Hello all doing a drain and refill ( I do this every couple of years) however i forgot which trans fluid to use? Was it 5 or 4 quarts that drain out of the trans oil drain plug? 2002 Maxima AT Thanks...

 

Matic D, part number 999MP-AA100p, my drain and refill is about 3 quarts or so

 

Thank you!

 

You can drain more if you remove the return line and drain into a bucket

 

I use castrol import atf for probably 80-100,000 miles. Its been good to me. I drain and fill every 7000 miles because not all of it comes out. Only 50%. About 4qts.

Just my $.02

 

What i did see is a Global Multi Vehicle automatic transmission fluid One fluid to meet all car requirements--what i dont get is i guess ATF is all teh same except what they add to it?

 

I wouldnt reccamend a "global fluid" for the fact that most trans have a certain additive group they need (chevy uses dex and toyota,nissan uses *import fluids* and ford uses mercon). a global fluid could work for someone who doesnt beat the trans but why sacrifice reliability for a cheaper product, trans cost alot more than propper fluids.
