsoil ATF which is way cheaper and performs the same if not better.

It is in your owner manual! On 97 it is 5 quarts for drain and 10 quarts for flush if you remove oil cooler return line. Not sure on 2002. I have converted 2 97 Maxima's (51k and 130k) to Amsoil Synthetic ATF with marvelous results.

...Well these crappy new owners manuals (2002) only say, "follow maintenance instructions" on the capacities chart, then you go to maintenance area and it basically says 'fill to proper dipstick level'. No capacities listed.

But I am having a shop do a full flush, cuz my auto tranny is choppy when hot, first to second shifts are very hard, so I am gonna try to see if a little synthetic infusion might help. Plus I just wanna do it!

I feel that Synthetics are the way to go with automatics regardless of which you choose. Post the results!

I believe the total capacity of the auto is 10 qts. Most places like at least 12 qts. in order to ensure a complete flush.

Check the threads in the forum. There is a 10% discount for the Redline ATF. I used that and got the bottle for like $7 or so..

Thanks for all your help guys, I will probably do this over the weekend. Anybody know a good brand name that can be bought in car parts stores (Hi/Lo, Pep Boys, Auto Zone, etc.) that is synthetic ATF that is comparable to Amsoil or Redline? Just to keep my options open.

I just had the flush performed at a shop. It used 12 quarts of Amsoil ATF for my 2k2.

How does the difference feel? Does your tranny shift more smoothly and quietly? I am curious to see if you can actually feel a difference... Thanks. I am experiencing rough shifts, so I am hoping this will help...
