Empty oil pan after oil change...

auto trans fluid does have a smell, its disgusting. i love the smell of gear oil and used motor oil, but ATF churns my stomach for some reason. has that rose smell
there was one time i changed the trans on a Ford Explorer, and the old trans was absolutely toast. as in the oil was pitch black. i forgot i didnt drain the stupid thing and tipped the output end down, got at least a gallon of burnt trans fluid allover me. and it soaked through my coveralls onto my shirt, everything. it smelled so horrible and it didnt go away for days

Eh, it happens! But it's pretty funny!
Come on, ish happens man. These imports are "foreign" to us Domestic guys. I can see myself with a couple beers in me thinking, "maybe right now is a great time to change my oil on the new Maxima....hiccup."

Same problem
I did a transmission oil change and I experienced the same problem.
after draining the transmission oil from the driver side, I added new oil from the dipstick.
Since I notice that the level was to high, I opened the oil pan but nothing came out.
Why is happening?
PS. I recently bought this car, and I think the transmission oil change has never been done.the oil was dark brown

When you drop the fluid you should measure it and put that amount back in. Start the car, move the selector through the gears, check the fluid in P (or N) to make sure you aren't too low, drive the car to warm up trans., check fluid again.
