Does anyone know how to change the automatic fluid on 2002 Maxima Auto?
The dealer wants 139 to change the automatic trans fluid...

 

I'm assuming the $139 they quoted you was for a tranny flush, that is actually an average going price for that service. I think midas is the only one I have seen that charges considerably less. As for the how to, without the machine that actually performs the service you will only be able to drain a portion of your old fluid thus greatly decreasing any benefits associated with changing the fluid to begin with. If you really want to change the tranny fluid, you may want to consider shopping around and getting the flush done.

Just my 2 cents

your 2 cents are worth a lot.
Thak you

 

Jiffy Lube will do it for $99. While I was there, I asked them to do oil change and they did it free of charge.

Can you do it youeself? IF so you can save alot of money and it's pretty easy.

 

You can do it yourself for the price of the ATM fluid.

1)Unhook input line from tranny to radiator
2)Put line in a bucket
3)Start car, let 2 to 3 quarts enter bucket
4)Shut off car
5)Pour 2 to 3 quarts in transmission fill

Do this until you have gone through 10 to 12 quarts or the liquid is coming out clear. You could also pour 12 quarts of new into one bucket and put the output to tranny line in the bucket to suck the new fluid in as the old fluid is going out. Good luck!

 

Go to the nissan website and get coupons of it. You can get tranny flush for 50$ with a coupon.

 

Wow $50 is a steal. And if they do it youll prolly get the screeen and magnets cleaned. I am a big fan of Mobile 1 syn tranny fluid though.
